Yo can only get 1-DN and 1-BEV at best
That dish was designed for 101/110/119
Middle LNB blocks any freq below 12.5GHz
So yo can only get sats off 2 side LNBs
Middle LNB is practically usless
2 side LNBs are about 20 degrees apart
Therefore won't work on 82/91 at same time
won't work on 110/119 at same time
But at best 91 and 110 together if point middle LNB towards 101
If decide to add an extra LNB for 119
all 4 LNBs must be on straight line
So much tweaks but can get 91/110/119
Not for a newbie but a skilled installer can get all 3 |

usually 2 seperate dishes
1-dish for BEV 1-dish for DN
However I really do think that DTV is great to have one of each or at least test with it |

There are two Digiwave Dishes 18 x 30 and 18x 24 which work well for more than three sats. That is what I read in this forum. |

g v r: If you have Dish Twins (one LNB receiveing two sats and one output cable), you are better off with DP34 or 44 switch. Additional booster power may be needed on output port one in the form of an old DN receiver.
If you have simple or legacy standard or dual LNBs (one LNB scanning one sat and giving two outputs for two receivers) you are OK with DiseqC switch(es). |
