are they DP "dish pro lnb's?? if so, then get yourself a DP34 switch, it will give you 3 sats to 4 or more boxes. You should see a DP logo on the lnb's. Let us know bud. BG OUT

the easiest way is to replace the captive works lnb with a dp lnb, i believe if you look online for dp linear lnb, you will find one for chaep, and then get you a dp34 sw and connect one cable from each lnb to the 3 inputs on the switch, and then you will have 4 outputs, but you can add more switches for up to 12-16 tuners in the future. hope this helps, but if not, just let me know bud.

97 west sat is galaxy 19 it repaced galaxy 25 this sat is a true fta sat you need a 30'' or bigger dish with linear lnb and the way to hook it up is with diplixers to swap from dn dish to the fta dish

right, but i am assuming that he had 97 before, so if he just swaps out his linear with a dp if he can find one it will work with 34. If he cant get a linear dp, then he could always just use a non-bandstacked switch and just use both cable ports on his dual lnb's to switch 13-18 and voila....multible sets on one lnb per bird. If he wanted to go the diplexer route, he could still stay dp, just get a dp35 switch, they are not ******** but still use dp tech plus add an ota input and then he could use a diplexer. but i think he wants all sats on all sets....correct artramadan? What kind of dish are you using for your 97 reception?? I know you are supposed to use a 30+ inch dish bbut i know a person who, other than more rain fade, is using a 20 inch dish for true fta sats, and it seems to work fine.
