61.5 and 129, same receiver

[llambert]

I have a subs to Sky Angel on 61.5. I am using an old DTV dish and LNB.
Works fine. I want to add another old DTV dish and LNB to receive my
locals on 129.
I have a Dish Pro rx from Sadoun, I believe the model is 311.
Which switch do I need to buy to hook the two dishes to my rx ?
I am thinking DP-21, which are sold out.
Any comments or suggestions ?

Thanks,
L.L.

nope. Need a SW21 since the dishes/LNB's you described are legacy and not DishPro

Do you have a DIsh at 110/119 too or just 61.5 & 129?

No, just 61.5 and 129.
Some say the DTV LNBs won't work. All I know is the one
I am using now works fine on 61.5 and I have more old
DTV stuff, so would like to use it.
Thanks

DirecTV LNBs are equivalent to Dish Legacy so they will work. D* multi-sat switches are incompatible with E*, so get an SW21.

Thanks for the help guys.
I have ordered a sw21 switch.
I appreciate the info you provide. I have learned
quite a bit by just reading these forums.

BTY, Sky Angel is going to IPTV and Echostar (DishNetwork) has applied to take over it's transponders on 61.5.

Why do people like these always assume we
all have high speed broadband ?

I would think a TV signal would eat a lot of bandwidth.
I also just got Dish/Wild Blue, this scheme would wreck
my FAP.
