P.S.
Keep in mind I have a original Channel Master multiswitch that was intended for use with the lnbf. (its a Horizontal and vertical polorization)
I will try to get pics of it on here but, my digital cam is a battery sucker, and I havent firured out how to put them on my computer yet.
If photos will help you, let me know. |
It might help if you indicate what satellite/channel you're hoping to view with the Primestar dish. I'm not familiar with the specific primestar dish/lnbf you have, but the ones I've used are standard 10750 LO lnbfs which should be OK for most FTA channels. However the Primestar LNBFs I've used were not voltage switchable for polarity, ie they had 2 coax connections, one for H and one for V. That might be why there was this multi-switch in your sytem, but I'm not sure. I think I would have used a 22khz or
diseqC switch. But if you're trying to get just a single channel, or a single polarity, you may not need any switch, just connect the coax to the appropriate polarity port.
You also didn't mention what receiver you're using, but I assume it's a DVB receiver of some kind.
But yes, you should be able to use the Primestar dish, I'm using one myself, although I've put on a different lnbf. THe original lnbf should work, as I described above, although since it's probably 15 years old or so, it probably isn't as low a noise figure as more modern lnbfs, but the one I had did work OK. Not real sensitive, but it worked. I think it was a quality brand too, like Japan Radio or something like that.
I don't know much about multi-switches
