Help installing remote DirecTV dish
I am a DirecTV subscriber at my home. I have 2 receivers connected but also have another 2 receivers I was going to install at the hunting campground where I and a friend have campers. Now a 3rd friend is bringing in a camper. (I was up front with DirecTV when I first subscribed and got the 2 extra receivers for camp and they said "No problem!"...so I imagine I can get another receiver as well.) At home, my dish has 1 LNB. At camp, to aviod splitting the signal and weaken the signal to each, will a 3 LNB dish work? 1 for each camper? I know at home my dish is aimed at 101 and I've heard that 110 and 119 are for HD which I do not subscribe to for home and we don't need at camp. Will the 3 LNB dish be a problem? Or is it the way to go?
Thanks in advance for comments and advise. Lekes |

If you get the phase 3 antenna it has 4 outputs on it and you would be able to send 1 to each receiver. NO SPLITTING OF THE CABLES

Phase 3
Thanks, Techman540! Do you know if each satellite (101, 110, 119) carries the same programming? I was under the impression that one of them carried spanish programming...maybe that's in addition to regular programming.
I was about to give up....not much traffic on this forum. Thanks again for the reply! |

No 101 carries all the main programming. You could use a round dish and point to that sat. There is a chance though the local networks will be on 110 or 119. You are right that 110 or 119 is Spanish. I think it is 119. Those are used for ethnic programming and distant channels.
I am new to this forum it does seem kinda slow. I don't know about the traffic yet. I am hoping to keep it going. Let me know if I can be of more help. |
