Zinwell Switch?
hello bought a zinwell 4x4 switch a while back but have had no luck getting to do what i thought it might do.was trying to hook up 2 recievers from 110,119, and 91 but only one sat would come up.my question is,are the zinwell swithces for this type of application or should i try to get a dp34 switch.eventually i would like to hook a third reciever in bedroom so what would be best.bought that zinwell for 70$ and i pretty much feel like i wasted my money thanks for any help

Re: Zinwell Switch?
if you have dishpro lnbs the zinwells will not work with them the already have built in switches messes up the signal .. then yes a dp34 would be better

Re: Zinwell Switch?
if there is just one coax it is a dn lnb it has a built in switch read the info on the lnbs and post here and we can tell ya for sure but i am almost positive it is a dn lb .. wich means a good dp34 and yes you can hook up to seeral recievers

Re: Zinwell Switch?
i tried to look at pictures of lnb's to find out the correct name of mine i always forget but when i clicked on the link it said you had to be a vip member,i dont remember that happening last time so maybe i was in the wrong spot?i know for a fact that all three of my lnb's have two coax terminals on them,two are dn lnb's and one is bev lnb

Re: Zinwell Switch?
yeah but the dn ones will not work you can use the bev i sat since you have the switch already swap the dn lnbs for 2 dss ones and then you can use tyhat switch for 2 lnbs .. and run the other recievers cheapest way the dp34 and not cheap

Re: Zinwell Switch?
That switch will only work with DTV, non dish LNBS. The 4x4 switch will only work for two sats. You would need both lines from you LNBs.
