    Keep loosing channels on 118

    I know they might seem like a long shot but may be worth a shot... 1. Change your receivers so they do NOT use Port 1 on the DPP44. 2. Power and grounding: - Recheck the grounding for each dish and receiver - Use a small UPS (Belkin 350 or so) at the DPP44 and one of the receivers

    Wing Dish 1000 w/I-adapter & DP single - Would this work?

    If results with 1000 dish are not satisfactory, you can use a 24" round. It has yielded excellent results for me. Google '24" antenna "D" type'. Good luck.

    Sat 129 help

    24" From SC at 129W - Good Results slicked, Elevation for 129 is significantly lower than 110 and 119, which may play a role especially if ou have large tree branches in the line of site vicinity. 129W's weaker TPs are probably compounding the problem. I find it unlikely that a 1000.2...

    Seattle HD Locals are on 110W/TP4 Reiterating a previous post... Seattle HD Locals are on 110W/TP4. Currently available are KOMO, KIRO and KING. KCPQ not available at this time. No need for either 61W or 129W unless you are seeking other channels.

    Living in the northwest & 61.5

    Montana is fringe to deep fringe for 61W. You will most likely need a larger dish to receive 61W. Your best bet is to find someone close to your location pointing to 61W and get real-life advise on what will be needed to receive 61W reliably. If I were to take a stab at it, I'd have to...

    Low signal from 110 sat

    Check your mounting pole for plumb on BOTH N/S and W/E axis, verify skew and elevation per tables provided and re-peak. I use TP2/12239MHz for first pass peak, then find the lowest signal TP on 119 and second pass peak. IMO, when you have your hardware plumb and the skew/elevation per tables...

    Dish 1000 + switch options

    I'd strongly recommend the DPP44 due to power concerns and flexibility. if you intend to distribute the signal to more than 1 receiver, the DPP44 is the way to go. Worth every penny. For 1 receiver, you could alternatively use PASSIVE (non-powered) 4x1 diseqc and 22KHz switches if your...

    Dp 44 switch

    What about 119W??? 3ABN is present on 61W and 129W. Typically you get 61W or 129W, especially if you need 118W in addition to 110/119. Otherwise it'd be a 5 orbital config...

    Dish 1000 and 118

    118W uses circular polarity, how can you use a SuperDish LNB which is linear to pick up circular polarity signals efficiently? Also, you will need a larger reflector for 118W. Your best bet is to go with a D1000+.

    Which is better for 129 sat

    A 1000+ gives you the equivalent perf of an 18". Get a 24" for 129W. I use one from SC pointing thru brush and it resolved all signal issues on all TPs, SD and HD. The one mentioned a few posts back has a "D" shaped LNB holder perfect for snug DN LNB fit.

    DPP44 Help

    Before you go out and spend the $ on quality diplexers, I'd ask an electrician to quote you a new (or two while at it) RG-6 and decide based on that. The diplexer option would be my last resort. You will need diplexers rated 2.2GHz or better and power passthru on the High Frequency side...

    DPP44 Help

    Correct, you must run separate RG-6 coax for each LNB into the sat in ports of the DPP44. If you still have the install booklet, it comes with some nice diagrams. I dont have any on me right now, or I'd attach... Disconnect the 129W from the DPP Twin and run a new line to Sat Port 3 of the...

    DPP44 Help

    That's great news... Do you have: 119W to Sat 1 input 110W to Sat 2 input 129W to Sat 3 input? If you make connection modifications, please ENSURE DPP44 is unplugged or you can blow LNBs very easily. If you can, ground the DPP44 to KNOWN GOOD ground. If unsure, leave alone for now.

    DPP44 Help

    Check LNB for DishPro Logo The DPP44 requires DishPro LNBs while I believe your receivers connected directly can handle Legacy and DP LNBs. Can you check if you have a DP LNB?

    Losing 129 daily

    If the other sats are doing well and 129 has problems on all receivers, I'd start by verifying the cabling and grounding to 129. Are you not running 119 at all???

    Upgrading to get 129

    If your receivers are DP capable the DPP + Second Dish should work fine. I am not familiar with the receiver models so I will let someone else confirm that part. If you aready have a 24" dish, I'd definitely give that a try before going larger for 129. I think you'll be more than fine. Here...
