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

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



or like this...

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

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.
