seperate dish through dish 1000?

[jawja]

The dish 1000 won't get 129 which I need for the atlanta HD locals. My question is, if I set up a dedicated dish just for 129 can I run it through the 1000 dish some way ??? Thanks....................

yes

you will need a DishPro dual (or single) LNB and hook it to the IN input of the DPPTwin that they will put on the D1000.

Yes. Disconnect the coax from the 129 DP Single going to the DPP Twin. Mount the 2nd dish and run a coax from that LNB to the DPP Twin. Then clear the switch matrix, and run Check Switch again.

Will an old Voom dish work ??

Will an old Voom dish work ??

It could, with a Dish LNB.

 

[jawja]

So the LNB that came with the Voom dish won't work??

 

[mdonnelly]

As I understand it, the VOOM LNB will only work with legacy switches, not DP switches.

 

[Mr Tony]

you need a DishPro LNB...has to have a "DP" on it

can he not use the dp lnb for 129 that is on the d1000 ? or is it "fixed" to the d1000 ?

I am in the same boat. My new DISH 1000 will NOT pick up a signal for 129. I can only assume the path to 129 is obscured by my neighbor's tree. I have two old platters lying around, and want to use the LNB that came with the 1000 to find another site on my property where I CAN hit 129. But where can I find the numbers for pointing a 300 dish at the 129 bird?

he could as long as his Dish has either the "D" type holder or an "I" adapter if its one of the rectange LNB holders.

put your zip in the bottom to get latitude/longitude and select 129 as satellite

Will the numbers I get there work with a Dish 500 with an I adaptor? Does the skew need to be adjusted for use with a single lnb pointing to 129?

Yes, but remember - ANY published numbers are jsut a starting point.

Set skew to 90.
