So I have 2 cable that I would like to become just 1 and also, I want to feed 2 receivers.
What kind of switch would be needed?
ps: I dont want to go the the roof again so even if it was possible to connect the dishpro to the dish 1000.2, and bring only 2 cable, 1 for each receiver, i would prefer a solution with a switch that I would connect inside my house.
Any help would be apreciated
Thanks

First, if you have Dishpro Quad LNB, than there is no need for SW21. Most likely you have two Dual LNB, either Legacy or DP. If those LNB do not have a big DP logo on it, than those are Legacy.
Now,
About switch, that would depend on what kind of FTA receiver do you have and do you have or planning to have a sub receiver, too.
Since you have 129 and 82, I am assuming that you may have Nfusion HD receiver. If you do not have HD receiver, than there may be no reason to watch 129 and 82, since most of channels on both satellites are High Definition channels.
Back to switch question,
Most FTA receivers can produce between 400Ma to 500Ma with exeptions of few (SV Elite can go up to 700Ma, 750Ma, NF HD and NF Phoenix can produce up to 1000Ma output power). LNB for 1000.2 needs around 750Ma to 800Ma to operate, so most of FTA receivers can not handle this monster alone.
If you have NF HD receiver than you may be just on the edge if 82/91 LNB are Legacy, using ECODA and SW21.
Connect any of first three ports of 1000.2 LNB to one side of ECODA, connect SW21 from 82/91 to other side of ECODA, connect ECODA to receiver. In this case, instead of ECODA, you can use Chieta 22Khz switch, too, just make sure that 1000.2 LNB is connected to 0KHz (or OFF) side.
Keep on mind that both SW21 and 22KHz switches are "both ports open" switches. It means they allow current to flow through both ports, so receiver will need to produce power for all LNB connected on both sides of this switch.
Lets go back to math table
1000.2 uses around 750Ma to 800Ma
2 Dual Legacy use around 200Ma to 250Ma
SW21 uses about 50Ma
ECODA uses around 50Ma
Total is between 1050Ma to 1150Ma which may be to much for NF HD, too.
In the case you have two DP LNB for 82/91, they use around 250Ma to 300Ma and in the case you have DP Twin for 82/91 it uses around 350Ma to 400Ma, DP Quad uses close to 550Ma; DPP Twin is close to 650Ma and above.
Do you see where I am going with this? You do the math.
One receiver will not have enough power to supply to this system. With two receivers you may not have a problem, depending on brand. Just repeat steps from first receiver.
If you want to have only one FTA receiver your best option will be to get DPP44 switch because DPP44 has its own power supply adapter and will provide power to ALL LNB connected to it.
