dish 500 for western arc or eastern arc skew angles

[HBLester]

I will start that I own all my dish equipment ect, My daughter bought a HD tv and I have ordered a vip222k receiver. A friend of mine that use to be an installer gave me a 1000.4 dish and lnb, and a dish 500 and twin lnb both are DPP. I have installed a dish 500 with legacy lnbs and switch on 110/119 with my 3 501's. I have read that hd ch's are on 129 which I have NLOS from reading alot of this forums it looks like for my daughter to get hd I would need to be able to get 61.5/72.7? If this is so where can i get adjustment info (skew angles ect.) I have looked at dishpointer neat but what to use with a 500 or 1000.4.
Thanks in advance.

Over top of the satellite pulldown menu, there are three little links, the third of which is called "Multi LNB setups". Click on that first, and then you can select the appropriate set of satellites via the pulldown menu.

If I have NLOS to 129 that means must use eastern arc for hd was thinking about just using a second dish 500 on 61.5/72 for my daughters 222k and leave the rest of setup alone since it is legacy lnb and switches that works fine with my 501's. My question is to use dish 500 or 1000.2 on eastern arc how to get starting angles since multi lnbs in those configs are not listed?

From what I understand you can not use the 1000.2 for eastern arc. It has to be the 1000.4 dish. The 1000.2 dish is for the western arc. 119,119 and 129 birds. EA is for 72. 77 and 61.5 birds

You need both dishes if you're going to hang on to the 501s. Point the Dish 1000.4 the way it is supposed to be pointed and leave the Dish 500 alone.

As you may have already noticed from TheKrell's advice, dishpointer.com calls the Dish 1000.4 a "Dish 1000.4". Imagine that.

If you come up with numbers that are widely separated from 164.6 magnetic, 45.8 elevation and 74 left skew, you've done something horribly wrong.
