You got a 5" compact disc or what kind of disc?

I think what you meant:
PPV plus premium American channels 119/110
Simple get a 20" dish 500 with twin LNB

But You also got international on 61.5
Simple
Get a 4 input switch DISEqC switch
Connect all 3 Sats on 3-input DISEqC

But to do all with 2 receivers
Your LNBs must have 2 outlets each
total 3 LNBs/3 Sats 2-input per LNB
2-DISEqC switch 1- to each room

I hope this helps

disc = dish..

Keeping the dish aimed at 61.5 satellite for the international channels makes things more difficult but not a real problem..

First, your present LNB on the present 61.5 dish MUST have 2 outputs (thats called a DUAL LNB), or U cannot use it for 2 receivers..if only 1 output, then U can ONLY use it for 1 receiver

Buy a used 2nd dish with a Dish Pro (DP) Twin LNB (has 2 outputs AND receives 2 satellites, Dishnet (DN)110-119 or Bev 82-91) mounted on it..

Now U will need 2 disque switches...Run 1 cable from BOTH Dishes to EACH disque switch...then run a cable from each disque switch to each receiver..U must input the cables into the ports of EACH switch EXACTLY as listed below..

Then in BOTH your receivers U must setup the antenna/LNB/dish settings to

119-disque port #1 (DP LNB)...110-#2 (DP LNB)...61.5- #3 (standard LNB)

frequency -11250

perform scans of each satellite, upload latest bin,input latest keys ...watch TV..

Thats entirely up to U..U must aim/align the dish and LNBs correctly at the sats U want to catch their signals....some people can just aim it using nothing but instinct and logic, some use a compass, some use sat finders..there are thousands of dish pointing guides, calculators and tips posted here and other satellite forums..

is this some game, asking these questions?...are U goofing on me?...These can't be serious..

twin LNB?...do I need a sat finder?
