I just got a BEV 20" dish, and it came with a dish network dual LNB. I have an old directv dual lnb as well. Can I use both of these LNBs on this 20" dish to get the 110 and 119 bird (using a SW21 with bev 3100 ird)?

My mast/support arm that holds the lnb has azimuth/elev/skew settings. However, I did not get the y-adapter to hold both LNBs. If I pick one up,, will it work with this dish? I am worried about signal since the y-adapter would place the two lnbs further away from the dish, and space them apart more compared to where the single lnb would be sitting directly in the support arm. Will this be a problem?

thanx

Yes will work as long as dish has skew adjustment, you say it does do you are good.

the 20" dish i have wont hold a single lnb without the y adapter because of the size of the lnb arm
