2 DSR-410 receivers & with one LNBF

[skitheberks]

What is the easiest way to hook up two DSR-410 receivers to one LNBF?

I may go with a dual output c-band LNBF, but right now want to use the existing equipment.

What is the easiest way to hook up two DSR-410 receivers to one LNBF?

So... what IS the existing equipment?
You have a single output LNBF now?

If you want them to work properly, both at the same time, there is no solution.
Whatever you do, the two receivers cannot listen to opposite polarities at the same time

I think you have identified the least expensive solution: a dual-output LNBF.
Then later, if you want to expand to three or four receivers, just add a 2x4 multiswitch.

If you can wait a few weeks you can get a dual output c-band lnbf cheap from this (http://www.satelliteguys.us/c-band-...3787-group-buy-geosatpro-c2-lnbf-13-00-a.html) group buy . Both your receivers will be able to watch either polaraty at the same time.

I have the BSC-421 LNBF. I may just buy the dual output lnbf and hook it up in the spring when the ice is gone by the dish.

I do have to say that I am still very satisfied with the DSR-410 & programming.

I take it you have a fixed-aimed BUD?
What brand/model and size are you using?

Glad to get feedback from a happy user. - :up
Which package did you get?

If your pointed at 105w amc-18 c band for the skyvision/HITS channels a 6 foot dish is adequate. Larger dishes are always better.

I am using a 7.5' KTI dish. It has the actuator on it but now it is parked. I do keep it the actuator in use by moving up and down the arc twice a month using the Uniden Supra receiver.

The dish & acuator (Saginaw)are 10 years old, I am original owner and installer of the system. I was told by the dish dealer back in 1998 to make sure I go from the lowest satetllite to the highest monthly to keep the tube lubed. Never had any issues.

Someday I may try FTA.

Someday I may try FTA.

If you're already tracking the arc, all you need is a receiver and you're FTA...
