if your running one receiver with one lnb no switch is required. hook it direct.

what is the switch for then.

**bigevil69** · January 25th, 2009

the switch is to hook multiple lnbs to 1 receiver

First of all thank you for helping me im new to this stuff.

Well i have a direct tv world direct dish ( i think its 33'' and oval ) with 95 Ku feed horn assembly with p170ku + single output lnb/

input freq. 11.7-12.2 ghz
output freq. 950-1450 mhz

Will this work.

Second, im thinking of buying (DUAL DSS LNB (11250 Frequency) or DUAL Ku-Band LNB Linear (10750 Frequency) ) to connect to this dish because i have a extra space for another lnb with the one on the top.

what should i do.

THank you

You do not need to use a switch for your setup as of now. If you get another LNB then you would use a 4x1 switch. Good Luck
