Dish 1000 getting 110/119/61.5 ??

[bryanmf]

I currently have a Dish 1000 system that feeds three receivers (VIP 622, VIP 411, DP 301). I am getting the 110/119/129 satellites. Is there a way that I can reposition my dish to get 110/119/61.5 ? I realize that 61.5/129 are mirrored except the HD locals I am wanting to get are on 61.5 only. I assume that I could just add a second dish to point at 61.5 and go from a 34 switch to a 44 switch? But was wondering if it is physcially possible to just AIM to get 110/119/61.5?

Thanks in advance.

nope

Since the LNB is set for 129 (10 degrees off 119) if you move it, you will lose everything

PLus its not physically possible to get that far of a spread. There is a dish that claims to do 40 degree spread but even then you're still about 18 degrees short

No. It si too far away from the other locations. Get a second dish.

No, 61.5 is way too far to the east for the Dish 1000 to get along with 110/119... you will need another Dish and a Dpp 44 switch to accomplish what you want with dish pro products.(if you want to keep 129 also)

Thanks for the super quick response. That is what I was thinking!!!

second dish, run the input into the 1000 lnb (basically replacing the 129 lnb) and you'll get the sats you asked for... all content on 61.5 is on 129 except for the los angeles locals...

But I guess I could add the 2nd dish for the 61.5 and keep the 34 switch and just unplug the 129 input??

 

[Mr Tony]

yes you could
