2-way DiSEqC switch 4-way DiSEqC switch with attached coaxial cables.. DiSEqC (/ ˈ d aɪ s ɛ k, d aɪ ˈ s ɛ k s i /; [citation needed] short for Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a special communication protocol for use between a satellite receiver and a device such as a multi-dish switch or a small [1] dish antenna rotor.
It was retroactively named the "DISH 300" when legal and satellite problems forced delays of the forthcoming DISH 500 systems. It uses one LNB to obtain signals from the 119°W orbital location, [ 85 ] and was commonly used as a second dish to receive additional high-definition or international programming from either the 148°W or 61.5°W ...
In 1976 Taylor Howard built an amateur system, which consisted of a converted military surplus radar dish and a satellite receiver designed and built by Howard, for home satellite reception.

A satellite finder (or sat finder) is a satellite field strength meter used to accurately point satellite dishes at communications satellites in geostationary orbit. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] Professional satellite finder meters allow better dish alignment and provide received signal parameter values as well.
The Hopper with Sling model extends this ability as a built-in feature of the box itself, allowing the ability to watch live TV and DVR recordings online or through the Dish Anywhere mobile app for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, and the ability to "fling" video from a mobile device (such as videos or photos) onto the TV as well. The ...

Two monoblock LNB can be connected to one receiving dish using Multi-satellite techniques. However, the expected results of such connections may vary or be sub-optimal. The results may yield low-level signals from some or all of the satellites or it may work well in certain geographically favorable locations.
