A separate antenna for 118??

[edmih]

Heed help to understand if it's possible to have a separete antenna for 118 sattellite. Currently I have one dish for 61.5, and another for 110,119,129.
The 61.5 coax output cable goes to a built-in 44 switch (in 110,119.129 antenna), only one cables goes into my house (1 TV only).
I want to keep it that way and use built in 44 switch instead of having a standalone switch and bunch of cables running.
Is there an antenna for 118?
You help is very appreciated!

OF course u can have a dish for just this if you want to. Can use the 119/118 lnb and only connect the 118 portion. Also could find another lnb for 118 (its not a normal type and is more work to find/make but it can be done)

The 1000+ and 500+ antennas that have 118.7 LNBs use an external DPP44 switch.

No .. not if you want to have all 5 orbitals. Is there something you need on 61.5 thats not on 118.7 ? You can bring in all 5 but it would take a 44 with the right setup.

Sounds like he has a Dish 1000.2 with the integrated LNBF, and a Dish 300/500 as a wing dish for 61.5.

As Bountykiller said, he should be able to replace the Dish 300/500 with a Dish 500+, and just feed the 118 LNBF into the Dish 1000.2.

He will not have to buy a 4 orbital switch (DPP44), and will not have 61.5.

When the Dish 1000.2 LNBF craps out, he could remove the Dish 1000.2, and convert the Dish 500+ to a Dish 1000+ by purchasing a DPP44 and either a single or dual LNBF for 129. This will still give him 110/118/119/129.
