The easyies way is to point your dish to echo8 110 first then adjust adjust 119. 110 is alot easier to find then 119 is.

Chip a Diseqc switch is a little box like a splitter. This box switch different Port as different LNB
You need to program in Satellite Menu the good Port for each LNB you have

Example: Port1 for 110W Port2 for 119W

You put RG-6 from receiver in switch input and port1 in Lnb from 110W, port2 in LNB from 119W
You can put the switch on roof just put in plastic
container.
Note this switch is powered by receiver
no need to power it
Thanks

If your lnb is two in one casing called a twin the switch is built in and only one wire is needed with settings diseq port1 for 119 port2 for 110.
