    Upgrading to a 1000.2...need input please

    Currently I have a 110/199 with a 61.5 wing hookup. They run into a DPP33 switch and then to three receivers.



    Because of the recent requirement to get 129 in order to get the newer HD channels, i'll need to upgrade to a 1000.2

    My understanding is the 1000.2 is not compatible with the DPP33. Will I need a new switch to support 3 receivers or will I be able to run 3 right off the dish. If I want a 4th receiver I'll have to upgrade to a DPP44?

    Also, will it be required to run 3 lines out of the dish?

    3 dual or single lnbs / "w" bracket / 3 lines to the 33 switch

    or

    1000.2 lnb and dish / 3 lines / eliminate the 33 switch (you won't need it with the 1000.2 lnb.)

    What recievers do you have? What sat do your HD locals come from? The answer to these questions will determine what dish configuration you will need, and what switch.

    I think that the locals HD are on 61.5 but I may be mistaken If that is the case replace the 119/110 for a 1000.2 for 119/110/129. the 129 is low in the sky. all four tie into a DPP44
