Replace Dish 500 with 1000.2 with 2 cables from dish

[zieltom]

Currently I have a Dish 500 and would like to upgrade to a 1000.2 Dish so I can receive HD channels. Is it possible to install the 1000.2 dish with the 2 cables that I already have coming from my 500 and see all three locations (129,119,110) without a third cable going into the house?

Yes. For up to two receivers, single or dual.

Wiring Dish 1000.2 LNB's

So how do the 3 LBN's get wired if you have only 2 wires to start with?

The 1000.2 has a built-in switch for the 3 satellites (119-110-129) and 3 outputs. It also has an input for an extra satellite so the switch could pretty much be a DPP43.
