you can combine your twin with your other 2 legacy lnbs with use of just a 4x1 diseqc (2 lines out from the twin into ports 1-2 of diseqc.other ports 3-4 simply plug from legacy's)

all 4 of those are a must have where possible for the fta tester.

thanks a lot my friend

[fher453]

which sats are better 82-91 or 92-101

[arboristman]

101 is dtv.fta receivers cannot get that.

look here for channels

North & South America - LyngSat

[fher453]

my receiver is dp 301 (I will get one better soon) could I add another sats like 82-91

no,you need at LEAST a 30" and also a linear lnb.

[greenkid]

Do I need a big dish to receive 118?? and what lnb do I need???
thanks

[arboristman]

ok lets stay on topic here.this thread is to talk about those sats listed and help with small dishes.
if you would like to know about OTHER birds please start a new thread.

if you have a dish 500 pointed to 119/110 and another dish 500 pointed to 82/91 or any combo of dishes pointed to all 4 combined with a switch then you simply scan in all 4 birds and can view all channels on any of them simply by changing channels.

Hello...is it possibly to get 119/91 on one dish..?...I have DN(110,119 *on One dish*and61.5*separate dish*)...thinking of replacing 110 with 91 is it possible..?

nope.to far away from each other with a small dish 500.
hang another dish 500 for 91/82.
then you will have 119/110/91/82/61.5 then you will combine all 5 birds with 1 4x1 diseqc and 1 ecoda 22khz switch.
(start a new thread for this when ready if you need help)

ok....thank you.

just like you can get 119/110 on one dish.
they both share 9 degrees separation.
so just grab a bracket,or make a poor mans dish by simply strapping on another lnb to the 91 lnb,that you already have.
its very cheap and easy.

get a phase 3 dish, two single lnbs a disq, screws duct tape, make your own ddish500, mine works fine for echo 7+8,

tst FLU, Flu to 2500,006wc,ipro1000, psat,vsat
sats one dsh500, phase 3 converted to 500 series, couple of 18inchers
lots of sw21's and disqs

I live in aruba, do you think that a Dish 500 will be able to get the satellite 110. I have done some research here in the island and they say that I have to use a bigger antenna.

[tommyj12]

just getting started here but that was one of my first questions. thanks for the info.
