I am currently getting 110,119,91 on a elliptical and 82 on single 18in dish with a 4x1 disqc switch and was wondering how to connect another dish for 129.what switch would i need?

I think they got 8x4 not real sure on best model. maybe one other Mod step in with correct model name for you.

You should be able to just add a SW21 switch to the mix to 1 receiver.. or you can try this, I have 2 of them, but have never tested them, but ROK makes a 7 x 1, price is good.. and ROK makes decent switches... This will only confuse you.. I run 2 zinwell 4x8's... to 4 sw21's to combine both zinwells with.. . for 110, 119, 91, 82, and I then added just to my hd receiver... via another sw21 switch.. 129... the receiver on its own.. decided it should be assigned a diseqc setting... and it works fine.. and I have 4 receivers running off of my setup... nfusion,sonicview 4000, sonicview8000, and DN receiver... had to use the non powered side of both switches for the 110 and 119, for the DN receiver to work.. just something to look at... not everyone has success with zinwell switches, most don't understand the 22kzh powered side... hope that helps.. good luck, txsgen

depending on the lnbs you have, txsgent has the best solution...zinwell switches seem to work better on legacy lnbs, i think they will work with dp also but not sure...

If you are using legacy lnbs, you could simply connect the 82 and 129 to a Ecoda 22khz switch and feed them with 1 coax to the existing 4X1 disq. Or double up on any other 2 lnbs. This is only if you are just feeding 1 receiver. I have tried it and it works great.
