Need to upgrade old LNB, can only receive 119.

[mrgl02]

I'll admit it up front. I need advice. I've put this off long enough, because I don't know what I'm doing, and I don't know what I need to buy to make it work.

I have a Dish Pro 301 receiver. Outside, I have a dish and a single LNB that are both around 8 years old. (This is my second or third receiver, but it is the only dish and LNB that I've ever used). I originally installed my system, along with a similar system at my parents house.

Since then, technology has changed and I can only receive channels on 119, and want to upgrade so I can receive channels on 110. (Yes, I know... what rock have I been living under for the last few years?)

What equipment do I need to buy to upgrade? Will I need to run a second piece of coax? I hate asking such simple questions, but I'm going to learn first.

I appreciate the assistance more than you will know. Thanks.

Sadoun is selling the Dish 500 with twin LNB for $99. Self-contained switch. One Coax.

So, the Dish Pro Plus LNBF has an internal switch, and does away with the need for a separate DP34 switch.

A Dish Pro LNBF would need the separate switch.

Correct?

Thanks. I'm learning, and I appreciate the help.

The "TWIN" LNBF (Legacy, Pro or Pro Plus) used on Dish 500 for 110-119 reception incorporates internal switching. The two outputs on the TWIN (or Four on the QUAD) are each for Separate receivers (or tuners in the case of the dual DVR receivers). No other switch required.
