107.3, 110, 119 are tied up in subscription services (StarChoice for 107.3, Dish for 110/119)

I'm only asking because I really like your setup, but, I know my wife would never let me have anything remotely similar to yours if it means several dishes!
One dish would handle most of the arc. The only drawbacks are
40 degree span and 2 degree separation isnt recommended (the brackets are too big)

I have 4 4x4 multiswitches (4 cables in 4 cables out) set up. So that can take 8 LNB's (the input needs both V & H cables set up) but on some I have only one side of the multiswitch set up for the LNB. This allows me to get more LNB's set up but I only get one polarity on that satellite.

Like 72 almost all the stuff is on V. So I plug that into the 13v on the multiswitch. 83 H is the same way. So that allows me to go beyond 8 LNB's

On the multiswitches, each output goes to a 4x1 diseqc so I can run 4 receivers
