Wally, what dish?

[Marlin Snell]

Planning on doing a Wally for camping (Western Arc) and just looking to do a standard dish with it, yes I have experience in aiming dish. What current dish works for a Wally? DPP or DPH? I have searched other threads, but they all end up leading somewhere else.
Thanks,
Marlin

If you're using just one Wally the easiest way to go would be a 1000.2 dish and a DPP LNB.

Ok, and If I ever decided to do 2 Wally's?

Thanks J, What if I ever decided add a second Wally. I'm guessing that's where we get deeper?

A second Wally on a DPH LNB would require a second wire from the dish to the receiver. If you use DPH you can use one wire and a channel stack splitter but that gets a little more complicated.

I'm guessing this one is the DPH hence the "hybrid", and will not work with the single Wally set-up--right?

That will work for one Wally but for a second one you'd need a special splitter.

Awesome, thanks for letting me abuse your intelligence! Very much appreciated!

My setup is two Wallys and a DPP LNB with no other equipment.

Yea, DPP works with two wires from the LNB, one to each Wally.

DPH uses one wire from the LNB to a channel stack splitter then one wire to each Wally from the splitter.

I asked that same question myself and couldn't find an answer anywhere so I took it upon myself to figure it out and here's what I came up with.
The dish Wally will work with the 1000.4 Western/Eastern ark dish with a DPH -LNB if using only one Wally a single wire directly to the Wally and then to the TV worked perfect. If using more than one Wally you must run a direct connection from the dish to each Wally one at a time to activate the Wally once it's activated disconnect the direct connection and use a power pass splitter I found mine at Lowe's for $7 one wire from the dish to the splitter. And then the outputs to each Wally. This configuration allows you to tune to different channels on each Wally. I hope this information helps someone I sure wish I could have found it to help me
