Can anyone explain, because I've been reading and can't seem to find,
how to hook up (2) receivers to (1) dish, that's capable of receiving both 110 & 119 Sat. could someone please explain what is needed as I have 2 pansat 2500a, not hooked , what dish and/or switches do I need, and if I've over looked something thats already posted, please direct.
p.s. what would I need to receive Sat. 91 also.
Thanks in advance

i believe all you need to do is run a line from the RF output of the first dish to the RF input of the second.

I am pretty sure that you cannot hook up 2 receivers in one lnb, unless the dish is motorized and you can adjust it to whichever signal you want to receive, either 110 or 119. If it is a fixed lnb and you want to hook up 2 receivers to watch tv (ex. one upstairs and one downstairs) then you will not be able to do it because each receiver will request a different frequency from the lnb. The highest equested frequency by one of the receivers will dominate the lower requested frequency, thus rendering the other receiver useless. If you really want to hook up 2 receivers in one dish, then you must buy a dish with 2 lnbs (one for left-handed-circular-polarization or right-handed-circular-polarization). That is the only way you can hook up 2 receivers in one dish. Your best bet is to buy 2 standard dishes and install one for 110 and the other for 119, and get a diseqc to split the two signals into one receiver. I am also a newbie, but i have been reading a lot of forums lately, and this is what i picked up. If any of the experts here wants to correct any of the suggestions i made then freely do so. :D

i almost forgot your question about sat 91. The answer for that is go to www.lyngsat.com and find the (TP) transponder frequency. The type of dish you are going to use depends on the frequency. Well i have no knowledge about sat 91, but is this a foreign signal? If it is a signal in North America like DN then you can use a standard lnb dish no problem. But give me more info about it.
