Someone please refresh my memory on Dish 500 and DPP Plus.

Our zip is 29376, but due to tall trees around the house we can only see Western Arc birds. Our dish is 100’+ from the house.
Unfortunately our local HD signal is on EA. If I add another dish about 70’+/- I can see 61.5.
I have an extra Dish 500 with a dual DPP Plus. Any reason I can’t use one of the eyes for 61.5?
Receivers 622 and 211k.

There is no such thing as a dual DPP LNB; I think you have a DPP twin. I have read somewhere that you can't hook up a twin to a 1000.x antenna. It must be a DP dual (or single), that is, a single LNB.

You're right a twin, not dual. Do that all the time.

So what is your primary antenna that you are going to take the D500 w/DPP twin into? I have used a lot of D500 with a DP twin and went into a D500 with a DPP twin.

It's a 1K whatever for WA installed about 4 years ago. My 622 is failing so was going to go to Hopper but only have one cable into house with OTA diplexed in and I don't want to lose OTA. Right now with temps in 20's and snow and ice I'm not going to try to pull another wire 100'+ thru the conduit. Can set a post and leave wire from there to the 1k on ground til spring.
