Dish question - ABA DSS

Afghan Soldier · February 29th, 2008

Ok i have bev 82 right now and i was wondering if i get a dish with 3 lnbs would i be able to get 110, 119 and bev 82? That way instead of having 2 dishes i can just have 1.

i think you would need a 5 lnb dish that does not use 101 in the center.
that way you could get 82 thru 119
otherwise 2 is easier also.

what dish do u have now. i would just get a dtv dish for 82 and dish 500 for 110, 119 that would be easier.

I have the Bell Expressvu dish right now with 1 LNB. The reason im asking is because i don't want to clog up my balcony because the place im moving too next month, is half the size of what i have right now, so i don't want to clog it up. But from what you guys have said, my best bet would be too have 2 different dishes.

you can also get an eliptical dish and multiple sat bracket for those sats too. thanks to apocalypse for the help!!

with an 18x24 elliptical dish and 5 LNB yoke (around $20) you can get all 4 birds.
However the Quality will be really strong on 119W and weaker on the lower birds. the quality for 82W will be between mid 60s to mid 70s the most.
These are a little challenging to setup. If you can get two dish 500 I would go with that, very easy to setup and aim, and the quality will be identical on all 4 birds.

Here is the 5 LNB yoke:

119W-110W--none--91W--82W

I agree. After all this is testing too. So don't give up and give in to 2 dishes. Look for an eliptical dish with a 5 bracket lnb holder. You don't need to have 5 lnbs, just the ones you want and leave the others blank. So to get 82, 110 and 119, you would mount the LNBs like this - 82, blank, blank, 110, 119. You can replace the first blank with 91 if you want both 82 and 91.
