I want to know how can I connect my 2 lnb oval dish and my new motorized 36" dish to the ultra receiver, do I need a switch?
is this a good or bad idea :?

Thanks

Can't wait I hope Sadoun ships fast :wink:

Why would you want to connect the oval dish to the Ultra? Its too small to pull in any signal; with a motorized dish you don't need another dish. The only thing the oval dish might be used for is receiving the few free channels on DishNetwork or Bell ExpressVu - the Ultra will get these. It will not pick up any DirecTV channels... :cry:

I am a dish subscriber, and I wanted to know if I can just use one receivers instead of 2.
thx

Oh, I see..

No; you cannot use one receiver for both; DN requires the use of its own receiver.
