why have a forum when there are certain people who don't want to give you an answer instead try to say your unqualified.
Sorry to have ruffled your feathers, but if you'd carefully read my post #2 it included the following:
"However, regardless of which you refer to, Peds48 is spot on, you need a conventional LNB assembly, 4 coax feed to a SWM16 multiswitch and a pair of splitters to distribute the signals."
That tells you just how to do it and what you'd need. If anyone would read this entire thread it still appears to me that you'd be well served to allow the scruffy installer to put in your SWM16 system. I may be wrong so why don't you post back when you get it all up and running and let us know?

no if you are careful when you remove the LNB's there is no need to re-aim. i have attach an schematic showing the 2 6x8 switches.

If you're joining the "zipper" club, welcome, I wish you well. Be sure to note on the Peds48 schematic that splitter #1 feeds both intputs to port #1 on the Zinwell's, splitter #2 to ports #2, etc.

make sure that you connect output from splitter one to the same ports on both switches, same with splitter two three and four.

that is the same switches the op is trying to connect. the WB16 has been discontinued, therefore is no longer manufactured. about the only place the this switch can be found is on ebay or the like websites.
