Single 2 Sat lnb question ??

[reels]

If I set up 2 lnbs, one for 118 & 119 the other for 82 & 91 and 129 running straight to
the diseqc ,do I need sw21 switches for each of the other 2 running to the diseqc
switch ?? Or can the reciever switch between the 118 & 119 and also the 82 & 91.
Hope this question makes sense lol !!

No you will need a DiSEqC switch of some sort; this is the only way the receiver can switch between satellites.

You also need a single LNB for each satellite, or a DP twin for the 82/91 satellites, and the special LNB for 118/119 and 1 each for 110 and 129, most FTA receivers cant handle all the LNB’s at once, this is due to the power limitations of the receiver.

So you would need one 4 port DiSEqC switch and a 22 KHz switch, this would give you the 5 inputs you will need for the 82, 91, 110, 118/119 and 129 satellites, you will also need 2 dishes as one dish will not pick up all these satellites at once.

A powered switch would help with the power requirements.

Thanks for feedback,I have a dish with 110 & 119 locked together with a 110..119 bracket picking up both.Was given a channel master 60 E
32x18" dish. The plan was to leave the 110 lnb on the small dish and put the single 118..119 lnb and the 129 lnb plus the single 82..91 lnb on the larger dish.I have a 4 port DiSEqC switch.Do you still think I need the 22KHz switch ?If not it would still be a good idea to help with the power requirements.Again much thanks for your input.

I think I got it. I need a 22KHz switch for the single 118..119 lnb also one for the single 82..91 single lnb, both of them running to different ports on the 4 port Diseqc switch including the 129 lnb, with the cables running from the lnbs to the 22KHz switches to the Diseqc ports where the reciever can switch on & off between the 118..119 ect. Have I got that right ?? Thanks in advance for your input, much appreciated.

You don't need an extra switch for 119/118. Even though there are two satellites, the same lnb is looking at them. The settings in the receiver will scan each satellite separately on the same port when you scan.

And I thought I had it duuuuh!! Thanks a mill, saved the cost of those extra switches
