you need a dish with 3 lnb,s

You can use your bell dish with 2 lnbs for 119 and 110.

Looks like this

24868

Then if you want HD you will need 3 LNBS to get 119, 110, 129 and you can modify the dish.

Look like this

24869

No problem setting up 4 LNBs on an oval dish. The picture can be setup for 91, 110, 119 and 12924870

Can get a eliptical dish with 3 LNBS and Bracket for cheap..

I would first take a look to see if you can get 129 at your location, 129 has a funny footprint (it's coverage area) and not all locations can properly receive it on the same dish, I almost live right under that bird but have to use a separate larger dish for 129.

Take a look at the link below, it has an active footprint map for 129 (use the CONUS beam as the one for Canada is not active) zoom into your location where the dish will be mounted and click on it, this will give you an idea on what size dish would be needed at your location.

Select the CONUS beam in the pink area at the top of the page.

Had a look and it tells me a 18 in or 48cm would work

You can use a eliptical dish to 3 lnbs and did you get my pm?

[Terryl]

You can use a Dish 1000.2, but you will need a DP 44 power inserter (no not the switch, just it's power inserter) to run it.

It's all setup for the correct spacing between satellites, and it's a skew-able dish.

It has an internal switch so all you do is connect the coax for the FTA receiver to the #2 port on the LNB and run one coax for the DP power inserter to the #1 port on the LNB and set your Diseqc switches to.

Diseqc port #1 = 119, port #2 = 110 and port #3 = 129
