OK gang here is my dilemma. I just installed a Dish receiver 722K, dual tuner for HDTV. I know I can not receive the required 3 birds on BOW and will use the F-1 BOW for regular non-HD programing when traveling. My problem is that when hooked to the 1000.1 dish at our lot, the receiver requires 3 inputs, the two from the F-1 BOW and another from the Dish 1000.1 dish and these must pass through a switch to get to the receiver. The SW-21 is out, because it isn't compatible with another switch and the 34 or 44 switch will not see the lipstick LNB from the BOW because it is a legacy LNB, however it will see the 110 legacy LNB. does anyone know of a 3 input, 2 output switch that will see the 2 legacy LNBs, the 1000.1 LNB and pass the information through to the 722K?

Thanks for the replies.

Texan,

I would recommend checking with Satellite Forums. Many techies there, including installers of satellite systems. - Dave

Thanks Dave, did that 1st and have not received a reply yet. Thought some of the old timers here with a solid background in electronics might know. I can make it work with a mechanical A/B switch, but would prefer to have an electronic pass through switch, if I can find one that will work with the legacy LNBs on the roof.
