Is it possible to set up 2 dish network dishes to receive Sat 119 and I think
Sat 121 for my locals?
I have a superdish at my home but want to activate
a second receiver for camping
I know I can get 2 Major cities on Sat 119 with an RV Declaration form.
I Have an old dish and receiver from 5 years ago I would like to use.
Thank you
 
Not unless you want to cart around a 30"+ dish - a regular 18" DBS dish will NOT work on the 121 or 105 birds, since they are NOT DBS birds.

Just get the other 2 cities on 119 & be done with it - plus get the benefit of time-shifting... ;) ;)
 
I take a dish camping, dual lnb RCA dish, but I only hit 119, alot of choices on that bird. It's very difficult to find 119 through the trees, trying to find several birds would be a PITA. If we camp at the lake and are in the clear, it takes about 60 seconds to find 119, once, I set the dish up and hit hit in 2 seconds.

We take two receivers from the house, kids have one in bunk room. Camping is so rough these days.
