I just got a 18 inch round dual LNB dish as a hand me down. I was thinking of installing it and pointing it at 119 to get NASA and provide for a potentail update for HD in a year or two. Is this reasonable to do? Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram of just such a set up?


thanks

That's a simple install you will need 2 dual LNBFs 1 for 101 and 1 for 119. You will also need a 4X4 or 5X4 multiswitch to connect both dishes to the receiver(s). If your receivers are not Directv-plus call Directv to get an upgrade.

thanks,

I was just worried that I needed some kinda special multiswitch, so any 4x4 wil do?

I only have one reciever and its new this year.
