**kathleen34** · February 28th, 2008

Hello everyone... Not sure if I am posting in right site, but please bear with me. Would like to know were to find a triple lnb to get 91 w, 110w and 119w(If there is such an lnb) Any help would be be appreciated.

Thanks

A elliptical dish with an adapter bracket will work.

they make elipticle dishes with multiple lnb's on them, anywhere from 3 to 5 seperate lnb's. take time to set up correctly to get good signal on all

these brackets are available on the sponsor sites you see on this site or you could google fta brackets or whatever to find what you need. good luck

PS- personally I have found that 3 seperate dishes and lnb's offer an easier setup and better quality setting but that is totally up to you.

To get the three satellites you listed would require an elliptical dish if you want to obtain acceptable quality but, as already mentioned, the proper alignment of the dish and LNBs is a bit tricky. If you can accommodate two dishes on your property, you would probably be better off using a Dish 500 with a DP Twin LNB (110/119) and a separate dish with a single DP LNB (for 91). The two dishes can easily be connected together using an SW21 or 22KHz switch.

true but you can also use a dish 500 with dp twin lnb with and a dtv dish with legacy lnb and connect to a diseq switch. alot cheaper.

Actually, it's only slightly cheaper because the cost difference between a 22KHz switch and DiSEqC is only about $10 (there is not much cost difference between an 18" dish with a legacy LNB or one with a single DP LNB). Also, a DP Twin already has a built-in DiSEqC switch. The advantage to sticking with DP LNBs (one twin and one single) is that they offer future expansion because the two can be connected to either a DP34 or a DPP44 switch. Neither of those switches allow you to mix DP LNBs with Legacy LNBs. Since one never knows what the future holds...

Here is the ideal setup for you (and best of all, no dish motor required) get yourself:

1 - 18" x 24" Eliptical Dish
4 - Dual LNB's
1 - 5 port LNB Mount/Yoke
1 - Disc Switch (4 in /1 Out)

Some Sat Cable and some connectors.

Arrange and mount the LNB's on the pre-engineered 5 point Yoke (see photo) so that the 101W LNB area is not populated (i.e., is empty) then mount the 4 LNB's, in their respective places.

You'll be able to scan 91W, 82W, 110W and 119W without having to move the dish at all (no motor).

Once you lock onto 91W the others are automatically 99% there.

Hope that helps.

great to hear. enjoy!! dont be afraid to ask question cause we like to answer.

**kathleen34** · February 29th, 2008

Just another quick question... Will a starchoice elipitcal dish work for this set up also?

**boboisno1** · February 29th, 2008

It's iffy if the dish will work but the lnbs will definately not work for 82,91,110,119.
