I have one dish and I get Nimiq 1.

Can I get Nimiq 2 also with the same dish or do I need another dish. If I can get it with the same dish do I need any thing else other than a LNB. How should the new LNB aligned in relation to the current LNB for Nimiq 1

Thanks

just need an lnb and a bracket to hook up the 2nd lnb to first one, might need a little fine tuning for the best signal/quality,

while the bracket is a good thing to use, this setup can be done without it by using some tie wrap and a little heavy duty glue to stick the two lnbs together, I've done it and has worked fine.
Good Luck.

Poser Thank you very much for the useful information. Two more questions

1) I have the diseq switch which I currently use for Nimiq 1, 119 and 148. Can the cable from the new LNB be connected to the same port to which the cable from Nimiq1 is connected or should it be connected to a free port

2) Where should the new LNB be placed relative to the LNB for Nimiq1? To the left or right and any tips on how it should be oriented

Thanks again

Facing the front of the dish, the lower # satellite LNB is always on the left
