I installed one of those monster lnbf
for a friend, the problem is we are receiving signal strenght from both birds (110&119) the cable is connected to the 119 outlet, thus we are getting a stronger signal from that bird.My ? is can we receive programming from both birds using just the one cable (no switch)?

One cable from each LNB, yes. You must have a cable running from the 101 LNB to have gotten a signal ,right? Or did you just take a signal at the dish? Your question is a little short to give a complete answer.Do you have a plus IRD? If not, the best you can do is run two cables to the non-plus Ird and use an AB switch to split them to 1 input.As far as I know there is no way to combine them at the dish to the plus IRD on one cable.

Yes, the the signals are locked.Nb we are using a d*** 500 dish and the cable is connected to the 119* side of the LNBF.
