what do you call "switchers"?
Specifics, please![]()
I have an oval dish, 2 by 3 Feet, and am picking up strong signals from the following satellites 82,91,110 & 119. Some switchers have too much info and others have too little. I am using dual LNB's sold by Sadoun. Please inform me as to what I should buy, specifics please.
Thank you for your help.

Hi
Thanks for your response.
I call switchers as a combiner for lnb outputs that permit the signal from each LNB to go to 1 or more receivers. In my case I want to combine 4 LNB outputs to feed 2 receivers.
Thanks Hoppy1
what type of receivers do you want to feed?

Assuming, if you use "legacy" type DPL2 or DSL2 LNBf, sold by Sadoun, and you have two Dish Network receivers, you need to use two SW21 switches (one for each receiver).
Or two of these: VI 35-SW21X 2-in-1 Multi-Dish Switch
Thank you boroda1. At least you have pointed me in the right direction, Thanks.
You are right in stating I have a DPL2. It was always (maybe) my incorrect understanding was that each of 2 outputs on a LNBF were identical. I may be all wet but thats not the first time. I may have confirmed that but Im not sure. If I point the LNBF at the 119 satellite and check the channels I am receiving the signals at each F connector on the LNBF and each produce the same channels on my receiver! Your advice is greatly appreciated. Hoppy1
Was glad to help. Yes, on modern dual LNBf outputs are identical. On some older LNBs, there were separate outputs for H and V polarities.
hoppy1:
You haven't answered rainman's question: What kind of receivers are you using? Dishnetwork receivers? Unlikely if you are trying for Nimiq 82 and 91.
