A:AnswerTo answer your question accurately,you should log onto Antennaweb and enter your zip code to see if you will need an antenna more powerful than that for short range.
Orby only provides a short range antenna for the reception of local networks.
A:AnswerRooms 2 - 4 would have to be wired up to the satellite reflector & antenna combination. In addition to plugging them in you would need to call and activate each receiver. Purchasing a diseqc switch/splitter at the time of your Mastec installation appointment could save you some $$$, if your capable of screwing some wires in safe conditions. Note that the Disecqc switch/splitter is specific to ORBY and some free to air equipment and is not compatible with the ones that are commonly available at electronics retailers.
A:AnswerThere are a couple of different pole/mast sizes. You have a 50/50 chance of it being the same size. It’s also possible that the last time a pole/mast was crimped down by the reflector assembly making it oval in shape. That would make it a challenging job to peak... I recommend having a new pole/mast handy, a mast adapter that fits onto the existing pole/mast or paying for the installation.
A:AnswerYou can have up to 4 receivers connected to the dish for the same programming price (one $40 payment would cover all four receivers). It is certainly possible to hook up more receivers to the dish, but you would have to pay another programming fee for boxes 5-8.
A:Answer116.8W Is actually the name of the orbital slot the satellite is in. You can use https://www.dishpointer.com/ to put in your address or GPS location and select the 116.8W SATMEX 8 Satellite to find what direction to point.
A:AnswerOrby used linear signal so lnb will have to be changed. Mounting is different too. I took down the old dish ont the tech put the new one in it's place.
