3 Sats to 4 receivers best set up?
I have read a lot in this section but am still confused as to the best way to set this up. Currently have:
BEV dish (Same size as Dish 500) w/ 2 legacy D shaped circular dual LNB
3 Nfusion phoenix
old DTV 3X4 switch
1 4X1 diseqc switch
I need to know the best sat dish and lnb and/or switches to buy to setup 110, 119 and 91 on 4 receivers.
Will a dish 500 with dishpro twin plus lnb(pointed to get 110 and 119) with the BEV dish(91) being fed into the extra port in the dish pro lnb work, without a dishpro receiver attached and what switches would this require to get all three sats to 4 receivers?

Dp 34 is about 60 bucks,it can have three sat connected to feed four rec,pretty simple to connect,one wire from each lnb port to swicth port.

Re: 3 Sats to 4 receivers best set up?
I thought of that too but I'm not sure I can mix the DP switch with the legacy LNB on my existing dish I use to pick up 91 or If I can even attach the legacy LNB to the in port of the DP plus twin and have it work. I also thought I read somewhere that you needed a dish pro receiver attached to this to power the internal switch and that the diseqc switch needed to come after the multiswitch for fta and that would be problematic as the switches are built into the lnb. This is why I'm confused as to whether this can work for me too much info!!

a dp 34 switch will also be needed and set it up like this although this one says sat 97w it will work for 91w also this only shows 3 receivers but you can do the 4th one
