I picked up a Dire...tv Multi Satellite dish with 3 lnb's on it The LNB head is labeled:

Sharp Triple Feed Multi-Satellite LNB
Built In multi-switch with 4 outputs
Compatible with dire.....tv
Phase III 18"X20" Dish Antenna

Can I use this with my Jynx Ultra HD to receive 110, 119, and 129? What dish type do I select in the setup ?

Thanks

No, that setup will not work very good for those satellites, and the Jynx Ultra will not have enough DC current to run the 3 LNB's

It will work for 110 and 119 but not too good for 129.

It's setup for 101, 110 and 119, so the spacing on the LNB's is a bit off.

Thanks for the information. I am trying to simplify from 2 dishes to a single triple feed dish. I have a Dish Turbo HD, with no LNBs. Maybe I can come up with some old singe LNBs and mount them on the Dish Turbo arm.

DP LNBFs are cheap on ebay, you can get a 1000.2 for about $20.00 shipped, or you might look for one at your local flea market.

Or get 3 of the DPP dual LNB's,(don't get the old legacy type) with the 3 single DPP LNB's and a Diseqc switch your set, this way you don't need an extra DP power supply to run the three headed power hog from dish.

Does that mean that I can connect 3 Dish Pro single LNBs together with my diseqc because they don't have an internal switch? Does the Dish Pro Plus have an internal switch that is intended for the outboard single DP LNB?

Thanks for the tutorial

Yes 3 DP single LNB's will work fine on 90% of the Diseqc switches out there, they do not have an internal switch.

And the DP Pro LNB with the second LNB input, with a LNB attached will put you over budget on the DC current, this will affect your FTA receiver.

Go with the first option.
