    dual output c-band lnb to multiple receivers?

    I do a search, it look like to share a C-band reception to multiple receiver, you should have a 2 output lnb, then a sw43... I have BSC621-2 (C and Universal KU-band) LNB, any recommendation for a dual output LNB to replace it? Thanks

    According to http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistKuBandUS.html, that tp exists, but I tried my best, can't find it They I went to lyngst, that TP is not there, can someone with bigger dish take a look (I used a 30' dish), is it exist or not?

    EchoStar 9/Galaxy 23 at 121.0°W --Can't get 2 TPS

    So I has fortec 1.8 Meter prime focus dish, and BSC621-2 lnb... I was able to lock most of the TP on 121W except for 3900V, I tried my best to lock it, but the quality at most stopped at 20... So my question is what else I can do to lock it?
