hi,
this is my setup,

a 4' dish pointing to dn110, already seeing al local channels,
a 6' dish trying to get g-10r

question is: can i use the switch used for pansat unit to share both sats
in g-10r and dn110 like i used to do with dn119 and dn110?

dos that switch deal with that two IF frecuency at the same time?

Yeah that switch should work fine.....and if you are having a problem still getting a signal one of the members/sorry dont remember which vip it was/ had a similar problem not getting signal with a switch...and discharged the switch lnb with a wire several times and then it worked fine.
Seems they can build up a static charge or something....so just in case you are not getting a signal....try that on the switch.
But the one you have should be fine

I first tried g-10r alone and its works, then found a bad short cable that i'm using when trying to junct both signals, thanks a lot, i'll in touch.

but i think is a good idea to ground the switch just in case, i'll do that:beer:
thanks

If your coax cable goes to a ground block where it enters the house ( as it should ) , I'd guess it wouldn't be necessary to separately ground the switch, although it can't hurt unless you run a sheet metal screw into something vital.

I did all connections by myself, made all wiring, so i didn't take care of those details, now i'm going to do it in order to enhance my setup, your comments
are so helpful, until now, i'd never learn to that level i'm getting in this site so
thanks you all guys:)
