Do I need a different dish for a 411/211 vs. and 811?

[purple1184]

I want to swap out an 811 for a 211 or 411.

I have a SW21 3-Sat setup right now getting 119, 110 and 61.5 will this need to change.

You didn't list your location, you may have Lil HD locals on a different sat ie: 129, if they are on that bird you can swing the dish at 61.5 and still use existing equipment.

Can I hookup three receivers to the switch 21?

 

[Mr Tony]

no
I assume you have a Dish 500 for 110/119 and a Dish300 for 61.5 connected with a SW21.

If you need 2 recevers, just get another SW21 and repeat what you have now

For 3 receivers, I would go DishPro..much easier.
You would swap the LNB's to DishPro and get a DP34 switch. Then you can hook 4 recievers on it

Thanks for the reply.

I just got off the phone with a guy from the dish depot and he said that I should get a Dish Pro Twin LNB , a Dish Pro Dual LNB and a Dish Pro 34 switch.

yep that would be the easiest way to get 3 recievers on a 3 satellite setup
