power inserter

[skeptic®]

Using dreamlink T4 currently before getting an HD box. Putting up new 24" elliptical dish with bracket for 110, 119, 129. Will I need a power inserter with T4 or after with T5? New LNB's mounted. Advise?

The power supply in both units are the same so if your LNB's are working fine with the t4 you should be fine.
I know of people using same size dish with standard 11250 lnb's with those same 3 birds and no issues.

If the LNB's are 3 separate LNB's (and not the one big one for 110,119,129 from Dish) fed into a Diseqc switch to one receiver then you should be OK.

Some (but not all) Diseqc switches only power the LNB attached to the port that is addressed, if the switch power's all 3 LNB's at the same time you could get into DC curret problems, check online for the spec's on the LNB's you are using and see what the DC current is, then add them together, if the total along with about 50 mA for the switch (or lower in some, you can check it's spec) goes above the DC current rating on the LNB input jack (usually 500 mA) on your receiver you could over time do some damage to the recivers power supply circuit to the LNB.
