Are 22khz switches and universal LNBs compatible? If not what does one do when setting up more than 8 LNBs.
 
Use cascading DiSEqC switches and a compatible receiver.
 
I have two universal LNBs connected via 22khz switch to 1 input of diseqc - works fine.
 
I have six LNB and I rather used a 0/12v switch. I was taught that Universal LNBs used 22KHz tone for band switching( Low/High) so it cannot be used with universals.
 
Yes, but certain satellites broadcast only in one band and one polarisation. For example, I've used to connect 80E and 75E via that switch.

Won't help the o/p then, so why post it ?

In this case you need a relay unit for 2 LNBs and one receiver. The existence or not of 22KHz is used in order to selext LNB (east/west).

you do as Channel Hoper says.
You use DiSEqC switches 1.0 with four inputs. These switches are connected to the LNBs. The outputs of these switches are connected to another DiSEqC switch (not 1.0, i think 1.1 or 1.2). The output of the final switch should be led to the receiver.
The receiver should support DiSEqC. You can connect up to 64 LNBs to a single receiver.
