Will this work?


This is what I was told to do off one of the FTA forums. I have 3 Zinwell 6x8 which (I have included pictures off) that I want to use instead of the 4x4. We are still confused about the two flex port ports on the Zinwells. What are they for?

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I still think going 110% Legacy would be a lot easier for you[/font][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']

You would need:
(3) 4x4 multiswitches
(3) DiseqC switches
(4) Legacy Duals

two cables from each dual lnbf goes to one side of a multiswitch, like this:
119w to the ON side of 4x4 #1
110w to the OFF side of 4x4 #1
91w to the ON side of 4x4 #2
82w to the OFF side of 4x4 #2
61.5w to the ON side of 4x4 #3
97w to the OFF side of 4x4 #3

One cable from 4x4 #1 goes to port 1
One cable from 4x4 #2 goes to port 2
One cable from 4x4 #3 goes to port 3

Settings:

119w
LNB Type: Standard, LNB Freq: 11250, 22khz: ON, DiseqC: 1, Legacy SW: None

110w
LNB Type: Standard, LNB Freq: 11250, 22khz: OFF, DiseqC: 1, Legacy SW: None

91w
LNB Type: Standard, LNB Freq: 11250, 22khz: ON, DiseqC: 2, Legacy SW: None

82w
LNB Type: Standard, LNB Freq: 11250, 22khz: OFF, DiseqC: 2, Legacy SW: None

61.5w
LNB Type: Standard, LNB Freq: 11250, 22khz: ON, DiseqC: 3, Legacy SW: None

97w
LNB Type: Standard, LNB Freq: 11250, 22khz: OFF, DiseqC: 3, Legacy SW: None[/font]

The two flexports on the Zinwell 6x8 multi-switch are for an off-air antenna or for a second dish (like for getting local channels that aren't HD signals).

Either way, you'll be able to setup your receiver to find local channels and display them in the guide (DirecTV; no clue about Dish or FTA).
