hooking up a third Receiver - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I'm getting to sign back up to bell expressVu. I have currently have a 3100 and purchasing a 5900 later this week. I want to add a third receiver. I not interested in HD at this time. I thought I could use another dual LNB on the dish with the that is used for the second sat but have both dual LNBs with up 82. I wondering if this will work or do I need to purchse a switch or splitter.

thanks

You need a switch, run both lines from the dual LNB to the switch then you will have 4 outputs for your receivers, if you get a 4 way switch obviously.
