Sw21 is what you would need and yes it will work

Thanks for the quick reply iceberg. One more question can i just use the one dtv 3lnb dish to receiver just 61.5 only with a 211 receiver so i can get hd only content. I seen in one of your post to use the lnb on the right. Also do you run checkswitch.

 

[Mr Tony]

yes you can use the Phase III and correct, use the right LNB (if standing behind the dish) to aim the dish at 61.5

yes run a check switch...it should only pick up 61.5 (if aimed right)

good luck

looks like there is some HD on 72.7...scroll down to the 9400's

Along this line Iceberg, I wish Dish would have put TNT and SCIFI HD on 61.5 instead of 72.7! This would have made life simpler for me this spring. I could have used a one dish solution but now can't as the wife watches both stations.

The 1000.4 dish would give you a one dish solution.

Yes a 1000.4 would work and is probably what I will end up doing if LOS is not an issue (will know better when this long winter decides to let up some), but a single LNBF on a dish 500 just to 61.5 would have been the cat's you know what.

So true, I got 61.5 through an opening of surrounding trees. Not sure if I could get 72 or 77. No problem getting 110/119, I have to live with two dishes.

have two dishes here at the house. Same setup that you have. Looked at going to a 1000.4 but have a pine tree in the way for the 72.7/77 part of the situation. Will have to live with 2 dishes here. We bought a camper at a lake and that is what I was talking about above. In the one time we have been there and using dishpointer-com it looks like 61.5 will be fine but I won't know about the other two until I get back up there and evaluate clearing the tops of the trees..
