For my 12-unit condo building, I'm trying to get the board to approve putting a single satellite antenna on the roof. It would be great if that one dish could get both DirecTV and Dish Network, and people could hook into either one using splitters. But I think the Sat C kit would foil that plan, since it involves using a different LNB for the 110 satellite, which would make that LNB incompatible with the Dish receivers. Also the bridging of the 110 and 101 LNBs with the Sat C kit will further foil compatibility with Dish.
I know that I could probably just not use the Sat C kit and instead put a Dish LNB in the 110 position, and that would probably be successful; I could split the 6 cables from the LNBs with splitters into 2 multiswitches, one for Dish and DirectTV. But that won't do for me, since I need Sat C.
I know that the single antenna won't receive Dish 61.5 or 148; that is a different problem but solvable since people can mount separate dishes on their patios for 148 if they want to (patios can't receive 101, 110, or 119 due to the geometry of our building).
So am I correct that there is no way of getting both Dish and DirecTV (with Sat C) from one dish?
