Oval Dave Antenna

[lefty]

Can I use my old oval antenna on Dish? It has 2 Dual LNB's and a Channelmaster switch.

I'll be using 301 DishPro IRD's with MC's.

:cool:

Yes. It will work.
Remove the switch (i believe it's a multi-switch). Get a SW21 switch and connect one outfut from each LNB to the SW21 inputs, then connnect the output from SW21 to IRD. Re-align the dish to get signal from 110 and 119 birds. Don't forget to do the check switch in the Installation/Dish pointing menu.

Need to understand. Why can't you use the switch on the Dave antenna? It is basically a coupler to allow multiple LNB inputs to travel through one coax. Just like to understand. Thanks.

They use different switching methods.

If your oval dish has the three lnb end with no lnb in the middle, then you can just move the 101 lnb (the one on the East side) to the middle 110 (Sat C) position, connect to an SW21 switch and your done.

The Dish satellites are at 110 and 119. Your Oval DTV Dish has spots for 101, 110, and 119.
