disque and direct tv

[LordAlex]

Because of LOS issues I can't get better than 40% on 101 wit my dtv dish. I'd lke to use my FTA dish to watch 101 since that dish has no LOS issues with that sat. However the dtv receiver can't address a disque port..any way around this?

Why not move the DirecTV dish to achieve the correct LoS?

 

[LordAlex]

if i have it moved then i'll loose 119. the spot it is in now is the only place all 3 can be seen. i have alot of trees.

Use separate dishes for 101 and 119/110.

Before I went to all that trouble I would just run a new line from y quad port LNB and bypass the switch but I was hoping there was a receiver option available. Guess not though.

If you can't get adequate signal strength how can you say this is the only place you can get all three?

a diseqc switch doesnt work with DirecTV. You need a 22k switch

Because when the pro installed it he checked all possible locations. He even mounted a roof mount in a different location before deciding on the current location.

I've never used one of those. Can it be used in place of the diseqc on my invacom?

 

[Mr Tony]

yes. I used a 22k switch with a Invacom quad with no issues

 

[LordAlex]

yes. I used a 22k switch with a Invacom quad with no issues

Cool...so do I turn the disq ports off in the antenna setup on my pansat and turn the 22Khz on? Then both lines from the invacom will be seen by the pansat?

 

[Mr Tony]

correct

 

[LordAlex]
