Amateur question, some help please?

Hey all,

I was planning on bringing an old spare 18" dish to my tailgate, and was wondering if I could hook the 18v directly from the lnb to the back of a single reciever, or would i need the 4x4 multiswitch and run the 13v and 18v to it to power a single reciever?

Thanks for the help.

Not sure if there is an answer for your question in here... but here's a thread discussing that topic.

As Fan said, we have a tailgating thread already, but... You just need your dish and the receiver. Post in the other thread if we can be of more help.

Your receiver produces the voltage not the dish. The receiver produces 18 volts to select 1 polarity and 12 volts for the opposite polarity. All you need is 1 receiver 1 cable from the receiver to 1 dish.
