Advice needed for 622 hardware upgrade
I figure I’d ask the experts here to make sure my work order reflects the proper hardware for my 622 upgrade I plan to order April 1. Don't want the installer to make two trips like last time.
Current setup in central Virginia
Dish 500 pointed at 100 and 119 with a legacy quad lnb (not dish pro)
Dish 921 uses two of sat feeds
Dish 508 uses feed #3
Dish 4000 legacy receiver uses feed #4
Wanted
A dish 1000 won’t work. The 129 location can’t be seen from where my dish 500 is (low angle and due to trees - not mine). Where I can see 129, I can’t see 110. I get great signal strength of 120-125 on both 110 and 119 locations so I really don’t want to mess with the Dish 500.
Do I ask for another Dish 500 instead of the dish 1000? (they should be happy – it’s cheaper). This also gives me the option of swinging the second dish to 61.5 if I need to.
What lnb do I ask for. Will a DP34 work with the legacy 4000 or Do I need a DPP instead of a DP. Do they make a DPP34 or are only DPP44’s available (overkill?).
Thanks in advance.
