77 question

[levibluewa]

If one had a 110-119-129 setup with vip receivers (211s),...could one put up another dish and add 77 or does that require some special authorization.

IF you have a 1000.2 sat dish, all you need to do is run a side sat for 77 sat into the IN port of the lnb and run the check switch. You're all set to go. No special authorization needed.

No sure why you would want it, what would you gain?

For me I get locals off 77. Hard to tell the location of OP.

Maybe Locals ? Really isn't anything else.

Just a quick check of a few channels, I see C-span, Earth, NASA on 77

There are also the cd and audio music channels.

There are also the cd and audio music channels.

Yes, but all those channels are also 110/119. There isn't anything on 77 or 72.7 that isn't on 110/119.

Scenario #2

...with a 1000+ (110-118.75-119-129), dpp 44 switch, 2-211 receivers, would one need anything extra to add 77? Is there an "input" on the 1000+ to add a 5th sat location?

Would there be a receiver conflict in deciding which sat to pull a signal from...?

Thanks in advance.

Fox Soccer SD is also on the 77

Some local markets are on 77 in HD. I use a 1000.2 and hookup 77 to the lnb out. I tried an 18 inch dish but it would pixelate due to interference to neighboring satellite so I put up a SuperDish and am as good as gold now. The one thing I do not like is that it collects snow easily.
