want to receive fta and music from dishnetwork

[mjbehnke]

I just bought a twinhan card and have an old Primestar dish. The dish is a little wider than 3ft. So, I think it will work, My problem is:

I want to get FTA stations, AND the DMX unscrambled music channels on Dishnetwork. I'm going to order a HH motor, But I don't know what kind of LNB I need to get this? I've seen Universal and standard. Do I need the universal one for everything, or do I need to get two lnb's and two dishes. Eitherway, If I have to have two dishes or lnb's , how do I get them both connected to one input? Do I use a splitter or buy a cable switch box?? I'm very new to this and I'm not too sure what I need to do!

For the DishNetwork music station you will need a circular type LNBF. This is the type that DirecTV and DN use. You will need to setup the L.O. frequency for this LNBF in your reciver to 11250.

For the other FTA channels on Telstar 5, etc. you could use either a Universal or Standard type LNBF.

You will need to connect the two LNBF into a 2-way DiSEqC switch such as the one found here: http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Acces...i-switches.htm
