Was wondering if my friend can use his existing bell dish that he has a monthly subscription to (with a subscribed receiver) and run another cable from that dish (using the other coax from the lnb) to put the nanosat using a p$ server on it in a different room? Will Bell know that he is using the dish for another receiver?
Just wanted to ask if anyone has done this with or without any probs.....
Thanks

Hey Glatt.....if you done this before, have you run into a bell plus dish? It has 82/91 lnbs and only 1 cable coming out. Then you have to put a switch...(like an sw-21) and from the switch, one cable plugs into the 91 on the subbed receiver and the other goes into the 82 of the subbed receiver. It wouldn't work going straight from the bell dish to the diseq as it has 82/91 and don't think the port (we usd port 4) can tell the difference.
My question is.....Is there a way to make it work without unhooking the lnbs from the bell dish and running straight to the 91 coax port?

We didn't use one.....When we had diseq 1 on 119......diseq 2 on 110 and diseq on 4 91 we got 90% signal and no quality but 110/119 worked. When we ran 91 straight from the dish to the receiver, it worked. I assumed it was something to do with the subbed receiver line in from the dish has a switch going into the subbed receiver for 82 and 91.
