So far I got Digital Silver (all channels plus 1 premium package) with DVR/HDTV and HSI (High Speed Internet) for $79.99 for one year plus $100 cash towards the next 2 bills and $25 BestBuy gift card and free install. Total coming out to be $71.65/month (without gift card). Pretty good deal I...

Well, I am an owner of the condo. The condo has a patio on the back with 6' tall fence. Before I went into any satellite installing, I made sure (FCC) that I can do that. Even though my association prohibits having satellite dishes I just could not stand looking at Comcast on my $5000 TV so...

I just double checke AGAIN ;) I get perfect signal on DishNet (much much better then after the PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION - 90-107) and OK signal on VOOM at 81-82 Voom - even transponder Dish - odd transponders and even transponders I just fixed it. The coax connector was bad. I changed...

A lot of good info. Thanks. Now: The cables lenght are about 60 feet (Voom and DishNet) I receive Voom at 81 signal strenght OK (not perfect - because I get some pixalation) I can not get even transponder on DishNet using the Voom's cable (when testing) - even though as you mentioned Voom...

I just double checked and I only receive signal on the odd transponders.

Nothing. Just the cable straight from the output on the LNB.

I think I just found the answer! Why do you need dual LNBs to use the SW64 and SW44 with only one receiver? Because the SW64 and SW44 "hardwire" the polarization for half the dual LNB to right hand, and left hand for the other half. The switch then selects between the two LNBs...

Kind of confusing. So, there is no way to receive Voom and all of the transponders on DishNet on one satellite dish with dual LNB?

Yes, but somehow I get only odd transponders on 61.5 (DishNet) and can not access some of the channels. Do you know what is causing the problem? Don't I need Multi-Switch so the switch switches the voltage in order to get both even and odd tranponders?

Well, do I need to have some type of switch or I can just run one cable straight to the Voom STB and the other one straight to the Dish Network STB?

Thanks so much. I'll post here if I have any more questions after the install is done. Thanks again!

That means that once you get the signal on 61.5 then you got both Dish and Voom satellites right?

Well, after doing some research I found out that in fact both satellites are at 61.5 but they are 2 different satellites - Rainbow1 and Echostar. Will that Voom dual LNB be capable of picking up both of them?

Thanks al! Great news. Yes bcshields, the STB was bad. I should have the bigger dish and new STB tomorrow.

Thanks al and all, One more question - will it work with DishPro receiver such as DP301?

The LNB is dual LNB and the Dish and Voom's satellite is .. well the same satellite - 61.5 Thanks for all the replies. I'm getting 30" Voom dish as I had so little signal the installer could not activate the service. Also, the receiver was bad :( I should have these hooked up within days...

Well, no replies but I have one more question. Does it matter what receiver do I have using Voom LNB? They are two types - legacy and DP. Does that matter or not?

I'm going to have Voom installed today at 3PM and I was wondering If I could somehow add Dish Network International (same 61.5) programming using the same dish (do not want to have 2 seperate dishes as I do not have a lot of space on the patio) and how? I'll only have two receivers - one for...

Kind of new to this but is it possible you guys are using "legacy" receivers? If so, you will need DishPro adapter in order for the SuperDish to work with them. Just though that may help.
