    SL3-SWM Single Wire LNB advice needed

    Hi everyone! I haven't been here for awhile. I am planning to help my friend order the proper LNB/Antenna combination for his HR22-100 receiver. He has only 1 wire running into the house from where his existing DTV dish is located. So it looks like the SL3-SWM would fit the bill in...

    Can I use a SW-21X to add 61.5 to 110/118.7 ?

    I'm using a modified setup with an 33" eliptical dish to get 110 and 118.7 combined via SW-21. Can I add 61.5 with the use of a SW-21X. And which sats would I connect with the SW-21X? I am using this setup on a 622 HD-PVR. I've had it with 129, so it isn't an option. Thanks to those who...

    Advice on switches to use for legacy LNB's for 110, 119 & 129

    All the LNB's I'm using are legacy, and as I understand it I connect 110 and 119 via a SW21X, and then I connect the output from the SW21X to port 1 on the SW21 and then the output from the LNB pointed at 129 to port 2 on the SW21. Then I connect the output from my SW21 to my receiver. Can...

    Will a Dish Pro Plus LNB work along with new circular LNB for 118.7 ?

    The reason I'm asking is so that I can just run the 1 RG6 cable into my house from the dish to my 622 and still make use of the DPP separator to split the signal for the 622's dual tuners. Also, is there a new version of the DPP that can pickup all 118.7 and 119 channels? Thanks in advance...

    Problem adding KU Linear LNB for International channels on 95°

    Hi guys. I'm just wondering whether a KU Linear LNB with an LO of 9.75/10.6 GHz will work for International channels on 95°. I have configured one with LO of 10.750 GHz no problem, but this new one I'm trying to setup is much smaller and weighs a lot less :) I've done this many times...

    Need advice on using my 76cm Winegard as a Dish1000

    Will an in-line amplifier lessen the chance of "rain fade"?

    Hi, I was thinking of getting a 76cm dish to replace my current 24" that I am using for BEV. A local dealer suggested that I use an in-line amplifier to boost the signal. Would this be an easier fix than getting a larger and more expensive dish? Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
