Dish Pro LNB and 24" pan?

[diablo]

Can I use a Dish Pro LNB with a 24" BEV pan, or would I get the same results adding a second LNB to the "Y" LNB holder that BEV is providing with it's 3200 package?
The "Y" holder comes with one LNB for 91 and another place for 82 (BEV)
Would this work for Dishe's 110 and 119 birds?
The Dish Pro looks as though the arm should be much larger than the regular one to accomodate that LNB.
Thanks,

Yes you can use the BEV pan with 2 LNB's for DN. You will also need an SW-21 switch or equivalent for each receiver.

It is a bit of a trick to point it. Find a program called ZipCode32.exe and it will give you the proper elevation and skew angle for your area. Set you pan to the proper skew angle and lock in on the 119 bird with the highest signal possible. Use the 91 BEV LNB to lock onto the 119 bird. Once your locked and have a good signal strength you will have to run checkswitch on the receiver and it should pick up the 110 bird.

Another tip when trying to lock onto the 119 is to change the transponders because some transponders will not pick up the 119 or 110 satellites.

Have fun

Thanks for the info. but can i use that Dish Pro LNB on any pan (as in an adapter for that large LNB) or is it only designed for the Dish 500?
I appreciate the good advice fron everyone here. This is the best place to go for sure.

Typically it is designed for the Dish 500 but if you can mount it securly and the signal will come in for you (ie not too far or too close to the pan) you are good to go. I have even seen LNB's zip tied to other LNB's (and working) for people who dont have the Y adaptor.

Best thing to do is try it out for yourself.

I think the "Y" adapter with two LNB's will essentially give me a Dish 500 system anyway so I wouldn't need that LNB but, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
