I put the splitter on the C-band and ran both lines to the 4x4 switch. I then hooked both lines from the KU Dual to the other side of the 4x4 switch.

I received the 4x4 switch and the dual output KU LNB today and just finished setting it up. It works great! Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!

Thanks for feedback, it looks like I have three options. 1. Bandstacked approach - I would need to purchase a bandstacked C-band LNB (about $39), a bandstacked KU LNB (about $25) and a 2x4 or 3x4 multiswitch (about $25), for total of about $89. 2. 4x4 or 5x4 multiswitch - I would need to...

C-band dish is aimed at EchoStar 9/Galaxy 23 at 121 and the channels are 3777 H and 3900 V. KU dish is aimed at SatMex 6 at 113 W and the channels are 12080 H, 12084 V and 12090 V. The V channels are the ones I'm most interested in on both dishes and I can live without the H channels...

Thanks. Both the KU and C-band dishes are fixed. If I need to get dual LNBs to make it work, any suggestions on which to get for both dishes?

I have two dishes and two receivers and need to know what kind of switch I should purchase so I can get channels from both dishes on both receivers. After reading the Switch setups simplified thread, it appears that I should get a 4x4 multiswitch. Will a 4x4 multiswitch work even if I do not...

Am I entering the correct numbers for BYU TV on Satmex 5? From Lyngsat I get the following: Frequency: 12163 Symbol Rate: 3935 Polarization: H Those are the only numbers I can enter into my Traxis DBS 2500. If I were able to get a signal and scan in the channel, then I would...

I don't get a signal at all. The quality bar reads 0% (which I think means there is no signal). For the other channels on Satmex 5, the quality bar reads above 60%. Current Setup -30" Dish (I inherited the dish and am not sure of the type, it only has Chinese characters written on it that...

Thanks for the replies! It appears that everyone can get the signal (and only Iceberg in MN has a marginal signal) so it must be something with my set up. I am near Salt Lake City, UT and would expect a signal similar to kurtsat's signal in Sacramento (my other Satmex 5 channels are above...

I am fairly inexperienced with satellites and this is my first post. I am unable to get any signal for BYU TV (12163H) on Satmex 5. I am able to get many channels on other satellites, and also can get other channels on Satmex 5 (the 12080H series of MAC TV, Da-Ai Tv, etc.). Any ideas on...
