I use a WNC SW-48 multi switch

Interesting the WNC SW-48 is a non powered switch, I thought from reading the other thread that all the LNB's must be powered.

So if I use a WNC SW-48 all I will need is..


Bullseye II
2 C Band LNB's (Leaning twards the Chapparral 20 Degree C Band LNBs unless someone thinks thats a bad move)
2 KU LNB's (Leaning twards the Eagle / Aspen 0.6 LNB's unless someone thinks thats a bad move.)
A WNC SW-48 Switch (I may have one of these in the basement from an old DIRECTV install)

Anything else I am not thinking of here?

They do, you have to put this inbetween the switch and the lnb's, especially on the 13 volt side as the lnb requires 18 volts to properly see everything.

The WNC SW-48 is a powered switch I have three of them. I modded the one I use to bump up the voltage on the 13v side. Very cheap. Switch cost me $11 on ebay and 2 resistors from Radio shack.

A few members have reported that they didn't need to increase the voltage on the 13v side and it works fine. My switch is mounted at the bottom of the dish inside the foundation of the house.

I was ---> <--- this close to pulling the trigger then a friend of mine called with a 10 foot Oribtron dish with H2H mount asking me if I want it. So I am going to try it (the dish) first.

This one classified add really opened my eyes and gave me lots of ideas. :)

Thanks!!
