Can I use this dish on my Dreamlink HD?
What dish setting would I use to use all three LNB's with one coax?

yes, that's a 1000.4 Western Arc Dish for 110, 119 and 129. you can use it

LNB Type: OCS-DP

119: Diseqc 1.0 port 1
110: Diseqc 1.0 port 2
129: Diseqc 1.0 port 3

you will want need an additional power source for that power hog of an LNB. If you have other receivers, those will provide the additional power (don't worry, you don't have to scan on them or servers for them, just have them connected and plugged into an electric supply).

How would I go about adding more power to the LNB without a second box hooked to it?

Use a DPP 44 switches power inserter, (you don't need the switch, just it's power supply) its the only one that is compatible to that LNB.

And adding recivers to this LNB will not increese the DC current to it, only one receiver will power the LNB and that's the one with the highest DC voltage output from the LNB input connection.

And old Dish 311 receiver (it does not have to activated) will power this LNB also, but it has to be on port #1 of the LNB, the same with the DC power inserter, also some receivers will not work too good with the DC power inserter inline with them, the DC power inserter will add 3 to 6 dB of insertion loss to the system this can cause all sorts of problems.

So the DC power inserter should be on it's own coax run to the #1 port on the LNB, the #2 and #3 ports on the LNB will run your receiver just fine after that.

Please excuse my ignorance, but, why do you need more power to the LNB's? Would it improve the signal collection? Get more stations? Both? I have 2 sat's, 3 LNB's on both DISEQ Switchs, great picture on them but at times not so great. Is it advantages to add an in-line power inserter, if the cost is low?
