Background info before installation - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I am hoping this guide will help people see and understand the different types of installations possible with ExpressVu.

Bell currently has satellites in two locations at 82 Deg. and 91 Deg. In many of these diagrams you will see 119 Deg. and 110 Deg. These are Dish Networks satellite locations and 110 should be treated as 82 Deg. and 119 should be treated as 91 Deg. This guide covers installations for both 82 and 91 satellites. If you are hooking up just 91 then most likely the best switches for you are the sw34 or sw38. I will try to explain some installations of partial use of 82 on HD only receivers.

It is important to remember that dual tuner receivers require 2 lines to work properly and these diagrams will reflect that.

This is a Dish without the lnb.

Single and dual lnbs. DP lnb's just have the letters DP on them.
