Question:

Can 1 dish with 2 lnbf's known as Nimiq 1 and the other Nimiq 2 get signal to satellite at the same time?
I installed my new dish myself, 2 lnbfs on 1 dish, and complicates me. 82°W and 91°W cannot get signals at the same time. Bell says it does. It seems like I need 2 dish to do that. 1 dish for HD and the other for standard for 1 tv.

Answers:

A-Best: Yes it can. That is the way satellite dishes work. The dish reflects the signals from satellites in the general region it is pointed to. Nimiq 1/2 are separate satellite locations at 91 and 82 degrees, so separate LNBFs are needed to get both. An SW21 or SW44 is used to switch both LNBFs to the receiver. The Bell dish is set up to point at a place which the Nimiq 1/2 are amongst the satellites, and where the LBNFs are places on the dish, to catch the respective reflective from those satellites. Look at the dish from the side and you will see the LNBF does not point square into the dish, but at an angle. The signal fromthe satellite comes from the opposite angle. The East/West angle works the same way. Millions of satellite dish systems are set up like that, so it works.
