Hi Don:

Here is a wiring diagram for you that will allow up to 4 DishNet receivers from 1 Dish500 dish.

Will the diagran shown in above post work if I add a VP-1020 as reciever to my existing d***?

I tried the VP-1020 with Bell ExpressVu's dual dish (same as DishNetwork's Dish 500) and it DID NOT recognize the SW21 switch; so I doubt that the VP-1020 will work as a "receiver" in that diagram.

Please refer to http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads.../install-5.pdf

Now if in place of Primary SW64 in this diagram we use a 4x1 diseqc, then technically it can feed a VP-1020 or Nexus etc. Since diseqc will be connected to pass thru port of the splitter, it should be as good as connecting it straight to LNB output!

This way the Secondary SW64 can continue to feed the subscribed IRDs (upto 4 receivers) while the 4X1 diseqc can be used to view FTA on a PC.

Any thoughts? Also if this would work, where do you find the Feed-Through Loads?
Thanks.
