You have two options. The first option is to continue using your existing LNB and simply connect it to a DP34 switch which will support up to four receivers. The DP34 can also be cascaded (daisy-chained) to up to two additional DP34 switches to support a maximum of twelve receivers. However, there are power issues with most FTA receivers with DP34's: they don't output enough juice to adequately power the DP34. The second option is to replace your DP Twin LNB with a DP Quad. The DP Quad will support a maximum of four receivers.
