relativityt is on a distinguished road
My current DTV setup is as follows:
a Dual LNB dish connected to a multiswitch in the house. The multiswitch also has cable TV connected to it, effectively, i've merged the DSS signal and Cable TV into one cable throughout the house. I use Diplexers on each output to split the cable / DSS signal back to the original format.

Now, I've added a FTA system. Instead of having two dishes, I have one 30 " dish with both the Linear LNB and DSS LNB connected (strapped on to the West side of the linear LNB) by adjusting the dish manually I can receive both Ku Linear and Dishnet/Bell FTA signals. Works great but I have to manually point the dish to hit the bird I want to receive and swap cables on the LNB.

Now that I am adding the motor, it gets a little confusing. Where does the switch go? Before the receiver? or just before the LNB and after the motor?

I still want to keep my multiswitch setup so I can still use my DTV setup on any TV in the house. The FTA system will be limited to one TV set.

The more I think about it, it looks like I need to install a 2nd dish just for 101...
