Phase III plus separate 110 dish

[yunro]

Hi, living in an apartment I have very limited mounting options. With my phase III dish I am able to get very good signals from 101 and 119, but I get nothing on 110 because of a tree branch issue, and this is the only spot I can get 119 due to said tree. Would it be possible to use another dish with sat c kit to get 110 and combine that with the phase III with appropriate multiswitch.
Thanks for the help

The Sat C kit inserts the 110 feed in with one of the 119 feeds before it goes into the switch on a Phase II dish. Not sure if there would be issues with the current 110 LNB and the added on one conflicting with one another if you used the kit with a Phase III dish. The external switch would have to be cascadable also.

You can try it with the Phase III though you may need to hunt down an old Phase II dish with external multiswitch to make it all work.

I think you may be able to use a multiswitch with FlexPorts to do what you need to do (such as the Zinwell SAM-6802, which you can pick up from Sadoun or on eBay for pretty cheap).

You will run 4 wires from your phase III dish into Sat A 18v and 13v and Sat B 18v and 13v on the swtich for 101 and 119. Then, you can take that 110 feed from the Sat C kit LNB on a seperate dish and run it into a FlexPort on the switch since 110 only uses even (18v) transponders.

I'm pretty sure this would work.
