As a new in this area, seems to me that I am filled with a lot of questions.
I have one DSS Dual LNB with input frequency 12.2-12.7GHz and am pointing at 110 watching only these channels. Is it possible that using the same LNB with 18" dish to get the 119? If yes, what is the connection diagram from the LNB to the receiver (the LNB has two outputs!!)? Do I have to readjust the angle of the dish? Do I have to change the setting from the receiver as well and rescan both satellites in the same time?
I appreciate your reading and your assistance if any.
Thank you in advance.

If you don’t have it already you might also think about also setting up for the satellite at 110W, 110W and 119W are companion satellites, the channels are distributed between them.
You would need a second LNB (like the one you have now) or a DP twin LNB, it will receive both satellites at once.

The only way to get both 110 & 119 with the same LNB would be to add a motor to your set-up. However a Dish500 setup as Terryl described would be prefered as switching channels between the 2 sats would be instant. The dish of a Dish500 set-up skews to allow reception of both sats when you use a Twin or Quad LNB in conjunction.

Thank you for answering.
Adding one LNB would be the best. But how am i going to attach the second one to the first. Is there any special bracket for this that holds both LNBs?

I found one. After installation, do I have to change the angle of the dish or use the same angle?

"Magic Bracket" is 1 option. An "Offset Bracket" is another option. You can also make your own bracket as I did - this one is 119/110 on a 30"dish:

Where did you find this? I googled and didn't find one.
