The card readers in the boxes are used for european users. There they do not have to purchase a box from the provider, they can buy any box and put the card from their provider in it.

1 dish with a twin or quad LNB will get DN 110 & 119. (they are in the same location)
Anything else you want to see, will require another dish & pointing it into another direction.
You can only scan a satellite after you find the signal (by turning the dish) with a signal meter.
Once you can verify the actual satellite, you can scan it.
It's not clear what LNB you have, so difficult to tell you about the switch. (because some are built in to the LNB)

Look at the dish3s, they will say 500 hundred on them, you can use one for birds 110/119 and the other for the canadian birds
