Adding 129 to the 110/119/61.5 mix-legacy eqpt?

[philhu]

I currently have 3 dishes pointing at 110, 119, and 61.5. I found a place in my yard for 129.

I have them connected using SW-21X switches, with 119 and 110 connected to one sw-21x, and 61.5 and the 110/119 wires connected to a second sw-21x. Then that output to my 622. And I do 2 of these for the dual tuner.

Can I add 129 to the mix using this legacy eqpt? so 110/199 on one sw-21x, 129/61.5 on a second, then these 2 wires combined to a 3rd sw-21x, so the output has 61.5/129/119/110????

Right now, using my 2 sw-21x switches, the 622 calls it: "sw-21 3 sat"

What are you going to gain by adding 129? HD programming is duplicated on 61.5 that you are already getting. I think you would have to switch to Dish Pro to economically pick up 4 sat locations.

Well, nothing I guess. I was just curious as to if it is possible. I guess the question is if a 4 sat system is possible with legacy equipt?

I will be losing my 61.5 soon (It is in my neighbors yard, and he is moving end of August), so I was going to get 129 and play with it in the mix.

I think the only way to do Legacy style is via a SW64/SW21 combo

If you try this I'd be interested in knowing whether or not you can tune to the even Tp channels on 129. I have a legacy 110/119/129 setup and can't get any even Tp 129 channels (Rave Kungfu ... a fwe others).

I am convinced this is a software bug on the 622

Being an Installer myself, i would stick with 61.5, 129 STILL is low powered. The highest i have gotten that damn thing is 88. But as in the K.c DMA if you are using 61.5 verse 129, you are losing some hd locals. Double edge sword i think...


And don't even get me started on this crappy lookin new 500 plus and 1000...lol

the 129 is hard to get high signal on if you ajust the skew it will go up abit
