Voom Dish And Directv Dish For Dish Hd?

[vinnyv07]

OK....I have a VOOM dish pointed at 61.5.....and I have a Directv Dish that is pointed at 101. If I moved the Directv Dish to 110 and connected the VOOM Dish at 61.5 and the DTV Dish at 110 to a switch and into my house , would I be able to hook the incoming line from both dishes to a Dish HD receiver and be good to go?

Yeah, if all you wanted was VOOM and half the Dish programming.

Less than half actually, the bulk is on 119... but it would work

Im sorry ...I should have mentioned that Im only interested in the HD the Dish has to offer....which I think is on 110 and 61.5 now. The DTV dish has a DTV LNB and the VOOM Dish has the VOOM LNB...of course. But Im only interested in the HD PAck for 20 bucks a mth.

Get an Sw21 switch a Receiver and you will be in business...

It would be much better to get a Dish500 with either a legacy twin or a legacy quad, and then use sw21s cascaded to get 61.5.


Not all initial downloads for software upgrades are available on 61.5 and 110. You will be really frustrated, if the Dish receiver continually locks on the 061 message screen and nothing else.

Getting the updates depends on the lnb type?
