Opinion for Set Up Please

[senrab]

Hey guys,
I would just like to throw this out there and see if there is a better way to have my sats set up.

Currently I have 3 dishes on the back of my house:
1 is running 91(2 lines from LNB to SW44 switch in the house)
1 is running 82(2 lines from LNB to SW44 switch in the house)
1 is running 110 and 119(one line for each running to a disqc switch in the house).

I am going to be setting up my dish that is running 91 to have both 91 and 82(the dish is meant for that but where the bell guys installed it a couple of years ago before I had HD, put it in a spot that it can't skew properly to hit 82(hits the wall)).

I then will have a free dish with no lines running to the house.

Is there any way I can use my extra dish to get 129 but not have to run another cable? I'm moving in a couple of months and I don't really want to have 5 lines running into the house. I would rather save the cable for my new house.

Do I NEED to have 2 lines from LNB from each LNB(91 and 82) running to the SW44 switch? The SW44 switch I currently have says it is not meant to be left outside. Is my only option to get a switch for outside?

Thanks for any help!

Yes, you do.

You could combine the line from 129 with either 110 or 119 using an Ecoda 22K switch, or an SW21 outside.....

What type of STBs do you have and how many ?

BTW: You can mount a SW44 outside, providing it is inside a weatherproof enclosure.

I have a dreamlink HD for my DN and a bev receiver that I sub. I'd like to keep them separate so I always have something when DN is down.

If your LNBs are all Legacy/Standard then you can use that free dish for 129 and connect it to the 3rd port of the DiSEqC switch(with 119/110). Sounds like you wish to keep 91 & 82 separate on the SW44 and that is fine.
