LNB Set-up Question

[pmolson]

Please forgive me if this isn't the right section...

I just got a Viewsat Xtreme for my nephew in columbus, OH. He has two DN dishes. One has 1 DishPro LNB and the other has 2-separate DishPro Plus (DPP) LNBs.

In his current set-up (with DN recvr), a coax cable is coming out of his 61.5 (single LNB Dish) dish and goes into the 2LNB-box. There is only one coax cable coming out of the 2LNB-box and going to the DN Recvr...so what I suspect is that inside that 2LNB-box there is a 2-1 or 3-1 internal switch or separator of some sort...Oh and he also has a big 33 inch dish for FTA with a circular lnb for his Intelsat5 channels...

and my question is as follows...

Given that I got him Viewsat Xtreme now and knowing that now he needs to have his big FTA dish + DN package (110, 119, &61.5) what set-up would you recommned (if any) to get this to work using the built-in switch and/or viewsat's 4-1 switch? THX in ADVC

You can not use the built in switch of dishnetwork for FTA. And you can not use FTA receiver to get dishnetwork programming. They are different technologies. Leave the dishnetwork setting as it is and run another line for your big dish to your FTA receiver to watch FTA programming.

I will try that. THX
