Dish 500 with Twin LNBF, satellite 61.5

I have acquired an extra Dish 500 with a Twin LNBF. The LNBF has 110 and 119 written on it. I know the use of this system is to connect to both 110 and 119, well can I take this extra items and hook up one LNBF and point the dish to 61.5? Or do I need to acquire a single Legacy LNBF to use? Thanks!!!

I am confused. Do you want to add 61.5 to 110 and 119? If so you need to add a switch and a dual lnb. The switch and dual lnb need to be of the same type as your 110 119 lnb. Either legacy or dishpro. The extra dish will work fine pointing it will be off by 5 degrees or so but no biggie. You can find the parts you need here quite reasonably. Even I have then probably if you need them just be sure to get what you really need as you can't mix legacy and dishpro

Sorry my terms have been off I am kinda new at this....I currently have a Dish 500 with a Y-Adapter to 2 LNBFs, one for 110 other for 119....I got another dish setup for free exactly like what I already have, dish 500, Y adapter, 2 LNBFs.....I wanting to add 61.5 to my setup, can I just take off the Y adapter and slap on one of the 2 extra LNBF and then use it to point to 61.5....of course run a switch for the 2 dishes in the end....I am trying to figure out if I need to buy anything extra to accomplish my goal

In other works, he has two Dish500 setups, and he'd like to use one to add 61.5 to his setup.

I can tell you that my installation (which was done by Dish) is exactly as you describe. I have two Dish500s and the 61.5 LNB is on one of the ends of the "Y" adapter. I take it that the installer knew now to adjust the dish to allow for aiming to the 61.5 slot.

Sounds like you have two legacy lnbs on each dish. If you keep your lnb's just as they are you would need a SW64 switch to make this work. Yes Just use one of the lnb's in the 61.5 dish either one doesn't matter. If you only have one or two receivers I would suggest getting a legacy twin and replacing the 110 119 lnb's with that. Then take the feed(s) from that and feed it into one side of a(the) SW21's you must have and feed your new dish feed(s) into the other side of the SW21's. You will need to do a check switch too for this to work. In the menu on your receiver. If you have more than two receivers now you probably already have a SW64 then all you need to do is hook your new lnb to the SW64

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
