2-Dish 500's for 61.5,72,110,119??

[SatboyZ]

I am trying to get 72 without having to buy more equipment. Currently have a dish 500 (DP quad) on 110/119 and a dish 300 (dp Dual) on 61.5(for hd locals) connected to two DP21 switches for 2 VIP receviers. Can I replace the 61.5 with another dish 500 my dad is not using for 61.5/72 and still use the dp 21's to connect them? We currently sub to Absolute but may upgrade soon.

Thanks
Steve

There is already a thread about this:

Basically, you can do it, but your signal strengths will be lower than if you got a real eastern arc dish 1000.4. Please read the thread that I posted above. All the info you need is in that thread.
