What type of LNB for 110 Sat location?

[docadar]

I know what you're thinking, but no I don't want the Sat-C LNB for DTV's 110 degree satellite location. I'm running a DTV/DN set-up. I want the 101, and 119 for DTV and the 110, and 119 for Dish. Currently I have the Plus dish and 2 dual LNB's. I don't have it up yet because I want to mount all the LNB's and run the cable at the same time. I need to find out if I can just go to Wal-Mart and buy a RCA Dual LNB or do I need a 3rd Plus Dish LNB. I don't want to do any "duct tape" or "hot glue" solutions. I already have all the switches I need. I just need to know what I can use for the 110 position.

The Plus Dish LNB's look quite a bit bigger than the standard dish LNB's. But it looks to have the same size mount.

Thanks for any help you could supply. Pictures would be cool to. I thought I had Toolio's site bookmarked, but I don't.

OK, let me see if I've got this straight :) You want to put the 3rd amp (and yes, it's the same amp as what's in a dual system sold at Wal-Mart) in the center position of an oval DTV dish and take the 110 & 119, use them for Echo, but also (besides the 101) share the 119 with DTV?

When you say "I already have all the switches I need" you'd better elaborate :) Are you thinking you're going to mix the 4X4 multi sw and say Echos SW21? Or are you going to use mechanical A-B-C switches to select between the various amps?

Yes, this is correct. On the DTV 110 sat there is nothing there but some locals for "targeted" markets.

I have A 6904IFD 4X4 Multi Switch for the Plus Dish, I have a powered RCA 2X4 Multi-Switch, and 2 SW21 switches for dish. If I could post a link showing the diagram I would, but it is outside of this forum, so I'll PM it to you, OK.

and Yes, that's kind of the setup I was thinking about, and certainly fits your discription of "all the switches" -hehe. I think you're Good-to-Go and again, the regular dual amp will go onto your DTV dish and is perfectly suitable for Echo.

I'm going to take a chance here and post the link because I really can't imaging anyone having a problem with it, it's not a commerical site, trying to sell you anything but rather an information only site. I would have posted it before but couldn't find it in my bookmarks (I looked but it was a strange title :) )

Good Luck, let us know how it worked ;)
