I live in zip 28422, have Dish 1000 and would like to receive DC HD locals on 61.5.
Currently D1000, gets 119/110/129, I have DPP44, so their is room for another sat. input. What is the easy way to add 61.5? Can it be reaimed to take the place of 129, or do I need another dish. I do have an old DTV legacy dish in the closet. Thanks for the help.

You need a separate dish for 61.5. There is no dish shaped to get the four locations you want. If you use a DP dual lnb, it can be wired to the open port in the DPP44 switch. Only way to do it.

You can not reaim your Dish1000 to hit 61.5.

You would need a DishPro LNB to use on the dish in the closet. The tube will be different that the Dish LNB but you can make it work. That is what I have used for 3 years. Then just run a line to your DPP44 switch.
