    Help with 97w & 101w

    ADVERTS
    I have a 36" locked on 97w with a dual lnb.
    Thinking to add an old universal "seesat" lnb for 101w without moving the dish.
    Is it doable?

    yes
    Many folks have done that. Just make sure the 2nd LNB is to the left of the 1st one when you stand in front of the dish facing it. When you work with multiple LNB's they go opposite of how they are in the sky

    see attached pic of a dish setup I had

    For 4 deg spacing on a 36" dish will probably require the use of two 40 mm diameter (feed horn) LNBs. You can buy small ones from SatelliteAV. The focal points at 4 degree spacing usually won't allow the use of larger LNBs.

    Thanks Iceberg. I had a good feeling about it, but better check with pros before do the work.

    The feed horn on your old LNB feed horn maybe to large to work with your dish.
