As I know, DN and BV don't allow users to use any third party receiver, eventhough the third party receiver receiver such as the Fortec 5900 might work with DN/BV smart card.
In N.America, there are other sat providers such as Globecast using Nagravision encryption system to secure their services, therefor users might use recievers which accept CAM for subcription. Again, some sat providers allow users to use third party receivers while the other don't. One must contact sat providers to see if they allow subcribers to use third party hardware.
Back to your question about the switch, the answer is Yes, you can use a Diseqc 4x1 to switch up to 4 lnbfs.

Will the Fortec 5900 work for Dish and Bev? What is the Nagravision embedded slot for? Can I take my Bev and Dish subbed cards and put them into the Nagravision slot and receive the channels I am subscribed to? I'm looking to pick up nimiq 82 and 91. Echostar 110, and 148. Can I use a DiscEq 4 switch to acheive this? Is this the only or the best receiver for what I wish to do?
