Dish 211 receiver .... best lnb and switch ???

[Aguijon]

Hello:

I have a 211 dish receiver and I want to know wich is better lnb and switch for it using only 2 satellites (110 and 119)???

Can i use lnb dish pro with this receiver with an SW21 switch????

In case of I want to take 110, 119 and 61.5 satellites signals.... which is the best switch and lnb for it????

Thanks.... your help will be appreciated.

Why 61.5? Not much content on it. If you are trying for HD programing, you'd want 129 or 72.7. What type dishes are you using? Also note that any type sw-xxx switch does not work with DishPro.

since his location say Dominican Republic 72.7 or 129 wont work for them

Thanks !!!.... but which lnb and switch are better for use with a 211 receiver with 110 and 119 satellites???

Are you using two or three separate dishes? If all three are DP lnb's, you could use a DP34, DPP33 or DPP44 switch. If you are using a standard Dish500 dish, a DPtwin or DPPtwin would have the switch built in. Please note that a sw-21 will not work with DP lnb's, they would need to be legacy lnb's.

SW-21 indicates a Switch designed for LEGACY ELECTRONICS using 2 inputs to 1 output. A DP-21 switch is for Dish Pro Electronics again 2 inputs to 1 output.

You are probably using 2 larger non DISH dishes, most common usage would be using 2 generic LEGACY LNBs for 110 & 119 a SW-21 would be the appropriate switch.

I use a Dish Pro Plus 33 switch for 110, 119 & 61 with 3 pro lnbs.

Actually I have 1 dish 211 receiver conected from 2 plates (1 plate for 110 and the other for 119) with a SW-21 switch.

Would have to assume the lnb's being used are legacy. If you switch the lnb's to DishPro, you would need to change the switch as well.
