Multi switch?

[Pine]

I’m in located in Arizona and I’m new to this satellite stuff.

I have a Dish network 1000.2 antenna with triple LNB, with 119, 110 & 129. I’m only running 1 receiver, part # VIP211K.

I have 3 RG6 cables run from the antenna; I need to know what part I need to connect the 3 cables together to run 1 cable to the receiver.

Is it a multi switch?

If so which one?

Does it require electrical power at the multi-switch? It would be very difficult to get electric to where it is located.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You don't need a switch. Just hook up one run to your receiver.

It does work when I connect the 110 or 119 to the receiver.

Why does it have a connection for each LNB? I thought maybe it picked up the strongest satellite signal or was required to get specific channels?

Thanks!

The 1000.2 dish can feed up to 3 dual tuner receivers. Each output will feed a receiver. As mentioned above, just connect one of the cables to the receiver and run check switch (Menu, 6, 1, 1, check switch).

Thank You!

So the 3 LNB's are for 3 seperate receivers?

The three "eyes" are for three satellite locations. One for 110, 119 and 129. The switch is built-in and all three signals are output thru all three ports on the LNB. There is also an input to add a wing dish for another satellite location.
