    Polarity on 61.5 wing dish

    skew for 61.5 Yes maybe it seems. On the front of the 500 LNB is printed Dish P Plus...a twin LNB molded into one. One other issue is I am under testing only, last night the 500 dish finally arrived (A used dish). So I quickly ran what cable I had on hand from the 1000.2 to the 500. My...

    Polarity on 61.5 wing dish

    Currently I use a 1000.2 Dish attached to a VIP722. I have purchased all the equipment to avoid being lease locked. Additionally I've installed a 500 DPP wing dish adding the 61.5 satellite, after running the switch scan a signal is reported. My question is, does the wing dish need to be...

    Substituting 129 for 61.5 satellite

    Unfortunately it does not, unless one purchases a package that way. If one desires more than 3 recievers fed from the dish, then a 44 switch is required. Also, I had read on another thread, were someone put foil over the unused 129 LNB, that way the reciever would'nt get confused between a...

    Substituting 129 for 61.5 satellite

    substitute 129 for 61.5 Thanks much for the info... Was wondering if I had to use a DPP LNB. Now that you say, the 1000.2 uses DPP technology, so it makes sense now. Apparently there must of been a technology change, also I cannot use any older switches other than the 44 switch. I have 3...

    Substituting 129 for 61.5 satellite

    I have VIP722 & 1000.2 Dish Network equipment. Currently I have aligned the 1000.2 picking up 110 & 119 with decent & stable signal levels. Once this new purchased receiver took a new download, a message prompt notified saying the displayed signal levels will be lower than originally...
