| | | 72 v110 question
My vip211 receiver at home is set to receive on the eastern arc. (sat. 72 etc)
I was just given a dish with LNB's for 110 and 119 I would like to use in my RV.
Can I use this setup in my RV and set the receiver to accept 110 and 119 or will I need to buy a dish for the eastern arc?
The dish I was given is a 500 if that matters.
I'm in central PA.

It will work, but you won't have a lot of HD channels.

Perform a Check Switch at menu-6-1-1 each time you move the receiver to the other dish.

You can use the Dish 500 you were given to view any 2 Dish satellites that are approximately 10 degrees apart, 110 and 119, 119 and 129, even 61.5 and 72.
The 119/129 and 61.5/72 combos will get you the most HD because the primary HD satellites are 129 and 61.5.
And remember that check switch.

And remember that check switch. | Would the skew settings stay the same if you were using a dish 500 to hit 61.5 and 72?

| | | another newbie question
With the dual head lnb do I need an SW21?
The lnb head has a connection marked 110 and a seperate one marked 119. As given to me, there is only one cable coming off of the 119 port.
I ran the existing cable to the receiver but can not tune in both satellites.
