How to hook up Elite to 91, 110, 119 w/ 2 tuners

[greenman1313]

Hello everyone. First time caller, long time listener, yadda yadda. Anywho, I have some questions for you, and I tried searching around a bit, and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for (succinctly). Here goes...



I just ordered a 360 Elite system from a website, which includes a 24in elliptical dish, 3 dual circular LNBs, the 360 Elite, and a 4x1 DiSEqC switch. I want to have true two tuner capabilities with this stuff. My questions are:

1) What is the easiest way to wire this up to have true two tuner capability? Would I need to use two of the 4x1 DiSEqC switches with one cable going from each of the three LNBs into the switch, and a coax going from the switch into the receiver?

2) Do both coax outlets (for lack of a better term) on each LNB provide the same signal, or are they differing in polarity, etc? If they do NOT give the same output, how does this work out into my three ********** two tuner requirement? Would I need a different switch such as a 6x8 multi switch?

3) How do I go about loading the bins into the receiver to get programming from B3V and Charlie? I believe I read somewhere that one bin file can utilize both?



Thanks alot in advance guys, and gals. I can't wait to get this stuff hooked up next week!

That sounds exactly right. Don't forget to ground everything for safety.

Unless your LNB's are something weird, each of the pairs of outputs should provide identical signal.

Loading the latest bin should take care of both.

I currently have a somewhat similar setup on my Elite and I am extremely happy. Hope the adventure of the setup and the satisfaction of the result are both good.

Did you read Arb's post on setup??
