Can I daisy chain two multi-switches?

[askewed]

The 4 lines from the dish go into my powered switch... 8 come out. Could two of the 8 feed the old multi-switch (previously on the back of the dish)?

Thanks!

It depends on if it is "cascadable".

I'll check that... Thanks!

Is the new Zinwell WB68 multiswitch cascadable with another WB68?

If you're only feeding 2 lines into your old switch it must be for the 101 sat only - therefore "cascadable" isn't an issue (or meaningful, in this case.)

Sure, it will work.

I was upgraded to a 5-lnb dish a week ago. The installer installed two WB68 multiswitches. The first multiswitch is connected to the 5-lnb dish using 4 leads. The second one is cascaded from the first using 4 outputs of the first one. Running 3 STD Receivers, 2 HD-Tivo Receivers, 1 SD-Tivo Receiver and 1 H20 Receiver with no problems.

Are you having any problems when switching off the 72.5 to the 101 sat? I have a problem when both tuners are on the 72.5 sat. If I try to record or go to a channel on 101 sat it will not switch. I get a black screen .

Thanks

Zinwell 6x8 multi switches are NOT cascable....

What happens is if both your tuners are on 72.5 sat when tivo attempts to record certain channels on 101 sat you will get a black screen. This happens sometimes but not all the times. Very frustrating to say the least.

Thanks

It would seem only the flexports are a problem. Maybe putting the flexports in parallel using wide band, high frequency satellite splitters will do the trick. They work on the regular ports for putting two multiswitches in parallel.

Zinwell has a new 6 x 16 Wide-band Multi-switch WB616 for Ka/Ku Dish Antenna

I am certainly interested in this product because I can then consolidate my connections.

Anyone tried this yet?

Peace and blessings,
