Post Number: 90 Registered: Dec-06 | you need to have dual lnbs, these are standard lnbs with 2 outputs, then u need to buy two switches called "Multi switch" and 4 "diseqc" switches here's a pic of multi switch: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/7492/multiswitch2bigxt9.gif u need to connect both outputs of ur 110 lnb to the first multiswitch and both outputs of 119 lnb to the 2nd one. then connect the first out put of each multi switch to a port of a diseqc switch, now you connect the out put of the diseqc switch to ur first receiver, do this for all 4 receivers and adjust ur dish settings, good luck, |

Simplest thing to do. No need for switches unless you intend to add more sats or more then 4 receivers.  |

Silver Member Username: SatscannerBeaversbush, Sportsmans P... Great White ... Post Number: 660 Registered: Nov-06 | PRFRMNJ,didn't even think of that route,But don't some receivers have performance issues with it?Especially when multiple receivers are used. |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 1141 Registered: Oct-05 | Sat - The issue is when you use a DishProPlus. That LNB is not FTA Friendly. This is one of the most easy to use LNBs. I actually have one connected to 4 (stbs) One in the Living Room Viewsat Ext/ One bedroom Viewsat Platinum; Fortec and Pansat in the other two bedrooms. Never had a problem. |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 1142 Registered: Oct-05 | Why would you use a disecq if you have a dishpro quad. you don't need a switch. This LNB has a buildt in switch. Take one coax and go directly into your STB. |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 6875 Registered: Jan-06 | Guest...U need to explain what dishes, LNB's, sats,receivers, settings ect...we don't need to be playing guessing games all day.. |
|
New member Username: Guest6306Pickerington, Ohio USA Post Number: 4 Registered: Jan-07 | LK- DishPro Quad LNB, Dish 300 Legacy LNB, Fortec Ultra. To connect these you will need DisEQ switch, right? |
|
Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 6877 Registered: Jan-06 | yes, if ONLY 1 receiver and since the 300 is a legacy and a single, and NOT a dual legacy or DP.. |

PRFRMNJ, In tread 119 HARD TO GET, I have explained about DP Twin and problems scanning with Pansat 2700, I am sure that there would be a problem with Quad DP LNBF also, if someone has experienced that problem please let us know what you think and is there solution to this problem, My problem is that only signal from one Satellite gets scanned and what ever you would try to get the other sat, it gets the same one and you get double channels double numbers. But when I use 2 LNBF's and DiseqC switch I can scan both satellites just to be sure I disconnect one cable just to be sure not to scan wrong channels. |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 6912 Registered: Jan-06 | The DP twin is the easiest LNB to use...just aim it and scan!...both sats ( either 82-91 or 110-119) on 1 cable...the 2 outputs are ONLY for 2 receivers! ...same thing for the DP quad, exceptt 4 outputs for 4 receivers If U only get 1 satellite after scanning BOTH satellites, and get duplicates, then U have either.. 1...bad LNB 2...bad cable 3...bad dish alignment 4...incorrect antenna/dish settings in receiver BUT I will say 99.9% that its your Dish alignment Its that simple! |
