Well I bypassed my 1000.2 connecting the new wing dish directly to the receiver and it works. Apparently in my case I am not getting enough current to power up the lnbf on the wing dish when I connect it to the 1000.2 lnb in port. I guess I have one of the power hogs. Time to go back to plan A...

Hi MikeD-CO5, I have 500 dish with I adapter and LNBF hooked to the in port of the 1000.2 lnb. I checked the voltage and I have 18v to the lnbf on the 500 dish. I have a eagle aspen satellite finder connected to the 500 lbnf on the 500 dish. Should I still get a signal on the meter even if I...

Thanks for the quick reply MikeD-CO5! So simple and cheap. I have ordered the parts from a Satelliteguys sponsor.

Hi There, I live in the middle of three acres all wooded. I have a VIP612 and a 1000.2 ant (the one that looks at 110, 119 and 129 birds). Everything worked great except trees grow and I have lost the signal on 129. The 1000.2 antenna is right on the tree line. I have room to move backward...

Yes, Thanks
