Noel,
Not sure if this will help but I have a 5x8 multi-switch (Aspen Eagle model which has been in place for 2 yrs now with no problems) for Directv. 4 of the inputs are for the D* dish while the other input is an OTA input. This switch will multiplex the OTA with the D* signals. This switch will provide 8 outputs to the D* equipment. In my case, i'm feeding 3 DVRs @ 2 drops per DVR and 1 HD receiver for a total of 7 drops used from the switch. What is required at the other end is a diplexer which will seperate the D* signal from the OTA signal. This diplexer is put in line with one of the drops at the D* receiver. I would assume the same type of functionality is available for the Dish equipment. Hope this helps.
