Help With Multiswitch

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

I have a dual lnb direct tv dish and I bought a multiswitch so I can make it
a 4 lnb dish. I bought a Terk multiswitch. When I got home I read the back
of the box and it says this "You will need a Terk diplexer at each of the
locations to seperate the signal back to the tv antenna for cable and
satellite. Well Im not going to use the cable part of it. I just want to
run the two lnbs into it and have the 4 coming out. Two of them will go to
each of my 2 direct tivos. Did I bought the right switch? Do I need this
diplexer if Im not using the cable part or the antenna part? Any help is
appreciated. Thanks.
