oval dish

[shocker]

I have yet another question involving D****. My locals are on the 72.5 satelitte. Is it possible to use just one dish (the oval dish) to recieve programming from the 72.5 and the 101? Is there any prgramming on 110 and 119 that i abousletly need? I would like to get by with only one dish (18x20) instead two dishes(the 18" dish as well as the 18x20)

You don't have to have the triple sat Phase II dish for the 72.5. However, you will need 2 18" dishes and either a 4x4 multiswitch or a 22khz tone switch similar to an E* SW21 to tie the sats together. So far as I know, there isn't a dish available with that much seperation other than a torridial dish.

Nasa, foreign programing and other locals (not yours) are on 119. 110 has high definition channels.

You do need two round dishes and a 4x4 switch. Both dishes should have two dual lnbs. The 4x4 switch has four feeds to the receivers.

Is that 4x4 switch for a one reciever system or two?

NASA is on 101 satellite. :)

Sorry, I stand corrected. For years, it was at 119.
