i think so. i am using a dtv 18# dish on sat 119 and all is well.

18" dish with single LNB works with FTA IRD for charlie.

"DirecTV Multi-satellite dish antennas with intergrated triple LNB and built-in multi-switch" does NOT with FTA.

Can i use a Y yoke and add another lnb with the dtv 18" dish and get 110, and 119. Or would i have to get a dish 500 or something simmiliar.


Thanks in advance

Try to get in your area an adapter that is made by Ariza, with that you can use two LNBs (110 & 119) in a dish like that

Can't use a y yoke to make it work. But strap on a second lnb with those plastic cable tie's and it will work just fine. Using this sort of setup on my FTA right now with a 18" dish.

On mine I'm using a 18" DN dish with a dual output DN LNBF aligned for 119. The second LNBF is a from a RCA dish with a single output positioned (facing the front of the dish) on the left side of the DN LNBF. With the eye leaning slightly towards the DN LNBF and down for 110. Attached with two plastic cable ties to the DN LNBF.

Man you went out of your way to take that picture, seems its night time. Pictures are well worth it.

That's the famous Poorman's dish - two LNB in one 18" dish.

I found this at the other site. Four LNB in one 18" dish.
The LNB's are labled as follows...starting from the far left = 91, 101, 110, 119
