HD and Video Sources

I have 6 cottages, all next to each other. I want to put an hd bell receiver in each one but only use one dish for all 6 buildings. all buildings are wired back to a central electrical building where the dish will be installed. cable distance is not a factor. What do I need for a multiswitch and how do I wire it. I've done multiple receivers before  but not high def and not 6 at once.

Equipment required, Dish, 2 x LNBF's, 2 x SW44's and 2 4 Way Multiswitch's.

Install a regular 4 Way multiswitch on the 2 lines from the 91 degree LNBF, then feed 2 of the outputs to the first SW44, the remaining 2 to a second SW44.  Duplicate for the 2 line from the 82 degree LNBF.

Sounds more complex than it is.

This is of course if you are only putting 6100 or 6141's in each location, if you are going to use Dual Tuner HD PVR's then thats a different matter.

For 6 x 9200/9242's.

Use 6 way Multiswitch's and 3 x SW44's.

Hope that helps.
