4 sat with superdish You can do it with a DP21 switch. Cascade it to the DP34 just like a SW21 and a SW64. Lots cheaper than a DPP44.

This thread is the very reason I am no longer an installer. It takes time to do a good survey and an install that is satisfactory. One common problem with superdishes is incorrect skew. Another is the weak signal of the 105 dish. I did several reinstalls for systems installed when there was...

Primestar on 61.5 You don't mention what type of system you have, DP or legacy. Primestar used the FSS band which is 105/121. 61.5 is DBS band. Just get any dual lnb with same characteristics as present setup, and aim it using angles on set up page.
