Hi Guys:
I have a question. I have a dish 500 with 119 and 110>then I have a second antenna with a single lnb. How I conect the two antennas? I tryied a diplexer but it cancel 110 trying to get 129,119 and 110. What switch I need? Thanks

**Apocalypse_67** · February 10th, 2008

You'll need a 4x1 diseqc switch. Depending on your LNBs, your setup should look something like this....

or like this...

Hello, I am in northern Ontario, Canada. Can anyone tell me how tp pick up international Channel? what woud be the setting and The location? What kind dish I should use?
Thanks a million.

I have this set up
Plus Dish 500+/1000+
Same as the Dish 1000 in function but about 5" larger and can pick up the 118.75° FSS location. As a 500+ it picks up 110°, 118.75° and 119°. Adding an LNB for 129° makes it a 1000+.

with an sv4000. What are the settings on the receiver supposed to be?
Thanks in advance for all help.
TJ

Superdish 105

Superdish105 has 2 separate LNB’s, one LNB is a combo for 110/105 the other is for 119 only.
You use a DP34 switch to combine these LNB’s.

How you connect the cables from the LNB’s to the DP34 switch determines your Diseqc settings.

Darn, I wish I read this before. I purchased a dish 1000.2, should be gotton a superdish. oh well.

telecom-techno · August 5th, 2008

Storman666 -

I have an elliptical DirectTV dish ( about 30" wide) with 5 LNBs. From what you're saying...I should point the dish toward 91W satellite -- to get the rest of the satellite altogether? Thanks for the info.

**jmcman** · March 1st, 2009

i just got a superdish 121 could it be used to get 110,119,and 129 ,,useing a sonicview 360 premier .if so what is needed

DishCharlie · March 2nd, 2009

The DN Superdish121 was designed to receive 110-119-121W sats. There isn't much on 121W these days, so updating the LNBF assembly with the DN148328 Repoint Kit ($50-70 eBy) will modify the dish to receive 110-118.7-119-129W. A 4-input DiSEqC switch works fine if you have only 1 receiver.

Note: 1) The Repoint Kit will not fit the arm of the fiberglass version of this dish. 2) The dish will be HD ready with 129W capability, but the SV360 is SD only. 3) Other creative aftermarket alternatives are available, this is the setup I use.

**wgknappy023** · March 2nd, 2009

Just a quick note from an FTA NWB, DTV dishes work just as well as DN dish set ups do. With a little of modifications and changing out the LNB's of course. Have used this setup several times with great success. Means if you already have a DTV dish setup you don't have to purchase a new DN dish or mount it!! Just my 2 cents on the deal!!!!

harryt · March 2nd, 2009

Welcome to the site...Glad to help!!!

First what LNBs do you have?? You will not be able to pick up the DTV birds using FTA equipment. You can certainly pick up charlie and others... FYI if you are looking to just get 110 & 119 then you will want to go with wither a DPP twin or quad. These will give you the most basic setup with little mods. These can be picked up on EBY for under $25.

harryt · March 2nd, 2009

Hey thanks,I have round 2 lnbs,101 &95 satelite,not sure if it's compatible with cs5000

What birds are you after?? If you are after DN channels then i would pick up a DP Twin or Quad dual LNB. You can get them on EBY for about $25. My current setup using a DTV elliptical dish yields me 700+ channels, & 150+ music channels by just looking at 110 & 119.

alden168 · March 4th, 2009

Very good info so you wont get tricked by installer, just like me got fooled by seller and installer

**benjya58** · March 7th, 2009

I have a dish 1000 for sat110 and 119 can i add a dish 500 to get sat118

**wgknappy023** · March 10th, 2009

Sorry for the delay in response i was out of town. You should not need another dish. What LNB do you have?? If it is a DPP twin it should have an input port to add another LNB. If not a circular LNB and a switch will get you what you want. Not the mounting of this third LNB is the only thing you have to worry about. You should be able to find a bracket for mounting from one of the site sponsors here on ABADSS.com, or one might be found on EBY. Positioning your 118 LNB will depend on your current LNB.

**benjya58** · March 11th, 2009

I have a 3 dpp lnbs for 119,110 and 129
