luis give more info to help you.what sat box.you can get a dish pro lnb which allows you to get both 110 and 119 with no need of adding any disque switch, will allow you to connect more than one receiver.when you get the antenna go to this site to angle your antenna easily.http://satcalculator.freehostia.com/

luis the more sats you add the more channel. with 110 and 119 you can get around 400-600 channels on dishnet.the picture on my post is good enough to get you both 110/119.give me you email and i can give info on a store near you to pick up what ever u need.

luis the four output on the lnb allows you to connect up to four receivers.each output goes to a different receiver.when you have single lnb you must run a disque switch to control them.this dual lnb comes with a switch inside already.

remember luis to run the cables to the switch from the same side of lnbs. left side from both lnb to switch or right side from both lnb to switch.

remember that sat 119 goes in #1 and 110 goes on #2.
looking behind the dish 110 is on the right and 119 is on the left.

Luis, you and RTAP are correct.
He is looking from behind the Dish.
You were looking from behind the LNB's
He was looking toward South.
You was looking toward North.
