Switch question

[DirkDiggler]

Hi, I’m changing my system from Dish to DTV, I have a question regarding getting two satellites with one receiver, one dual LNB is pointing towards 119 the other one to 101, I have a diseqc switch used in dish, will it work with DTV?? For now only getting 119, but I’m missing a lot of channels, are they on 101? I will probably upgrade my dish in the future to get HD but cannot do it now.

Thanks,

DirecTV's core channels are on 101 and 119 has some channels.
You can't use the Dish stuff and you'll need a 4x4 multiswitch to combine the two LNBs.
Connect the 101 LNB to the Sat A inputs and the 119 to Sat B.

What DirecTV receivers will you be using? I'd call DirecTV and see what they would offer. They will supply the dish and installation for new subscriptions for the cost of a receiver.

Call DIRECTV.
