Is it a dual eye LNB? If so then yes a single run of coax from the first "F" connector on the right (looking from the front of the dish) will work fine, however two coaxes would be better if the receiver has a dual input.

yes it is a duel eye ,i thought there was not enough power to activate the switch in the lnb.so when pointing the dish do i need to find the 82 signal first or 91 signal.

In dish pointing menu/heading (receiver) you should see 2-locations listed one for 91 one for 82
Setup on 91 first on a strong Transponder # signal where it gives green bars & says locked
then move/select the 82 location and again select a strong transponder # signal where it gives green bars & says locked
depending on the type of Dish you have (20" rotating) it is just a matter of rotating/twisting the dish a few degrees left or right
for your location. For pointing dish, go to dishpointer dot com and fill in the info it asks for dish & location etc.
it will give you the info where to point your dish from your location, including a line of sight bar/beam where to point.

i thought with a dpplus lnb you did not have to scew.

of course you need to skew as they're at different elevations

you will still have to Tweek the dish for maximum signal for both sats 91/82, depending on your location
and what kind of dish setup you have, one of the sats (91 I believe) has a lower position in the sky etc.
go to dishpointer site, input the info for dish & your location and it will give & show you where to point the dish
for the setup you have etc. The signal coming to your dish/LNB etc. crosses over for each sat. position it doesn't
come straight in to the LNB.

Run test switch first and save, then try aligning dish.
