Thread: Dish 500 lnb

But when I run diagnostics, it says there’s a problem with the switch. I get half the channels, and the other half says they are not authorized. Is there a LNB that has a built in switch, or doesn’t need a switch?

What you want is a Dish Twin LNB. The 110 and 119 LNBs are combined into one physical casing and it has two outputs that can output signals from both satellites to up to two receivers without the need of any extra switches. If you need more outputs, the Quad LNB is the same thing but can be connected to up to four receivers.
