2 Hopper Wiring For EA LNB

[az99]

What would be the correct wiring for a 2 Hopper setup using the 2 head LNB for 61.5 and 72? I tried the 2 coax coming from the LNB to port 1 & 2 of the DUO Node but it does not seem to work. I verified that the LNB cabling is OK by using a Solo Node and only 1 Hopper. Do I need the 3 head EA LNB so I have a cable to all 3 ports of the Duo Node?

Thanx

Should be port 1 and 2 and 3 into the satellite side of the duo node. Then the two host ports have a cable coming out into the each hopper. The way it was described to me is each port in the LNb handles 2 tuners.

There are only 2 cables from the 2 head EA LNB

It doesn't have the 4 ports? 3 for tuners and a 4th to attach a swing dish?

The 2 feedhorn EA LNB I thought had 3 outputs and no input. Or am I getting old?

 

[ChadT41]

This is what came up on a basic search. Think you are right Krell.

 

[TheKrell]

Yup. Amazon has a pic w/description: Amazon product ASIN B00946HPUO I guess I'm not getting old after all. Solid signal inexplicably has the wrong pic.

I assumed it was 2 outputs and 1 for the swing dish. So I just need to add a 3rd cable?

 

[ChadT41]

Correct

 

[az99]

That fixed it. Sure enough, with strong glasses on, the 3 ports are labeled 1,2,3.

Thanx for the replies.

Glad we could help, and glad what I was told came back as proof positive. Each port can handle two tuners on the LNB
