Directv installed a 4 bedroom system in my home & it is just working fine. I bought a Dish500 +3 Coolsats from Craigs list, a dude told me that I could get FTA channels (and yes, I know what are those now) with this. I set it up & even bought a motor for a 22" dish. Dude disappeared. It took me a while to find out the difference between Circular and Linear LNB's; mind you 1 1/2 month ago I didn't even know that FTA existed. So wife is bitching about our home looking like NASA & just wants one dish. Thought about the 36" & a set of LNB's, if possible. Directv said it would be okay to change equipment, just tell them what I had. They say Coolsats and their system could be linked just fine (through switches? 2 boxes?billing?) couldn't give me more details. I want Directv and FTA channels in one dish. That's why I'm lost with switches. But you know what,, too much of a hazzle & too much static. I will get help from a local technician. My apologies for nothing again, since I feel I've done nothing wrong. Good bye. Please delete & cancel my account.
Now don't get all huffy !!

Its just that we get so darned many newbies jumping into the forums trying to get hacking information, oftened very well disguised. Sorry if we tarred you with the same brush, but yes, we do have itchy trigger fingers, and yes, we do sometimes jump to inappropriate conclusions. One must admit, having 3 Coolsat receivers does look a little suspicious. And DirecTv was wrong if they told you Coolsat receivers will work with their service; no way. As for everything on one dish -- way too complicated as elgemcdlf says. However, I suspect the WAF (Wife Approval Factor) of having more than one dish is pretty low...

Whatever you decide I hope you will stick around. Again, I am sorry for the rough welcome.
