Experiment

Multidish lnb

September 17, 2006

I have a bud (10 foot dish) and I decided to use it to watch 4dtv channels but also I wanted to use it with my dvb receivers.  There are many channels you can get with this setup.

So I bought some splitters to split signal between my 922 and my dvb receivers.

Well it works, I can get dvb signals on c-band but this is not fun.

You have to use the 922 receiver to change sats (I can live with that)

You have to change channels on the 922 receiver to go from H to V channels (this is a real pain)

So I read and saw that there is an orthomode feed for a 10 foot dish.  An orthomode feed is a feed with 4 lnbs. 2 for C bands and 2 for ku-band.  You connect the two cables from the c-bands lnb to a multiswitch and then you can connect those outputs where you want.  One on the 922 and one on a dvb receiver.

So I bought one on ebay a couple of months ago.  I did install it.

It is working very well.  Here is how it is connected.

And here are the pictures
