Dish 1000.2 Question

[sweetcat0427]

I live in pittsburgh, pa. i bought a vip 612 receiver to use with dish network. can i set up a dish 1000.2 triple lnb and run 1 coax to my receiver with a dish seperator to get all of my programming? i am just using this 1 receiver. I only have about a 50' cable run so can i get away without running a power inserter? just want to make sure i will be able to get all of my hd channels with this setup.

With the 50' of cable you will be fine. Your HD programming is coming off of the 129. So the EA1000.2 dish is perfect

yes it will work fine. There is a built in switch to get all 3 satellites

thank you very much. will it make a difference if i use a dish 1000.2 or a dish 1000.4?

 

[Mr Tony]

a 1000.2 sees 110/119/129
a 1000.4 in most cases sees 61.5/72/77 (there was a 1000.4 for 110/119/129 but was used for a short time)

Both will accomplish what you want which is HD and Pittsburgh HD locals and both work the same way (other than pointing in opposite directions)

can i use the 1000.4 to pick up 110/119/129. asking if it will work and get better signal since it's a slightly bigger dish

also, if i'm only using 1 tv would a 622 install be exactly the same? If i do this i can hook up the other tv at a later time.

Yes, the setup would be the same for the 622. 1 cable from the LNB to the receiver (using a DPP separator). Then you can hook up a 2nd tv later. You can use the 1000.4 for western arc, but you have to make sure to get the 1000.4 WA LNB (which is different from the 1000.2 if I remember correctly).

correct. They are different
