| [TV] Satellite Dish Question I'm currently looking to upgrade to HD programming from Bell and I'm wondering if a new Dish is needed for the HD Signal.
I understand that a new LNB may be needed as the HD Receiver and HD PVR Plus Receiver have dual tuners but I am wondering if the current dish is fine and just the LNB needs replacing. |

canada | Should just have to add a second LNB and some switches (SW21 or SW44) if you've only got a single right now; as the HD channels as split across both sattelites. If your dish was properly installed; should be aligned fine for both.
Keep in mind, this is based on 2-3 year old info; that's when I ditched Bell for Rogers... |

They just add another lnb or switch out the one you have with a dual .No big deal.Takes just a few minutes to do |

Bell also came out when we bought a new HD receiver and installed a new dish and dual LNB for no charge. I think they also combined the LNBs on one cable into the house. (Parents, so I have not seen the setup, but I know they didn't install a new cable). |
