I currently have a dish pointed at 110w ( works fine) and I am also planning to get 119w with an extra lnbf on the same dish (18 inch)? I was just wondering if any one has ever tried one of these lnbf brackets that are sold at the store.Is the bracket really useful or is it just waste of time and money? By the way, according to the store website it works.
Features:
Easy attachment for your existing 18" round dish Optimized for Dishnetwork 119 and 110, or ExpressVU 91 and 82 For use with 2 DSS LNBs The 110 or 81 LNB will be held by the dishes arm while the 119 or 91 LNB is held by the bracket Similar to the dish 500 setup except compatible with all receivers and no need for skew adjustment No loss of signal quality on the 119 or 91 LNB compared to the 110 or 82 LNB
If the bracket is not useful what other alternative do I have? Thanks a lot in advance.
LK, posted a pic once where all u need to do is put the 119 lnb I think on the right side and back about 2 inches... tape it, tiewrap it, or glue it... not as pretty as the holder, but cheaper. Search for "poor mans dish"
I have used these brackets and they work well..For ease of installation, they are great..However Dante's home grown method may actually work better for signal quality once you find the absolute best placement for the second LNB for your particular location.
Forgot to mention..the claim of no signal loss on 119...you may have to play with it for awhile before you can really get equal signal quality for both 110 and 119...It's not quite as easy the ad implies :-)
David, from what you say, I can concur...I get 90% for 110 and 75% for 119. Have thought of climbing on the roof to try and fine tune but am satisfied with what I have.
