How Can a Dish 500 Twin Support 6 Receivers ?

I currently have a DISH 500 TWIN dish that is supporting 4 receivers. I want to add two more receivers. Can someone direct me to a wiring diagram for this configuration ? I have tried the DISH network site and it only shows and 8 receiver wiring setup with Dual LNBFs instead of the TWIN. Can someone point me to a diagram ??

Thanks !!!

You can use two SW44 multiswitches and four HF splitters. I have linked a diagram for you. This setup handles up to 8 receivers. If you only use 6 then just don't use the 7th and 8th output on the secondary SW44. You will need to change your TWIN LNB for a QUAD or else swap it for two duals. Or slap up another dish; probably cheaper.

6 Receiver Dish Installation ...

Wow ! I appreciate the quick reply. It's a bummer that I can't use my Dish but at least this gives me a way to do it ! I never realized how many different dishes and switches there are out there until I looked into upgrading my setup. Seems kinda crazy why it has to be this complicated but Thanks Again !!! ...
