Right now I have a Bev dish with 1 lnb. I have it set up to receive 91. If Bev is down for quite a while I usually end up going out and moving the dish over to 119. when the fix comes out I change it back to 91.

With so many EMCs going on its getting annoying changing it back and forth. I was wondering how hard it is to set up an 24x18 Elliptical dish with 3 lnb to receive 91,110,119.

I not even supposed to have any dish because of condo rules and would rather not have 2 dishes up but I guess if I have to I will.

First off No one in the USA can EVER tell you to not put up a dish. Not a landlord, a neighbor, or a association.

The only satellites I know I can get are BEV and DN. I didnt think I couldn't get any others. I guess they are the foreign ones. I don't think I'd want them anyways. Is there really any good programming on them?

I was considering getting a motor, but I was reading they aren't very good in cold weather and well I live in Canada.. it tends to get cold up here. Also, I was thinking if the motor points to 91 I wouldn't be able to see the guide for 119 until I move the motor again. Just sounds like a pain. I like to channel surf and Id want to know whats on and not have to keep moving it and then downloading the guide.

Actually I just realized a motor is not an option anyways. I'm sharing my dish with my nextdoor neighbor. I guess they wouldn't appreciate me moving it on them when they are watching a show. lol

So I guess if you say it's really hard to set up an elliptical, I should just buy another bev dish with 2 lnbs. That would be the easiest way I think and it will only cost me $50. What kind of switch should I use? Is the ones that came with the ViewSat receivers ok?

Thanks.

Yes use the switch you have. Yes that dish would be good for you with your sharing situation.

DTV phase III can let yo get all 3
But will take yo all day
And yo must be an expert

- Yo point DTV Phase III to 101
- Yo'll catch 91 and 110 with 2 side LNBs
- Middle LNB is usless
- Yo add a fourth legacy LNB for 119

Not for a newbie but can be done

TESTER on all your post you keep saying that you are using Invacom (QTH-031) and Scan in 2,500channels. How can that be possible?
This Invacom (QTH-031) does not have Circular Polarization only Linear.
Local Oscillator Frequency
LOW (9.75 GHz)
High (10.6 GHz)

It can do both circular and linear. That is what the C and L outputs are for.

YES the Invacom that is marked C L C L is used for both, Circular and linear Polarization.
C stands for Circular and L stands for Linear.
The LNB, the large one that is marked with the letters C L C L on the left side is a

the small one on the bottom right is a
Invacom Q(T)H-031 only used for Linear Polarization

Tester, I am glad that you have seen you mistake.But it was not only just a typo.
If you have the Invacom QPH-031 then why in all your post you show a picture of the QTH -031?
I would say there is a big difference between the 2
