Does anyone know if an Eagle Aspen DTV4X8 Multiswitch is compatible with the Bell TV receivers/satellite set up?

Am I correct in saying that Bell TV satellites only have 2 lines coming from the satellite?

Cheers.

That switch will not work with Bell TV.

If you are wanting signals to 4 HD Tuners you need an SW44.
If you are wanting signals to 4 SD Tuners then a 2x4 switch is what you want.

Thanks Pinza.

I would actually need 1 HDPVR and 3 HD Tuners or 2 HDPVR and 2 HD Tuners.

Would a SW44 still work?

This is the thread you need for that scenario;

An SW44 will feed 2 HD PVRs or 1 HD PVR and 2 receivers. (4 tuners total.) For more than that a special setup is required, as described in the installation threads.
