Need hep to setup super dish

[vennelapinky]

Hi All !
I am a new bee and would like to install a super dish. I have a super dish along with tripod from a friend. Which LNB should i buy and planning to point the dish to 61.5. Which receiver is the best to try with.

I would appreciate for all of your help.

Note:- I can not point to 110/121 due to big trees covered around my house.

First: As the satellite at 61.5 is not a Dish Network primary satellite, you may not get all the channels you want, but you will still get many.

Second: Decide how many TV's you want to have connected.

Third: Choose a receiver, keep in mind the dual tuner recievers allow independant control of two TV's per one receiver. And dont' forget the DVR options built in to some receivers.

Fourth: Choose an LNB that is compatible with the receiver you selected.

(I recommend the 625 Dual receiver with DVR. Both TV's will have access to the DVR. You will need a Dish Pro Plus Twin LNB. This LNB still allows for two dual receivers to be connected, effectively giving you 4 independantly-controlled TV's in the home.)

Good Luck!

Do i always have to use DP34 or DP44 switch when i connect the TWIN LNB of the super dish to sp 6000 receiver? Or can i test by connecting only one LNBF to the receiver (To avoid the switch)

Yes! You must use a switch to combine the multiple signals into a single line feed. There is no twinn lnb on a SD, they are duals and both ports on each lnb feeds the same. You'll probably never need a DP44 for your setup, also they run $179!

Super Dish uses ( most of the time) a 500+ LNBF with looks at 110,118.7 and 119. Also with the extra bracket for the 129.
3-4 lines into 34 switch. 44 switch if you want to do all 4.
If you wish to just point at the 61.5, then you will just need a dish 500 with a DP dual for single tuner or a dpp twin for dual tuner.
I agree, use a 522 or 625 DVR or dual non dvr 322.
If you are doing only 1 TV, go for eather the 311 or 301.
NB: They will stop with the 311 soon.
