Here's a website that has a bunch of documents.

- DishPro Plus Technology
- Switches
- Separators
- Installation Guides & Examples
- Diplexers
- Dish Types
- etc...
- Legacy setup is limited to 100 feet with good cable.
- DishPro & DishPro Plus setups are limited to 200 feet with RG6 cable rated at least to 2150MHz.
- DPP-44 Switch will allow you to run one cable from it to a ViP622, when you use a DPP Separator. Otherwise, you will need two cables for a dual tuner receiver.
- DP-34 and DPP-44 each has 4 outputs to feed 4 receivers/tuners, but the DPP-44 could feed 4 dual tuner receivers.
- Home Node. Will allow you to feed your sat signal and either a Cable or OTA signal to each satellite receiver. However, splitter/combiners will also work.
NOTE: Unless you get very high tech with modulators, etc..., you will probably not be able to feed both OTA and Cable to each location (but not imposible).

Provided when you say DishNet, you mean Dish Network.

You should be able to look at your current receiver and see what satellites it is picking up. However....

- Most of the basic programming is on Sat 119 and Sat 110.
- Most SD locals are on 110 Spotbeams, with some SD locals on 119. Some locals are on 105, 61.5 and 148. I don't think 121 has any more locals. There may be other Sats. Sats 129 and 118.7 has HD locals, and I believe others do as well.
- HD Programming (except HD locals) are duplicated between Sats 129 and 61.5.
- I think Latino Programming is basically on 119 and 110.
- International Programming is usually on one of the following, but may also be duplicated on 61.5, 121, 118.7, and 148.

Dish types:

- Dish 300 = is used for a single DBS orbital location 61.5, 110, 119, 129, 148
- Dish 500 = is used for 2 DBS orbital locations at 119 & 110, but can be used as a Dish 300.
- Dish 1000 = 119, 110, & 129
- SuperDish 121 = 119, 110, & (FSS) 121
- SuperDish 105 = 119, 110, & (FSS) 105
- Dish 1000.2 = 119, 110, & 129
- Dish 500+ = 119, 110, & (FSS) 118.7
- Dish 1000+ = 119, 110, (FSS) 118.7, & 129

Do not mix legacy LNBF and DishPro LNBF.
LNBF for 105, 121, and 118.7 are different than the LNBF's for the rest.

Do not mix legacy Switches with DishPro/DishPro Plus Switches.

Give your Zip Code and Programming desires (& locals), someone will tell you what they feel is the best dish route. Also, what is currently installed/owned, or did you just move to a third location?

p.s. Welcome to the club.

EDIT: Also, there are many threads, with some of the common ones at the top of each forum; and with the search, you may find some that are useful.

Thank you Smity!

Wow! I have a lot of reading to do. Will get back on the current system, too late now.

Thanks again!

New dish Retailer

hello,

I am a new dish retailer looking for a national installer network preferably with spanish speakers.

any help?

thank you!

Web,

May I suggest you delete your above post, and start a new thread. This technical sub-forum should do, or maybe the main Dish Network forum. If you deal with Dish and DirecTV, then maybe the forums for both DBS providers.

Maybe use "Looking for National Installer Network" for the subject.

I'm not the welcome committee, but welcome. Lots of good information here, for both the professional and hobbiest.

Where can I go to get detailed information on the different types of dishes, LNB, satellites, and installation configuration, switches and diplexers, etc?

Here are a couple of EKB pages with links to more information: Switch Selector, Satellites and Orbital Slots
