Need info regarding the use of my 18"x24" Elliptical Dish, for Dish Net?

[1 CRAZY CANUCK]

O.K., time for some education.
I own a DirecTv 18x24 Elliptical dish with a Sat-C LNB, included; as well as the dual LNBs for A+B Satellites.
Question: "Can I use this dish to receiver all DishNetwork programming? And, can I locate the proper Alignment degree angles by using the zip-code method?
Where would I locate the proper program to use the Zip-Code?"

Thanks! Crazy! - eh!

Yes you can if the LNBs are separate LNBs, if it's an all-in-one DTV LNB then no you can not use it.

If it's already pointed for DTV (and working) then no adjustment is nesassary,
If its not pointed then use the DTV pointing guide NOT the dishnet, the skew numbers will be wrong. Use a DTV receiver and on-screen setup and signal meters, select OVAL DISH 3 LNBs and tune in for best signal on all 3 sats.

After dish is tuned:
You have 2 options, both will result in NO DTV SAT C signal.
Remove SAT C LNB, and replace with single or dual LNB, or if you no longer want DTV, move sat101 LNB over to sat110 (SATC) location.
Now use an sw-21 switch to hookup 110 &119 sats to DishNet receiver.
If you leave the 101 LNB as is you can use it for DTV, and if needed you can get a 22khz A/B switch to get 101 & 119 on the DTV receiver also.

This is for 1 Dishnet IRD and 1 DTV IRD, multiple IRDs which can be done would require more extensive wiring.

Thanks RonD; and, ed12 the answer to your question is a Dishnet receiver.
Anyway, I've got the 18x24 elliptical dish that has the three seperate LNBs. I had to fetch a Sat-C kit to add-on, which is a single LNB; and, the other two LNBs are duals. Also, I've got a Channel Master Mdl. 4014IFD - QUAD HIGH PERFORMANCE DIPLEXER which has LNB A, LNB B, VHF/UHF input, LNB C, and a LNB D and I have a combiner unit to connect the single LNB [ Sat-C] to the LNB C input. It's required to connect the Sat-C kit's single LNB to the inside line of the B dual LNB. Presently, there is a CM multiplexer being used supplied with Elliptical Dish package. It's not a "quad diplexer" just a multiplexer.
So, I would just leave the settings for the two dual LNBs [A&B]; would I have to change the tilt [64.3 deg.]?
Appreciate your time! - eh!

You need to make sure you are aligned is all...

I use a salad bowl with covered tin foil as my sat antenna...
all that is emportant is having an lnb and being set to the right sat
63 or 119 or 110 or 148 whatever
good luck
