My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S

No - A disecq switch allows two fixed dishes to be connected to one receiver down one cable.

Ive got a horribly complicated switching system in involving 5 dishes and 7 different lnbs connected to my DreamBox!

The picture shows a pretty typical 4 way switch.
