Has anyone in PR tested a DPP Twin LNB with a 4/5 feet antenna?
ADVERTS 1
I'm talking about
this LNB
. I know the new antenna used in PR uses something like that (2 lnbs in the same antenna) but I think the antenna is too small (I live in Bayamon and it's always raining). So has anyone experimented with it?
Right now I have a 6' channelmaster and a 5' metal antenna (dont know maker). I'm just checking to see if I can get rid of the channelmaster, leave the 5' with new DPP lnb for 110/119 so I can get the hopper later.

Don't know abt the big one...but the new small antenna with dp lnb works great for me & I am in Bayamon also. Signal loss only during heavy rain.

Proud Staff Memberwont work. The larger dishes have a different focal distance spot than the stock dish. That wont even work on the new "Puerto Rico Dish 500" because the LNB spacing is different (there is a gap between the LNB's)
you'll get one satellite but not both.Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

You can still use the hopper w/ 2 DP LNB's. Just run them into a DPP switch (DPP 33 or DPP 44)
So, 2 antennas, each with a DP Single LNB to the switch then off the switch to the node.
