Thanks Timberwolf for a simple answer

Iceberg, I don't know much as you can probably tell. If I change to a DP twin, will I need to run two cables from the twin to the DP34? And if I find out the distance is not too great can I run the 77 thru a DP Plus instead? I currently have the DP Plus on my 500 dish.

Nope not after HD. Just some locals. My 77 dish setup works great. Good signal and the locals are there that I was looking for. I just wasn't sure about the switch. Scubasteve said to use a DP and not a DPP. Is that what I need to do?

Iceberg, No LOS for 129

Can I use a DP 34 to combine the signals from a dish 500 and a single dish set up for 77? Distance is too great to run the 77 dish to the 500. However both are close enough to my receiver if I can use the DP 34. Will it work? I have a VIP 211K receiver.

My mailing and location address is 26283

MattG, Since the distance between the 2 zips referenced in your reply is only about 12 miles or less, and I am actually located about half way between the two, am I going to be locked in to only being able to get locals from 129? Can you please clarify this a little more for me? Like why I...

Thanks for the replies. I'm not all that interested in HD as my TV is not HD capable (older model). I'm pretty sure that my locals are on 77 but is there any place that I can verify that??? Really just wanting to know if my old lnb's would work with the vip222 and that was answered here. I want...

I'm located in NE part of WV (25283). My question has to do with getting locals off of Sat 77. Where I am, I have LOS issues with Sat 129. Wanting to get my locals off Sat 77. Can I use my old dish 500 with an I adapter with one lnb to do this? My lnb is several years old but still good. I...

Okay, I'm having problems with sat 129 at my cabin here in the mts of WV. I currently have an older dish 500 (taller than it is wide, I think it's about 21"T and 19" W) I have an I adapter and a single lnb. Not able to get a real lock on the signal. Now that the leaves are down, I have a clear...

Thanks everyone for all the input. After spending a week at my cabin next week and fiddlin with things, I will repost if I have anything worth posting To BHelms, Yes I do have an "I" yoke on my dish 500 and I do think it works better than a Y for receiving just the one satellite..

I am wanting the locals from 129 and I do not have any of the mpeg-4 equipment. I am located near the Elkins area of WV and all I would like to do is get the locals on standard TV. I am going to play around some next week with the different dishes and see what I can find out. To Voyager6 - you...

Have a line of sight (kind of). There are some trees several hundred yards away that are on the horizon. But the leaves are off now and I think that the actual receive angle for the dish is above the tree line. I'm just wondering why I can get a signal but can't get it strong enough for a lock...

I am in WV and having problems getting 129 due to the mountains here and the sats elev. I have a dish 500 currently with a single lnb for Sat 129. I can get a signal but not enough to get a solid lock. My question is: I have a 1000.2 that I am not using and I was wondering if I used a single lnb...

OK, I'm a total newbie here. I have a cabin in the mts. of WV (zip 26250) where I currently receive 110 and 119 on a dish 500. I want to add 129 on a separate dish with a single lnb. I have 4 dishes available for this install, a 300, a 500, a 1000 and a superdish. My question is, which would...
