Adding receivers

[BethTN]

I have skyangel. We have one receiver now. Our Dish has 3 LNB. Someone has given us 2 receivers. How do I add these receivers? Do I buy new cards and just plug them in or do I need to call skyangel and get cards from them, etc?

Thanks
Beth

should have cards already

they should already have cards. each receiver needs to be activated at a cost of $5 a month?

Also, BethTN, you may want to acquaint yourself with the threads regarding IPTV and Sky Angel. Sounds like sometime in the next 4-5 months you won't even have an option of using your 3LNB dish or the 2 extra receivers you have because Sky Angel won't be available via Satellite anymore...

Not flaming SA here, just stating what seems to be a common thread.

It wasn't clear (to me) what satellite the OP was talking about. Since this is the Sky Angel forum I thought that the poster may be asking about the 61.5 satellite. The numbers for that satellite for zip 42211 are azimuth is 143, elevation 39.

Anytime you are using a dish 500 for a single slot (like 61.5 for Sky Angel) you ALWAYS set the skew to 90 (no skew).
