Re: nimiq 1

1: But what about the connections? Two cables comes from two different LNBF, you need somehow merge the singals into one cable, right?

It's easy. Use a Diseqc 2x1 or 4x1 to switch between the linear and circular lnbfs. Remeber, the switch must be installed between the lnbfs and the Diseq 1.2 mount.

2: Dose it matter how do you attatch circular LNBF to the exitsting KU
LNBF, what if you get the position or directions wrong?[/quote]
DishNetwork signal is pretty strong. So the cicular lnbf placement is not really critical. Just attach it to the left or right side, then move the dish to see if you can get lock, if not, adjust the its position a bit higher or lower.
