Which Disequ switch to use?

Just purchased a Fortec 90CM Dish with a Stab HH100 motor and a Invacom QPH-031 Quad Polar LNB (Both Circular and Linear) to work with a Pansat 3500s FTA reciever.
I now have 1 Pansat 3500s Reciever. I want to set this up, the wiring and Diseqc switch to be able to work with one FTA reciever now but set up to work with 4 FTA recievers in the future. THe
LNB I am using has four outputs does this then go into a 4x4 diseqc switch so I can use one fta now and four in the future. If so will each IRD be able to recieve both KU and FSS bands?
Thanks, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty new also but I have the same LNBF as you do and this is my understanding of the setup. There are 4 outputs on the LNBF, two are for linear polarization and the other two are for circular polarization broadcasts. I have a 4x1 switch which has 4 inputs and one output to the receiver. So run a cable from each of the 4 outputs on the LNBF to each of the four inputs on the switch, then from the output on the switch to your receiver. Now you can receive two linear and two circular broadcasts. I believe you use the receiver to switch between outputs 1,2,3 or 4. Hope this makes some sense. You mentioned a 4x4 switch. If that has 4 inputs AND 4 outputs then I guess you could eventually connect to 4 receivers. Any experts out there please correct me if I'm wrong.
