4 Sats - 1 Dish

[Turd Fergeson]

I seen the pictures from the Mad Scientist and decided to try it. Works great. I also seen the questions about a DP 34 and a DP 21 working together. This also works great. The sats are 105, 110, 119, 129 Voom, core programing and locals all on 1 dish. Here are some pics if any one is interested.

sweet

what kind of signals do you get on 129 (and where ya located...seems like closer to the borders of the US, the worse it is)

 

[Turd Fergeson]

South Alabama
119- 120
110- 120
105- 82
129- 100

Awesome... What is that you used to connect the lnb's?

 

[Turd Fergeson]

It a peice of old a/c duct work that I cut to fit and attached with J B Weld

Thats a pretty good simple idea... I didnt have a lot to work with when i tried it. Zip ties and a wood block did the trick.. sheet metal will definitely let you tweak it easier. I only had my signal in the mid 80's.. it could be the difference in location i guess.. but if you've got around a hundred signal could you measure the distance between the 119 and 129 lnb's?

 

[Turd Fergeson]

The distance between is 1.5 inches. Standing behind the dish the 129 lnb angles slighty inward and upward. maybe that will help

Good job! Now what I need is a nice config like this for a Dish 500. :

We could see dishes like this in the future for more HD.

I have a SuperDish 121 but I would like to get a satellite either pointed at 129 or 61.5 for Voom. I am leasing my equipment so I'm not sure that E* would be excited about me installing another lnb. What would be the best solution to get these channels? I could get a Dish500 for free if needed. It is still on the back of my parent's house but they don't use it.

Has anyone tried to use the d1000 backet on the 500 dish?

i saw them available on dishstore and looked like it should work

If it works at all, it won't work well.

D1000 is wider, and the arm is shorter.

Therefore, the 110 & 129 LNBs won't have as much reflective pan, and none of them will be at the focus point.
