Let me start off by saying we don't do dish network, hell we don't do directv anymore since they seem to like screwing us but i do have a new customer who wants dish network and 8 receivers around the house. What type of multiswitch will i need to accomplish this? With directv i would just use a terk or spaun but i have noticed recently what seems to be a 4x4 multiswitch being installed on the sides of peoples homes who get dishnetwork? Then one of our guys mentioned the dish guy on another job supplied power to the switch from our tv location, backfeeding it to the switch? So i don't want to order the wrong parts and have them just gathering dust in the warehouse nor do i want to rely on the dish installer having a clue (Or installing 2 dishes,UGHHH)

If using dish pro lnbs you can use the dp 44 switch. these allow 3 dishes with 4 receivers. they can then be daisy chained. You can also use the spaun equipment which always works well.

We use the DP34 switches by Dish Network. Three inputs, Four outputs to receivers and 4 outputs that can be cascaded to another DP34. See this link: [Link: sadoun.com]Hope this helps, Dave T

Let your client know they will need to pay for 2 accounts too.

Roddy what do you mean by that? You can't just add the extra receivers to the dish account? Or do they have a maximum number of receivers you can put on one account?
Also thanks for the info everybody!

Welcome to the world of Dish, one house with more than 6 boxes =, they have to pay for 2 accounts. I have two customers who do this now. Dish even came to inspect one of the houses to make sure everything was legit, and it was. But they still pay double what one would pay if they 6 or less boxes.
Absolute deal breaker for me!

Use the dual tuner models with built in modulators and you can get by with fewer receivers.
