72.7 + 61.5 + 110 ?

[Remington]

I'm trying to find the easiest solution (and cheap).

First, what's on 77? Only foreign languages?

I have 2 Bell 20" with legacy lnbs. (SW64 are hard to find and pricy)
I plan to buy a vip612 only.
129 could be hard to get here for me.

So I thought 72.7 and 61.5 would get what I need. The wife would like to have the spanish package also though.
The 2 dishes are already installed. Just need to align one to eastern sats and change the lnbs for a DPP Twin to receive 61.5 and 72.7

Now to get 110 I suppose I have to find a DP single or dual... DP Twin would not work in the DPP Twin, right? (Or a Legacy)?

Thanks

There's really nothing on 77 other than some local channels for some markets. You should be all set with just 61.5 and 72.7. Adding 110 would just bring in some of the same programming as the other two sats.

Ok thanks, wasn't sure what was on 77 exactly.
I'm pretty sure I need 110 for the spanish channels though.....

Everything that's on 110 would be mirrored on either 61.5 or 72.7 so I still think you should be all set. What Spanish channels are you trying to get specifically?

The List at the top of the page is a link that will get you to a page that has the subscriber list. It will show what is on each of the E birds.

Thanks, thought the List was for FTA only. That was good info. It seems actually that the spanish channels are on 77 (and on 110) so I'll need to point one lnb to one of those.
Just need to find a DP dual or single.

All the Spanish channels on 110 are also on 77W so you can use either satellite

why not just get a EA dish?

I'm trying to find a cheaper solution, if possible but of course I'll consider to buy and install a 1000.4 , it all depends how much the DPP Twin + DP dual\single would cost me.

I think you will have problems getting a Dpp+ on a dish 500 to recieve 61.5 and 72. best bet is 1k4

Many have done it. They are 8.5 apart and 110 & 119 are just 9 so it is quite possible.

might wanna check your 2nd grade math there

72-61.5=10.5 degrees apart

Damn where's that kid that did the math. He gonna have to pay for that.: Anyway back to the point It can be done w/ a dish 500. It will be a slight compromise though and slight loss of signal from each bird. You will just be off 3/4 of a degree off on each side. Try it and see if you get enuff signal if not go for the more expensive dish.
