2 receivers to 1 TV? - ABA DSS

Is there a way to switch one TV between a DN receiver and a FTA receiver without disconnecting and reconnecting cables?

Yes,

Get an A/B switch at R----shack or H---depot. Costs less than $5. This will have two inputs and one output with a switch to select between the two inputs. Output goes to TV, connect the FTA to one input, DN to the other input. Simply switch between the two as needed.

Or... Most FTA boxes and cable boxes have a secondary input for an antennae or cable. You could use either for either.

The A/B switch works for the output. Is there a similar solution to be able to connect two receivers to one two-wire dish?

????????? Are you looking for a switch for 2 LNB's????????????

Sorry, think I asked the wrong question. I'd like to be able to switch the input for a DN receiver to a VS, both of which are connected to the same TV. I currently have a 4 TV setup through two receivers and one dish with a twin LNB. I believe that all of the LNBs are accounted for with the two receivers, but I would like to be able to switch from one of these two to a third receiver. Hope this is a clearer discription of my predicament.

Thats simple, just connect the cable in to your Viewsat and then ant out to DN receiver and from DN receiver to tv.

Tried it but i wasn't able to get any signal on the DN. Maybe I misunderstood where to connect cable in and ant out. I connected LNB to the "LNB in" and the "TV out" to the DN input.
