I understand this system was built to facilitate five satellites, but I was doing some research for a friend of mine and I was curious if this switch would work on his Phase II Dish.

It passes the 101 and 119 satellites that the Slim Line uses, so in theory shouldn't it work? The receiver being uses is a R22 and it's a situation where running a second line would be damn near impossible.

If anyone has tried this or can give me confirmation, that would be great. I talked to PDI Sat, maker of some of the SWM Expander products and they were scratching their heads at this too with the whole "yeah, in theory" explanation.

No reason it shouldn't work. Wouldn't hurt to ask about it over on sister site dbstalk though.

Helped a friend install his when he purchased a new HR21R to future proof it but had no HDTVs currently in his house. He did not have enough cable runs into the den and did not want cable outside of the wall.
