I am trying to source a way of connecting 19 sky + receivers to a multiswitch in Europe. The receivers require 2 coax feeds thus 38 outputs are required? I do not know of a switch that size and the correct way to connect the two lines from each receiver and thus require some help on possible switch solutions or cascading for success? Please advise the reason for two coax lines. I guess one is for HH and the other VH as the satellite is all digital in the high band?

Any and all help would be grately appreciated

Thank you

The two polarizations let you double your channel numbers, hence one V and one H.

11.7 to 12.5 Ghz frequency (in Europe)will require some higher frequency coaxial switches.

I don't really understand your switch requirements clearly. If you have 38 ports and need to connect them to just one output port? If yes, then purchase four 1x10 coaxial switches and a 1x4 switch and connect together with rf cables, 40 inputs to 1 output result. Price would probably be $5K US range.
