If you are going to go with a SuperDish 121 to receive 3 sat locations (119/110/121), then you need to consider the following:
- (1) Switch: Either a DP34 or DPP44:
- - - - (a) DP34: Will connect 3 sat locations to 4 receivers, takes 2 cables to feed dual tuner receiver, no Power Inserter required, costs about $60 - $70 (+/-).
- - - - (b) DPP44: Will connect 4 sat locations to 4 receivers (8 tuners), take one cable to feed dual tuner receiver, costs about $170 - $200.
- (2) Routing cable: Will you be drilling a hole through a wall? Another option is using "RG-6 Flat Cable" which is about 8" long, but you can open a window or sliding door and then close the door on this cable. However, if you open and close the door too much, I have found it doesn't last long - so buy a couple of extra's. They cost about $2 a piece, athough some like to charge about $9 each.
- (3) Mounting: I guess if you got a big enough bucket, pan, slop jar, etc..., you could install a mast pole in it, with one end flat or a rod through it to keep it from turning. Then add concret mix and water to weigh it down. And maybe even run a bracket from it to the railing as an option.
Sorry - but I could not tell you how much weight or concret to use - maybe someone else has figures.
At the top of the forum pages, you will see several advertisers. I do know that Sadoun and The DishStore both sells the SuperDish 121. I would suggest going to their web sites, and/or call them, and check their prices. There will be differences, but you need to compare the final pricing as shipped to your location:
- SD-121 Price
- Shipping Cost to your location
- Is a DP34 Switch included (if not, what is the price, and if you want the DPP44, will they offset the price of a DP34)
