Upgrading to dual satellite reception

If you already have Bell TV™ and you would like to receive 91°W & 82°W, you need to determine if you currently have:

Dual Satellite Dish (51cm/20")

If you have a 51cm/20inch dish with dual-satellite capability.

  • Your dish has a plastic Y shaped bracket at the end of the arm.
  • The Y bracket holds 1 x LNBF and is capable of holding a second LNBF.
  • The skew on the back of your dish may already be set, otherwise, you will have to re-align your dish after setting the skew properly.
  • If the skew is not set or is set incorrectly, your reception of 82°W will either be very poor or non-existant!

In order to upgrade to dual satellite reception, you will need

  • Dual LNBF to fill the empty slot in your Y bracket.
  • An SW21 switch to combine both satellites to only one receiver or
  • An SW44 switch to combine the signal to multiple receivers.
  • These items are available in kits:

Single Satellite Dish (45cm/18")

If you have a 45cm/18inch dish with single satellite capability, you will need our Elliptical dish upgrade kit and an SW21 or an SW44 switch based on how many receivers require 91°W and 82° reception.
