I've moved into apartment life and have had to settle for a Dish sub for the extended family. While getting ready for BB season, I'm ready to re-set up my motorized dish in the apartment patio.
I'm limited to no drilling due to apartment restrictions and currently have two lines running into the apartment from what I think is a 1000.2 Dish. It has the three LNBs for 110,119, and 129. Apparently it has a built in switch as far as I can see. That being said.....
Could I run FTA and Echostar down one of the lines....separating their signals with a 22k switch? As far as I remember, I don't think Dish Network uses any 22k switching. Therefore.....
Echostar feeds to 0khz side of the Ecoda switch (outside), then FTA motor/dish hooks onto the 22k side. I don't know. Need help here. Trying to avoid running a separate line.
Then...inside...how do I split that signal? High freq. splitter?? multiswitch? Maybe add a 2nd 22k switch inside???? Trying to think here but totally lost.
My receiver is a VIP 722k. Again....with all the moving since July...I've finally settled and my brain is ready to get technical again.
