Hi, unfortunately (because of tight quarters) I can only use my one Winegard 76cm. I formerly used it for FTA, but have since subscribed to DN and I am trying to retrofit it as a Dish1000 to use with my Dish942 HD-PVR. I've also got a lot of dish related junk lying around, so I might as well make use of them. 
Here's what I've done so far:
1. I've removed the plastic covers off a DPP Twin LNB as well as a DP LNB (dual feed).
2. I plan to use my 2 LNB bracket (again from FTA days) to mount the DP LNB for 129.
Here's what I plan to do:
1. I plan to put the 119 part of my DPP Twin LNB in the center feed position.
2. I plan to skew the 110 part of my DPP Twin at the 4 o'clock position to the 119.
3. Hopefully I will be able to tune both 110 and 119 after doing this.
4. If step 3. is successful, then I plan to mount my DP LNB beside the 119 with my lnb bracket, hoping that I'll be able to bring in 129.
Hopefully, I'll be able to bring everything in with 1 cable coming into the house and using my DPP Separator for the 2 satellite dish inputs on my Dish942.
What do you guys think? Has anyone actually attempted this with a Winegard 76cm dish?
Your comments and ideas would be greatly appreciated!

2 out of 3
I have read another thread very much like this and it says that what you are trying to do is only possible if you have 3 individual LNB's to pin point the bird separately. One for each sat due to the fact that the 76 is larger and the distance from the dish is larger then the units have to be spread farther apart to pick up the 3 sats.

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....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.
The mod is DVB-S2 8PSK with FEC 5/6.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference.
The Charter/Spectrum tv app has been updated to make it downloaded with more tv brands. I recently added it to my LG Oled tv.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Now after reading this story I walked away thinking that this is being blown out of proportion because of the incredibly low numbers of those affected.....BUT....I've read posts by some of you who are taking this drug so I figured it was worth posting.
