129 and 118.7

[nsaspook]

I have a 4 SAT/SW64 setup for 110/119/148/121 now. Subbed to OLD HD pack and Viva Pinoy Pack on 121. Have two 811's and two 3900 receivers. I installed a 1000.2 and plan to upgrade the receivers to something mpeg4 but want to receive the Viva pack on 118.7. Is there a stand-alone dish for 118.7 that can connect to the 1000.2 port?

Unfortunately no. You will need a D1000+ kit. The downside of this is that you will also need a DPP44 switch to make all the connections.

If you have a Super dish (121) get a dish 500+/1000+ LNB assy (118/119) and put on superdish.
You will need to upgrade from the old 811, all this is DP

The 811 is DP, and if the DPP44 is used, the 3900s can be connected without an adapter.

Can I just replace the 1000.2 lnbf assy with a 1000+ assy The Dish Store - Powered by Metro25
, add the 129 side lnb The Dish Store - Powered by Metro25
then use the dpp44 The Dish Store - Powered by Metro25 to connect it all?

If you'll find special adapter - the 1K.2 arm is too small for hold + type LNBF.
You can use 1m (30"+) FTA dish for the combo.

Other issue for new config is 148W - as 5th signal, there is no easy way to connect 5 sats to multiple receivers. Also recheck your switch - SW64 is legacy switch for THREE sats.

It's SW21 +SW64 combo "SW21 4-SAT" There is logic in most receivers for it but it's not the most reliable setup.

I have moved the 105 to 121.

That's important details when you describe your setup. Don't omit it.
We have a deal with HW ans SW what required correct definitions.

Also describing in detail your proposal will cut our guessing and your waiting time.
