Help setting up Dish 119 and 110

[07psdcrew]

Hello all, I have service with Dish network. I’m in a campground. Last year had perfect LOS to all satellites, but this season they moved me to a new spot. Lots of trees, but I do have LOS on each satellite in two spots. One spot I have 110 at 45 and when setup in another spot I have 119 at 40. I’m using a Hopper and Joey, a 1000.2 dish. I cannot get both satellites at the same time due to the narrow windows through the tree gap. I was wondering if it’s possible to use the LNB input on one dish and use a second 1000.2 dish to feed that input? The signal would come out of that LNB/switch and into the Node that’s used for the hopper. From there to my Camper...
Basically, one dish optimized for 119 and the other for 110.
Am I crazy? Or would this work?
Thanks in advance.

What about 129, that's where the HD signals are?

How about the eastern arc? Any way to hit the 61.5 and 72 satellites

I think it will work .

DPP 1000 .2 LNBF FEATURES,
continued
• Includes an LNB input port for
connection of a second dish to
receive signal from a fourth
orbital location. Connected
receiver(s) receive signal from
all four orbital locations²,
eliminating the need for an
external switch

You can't use another 1000.2. You have to use a 500 Dish with a DPP Single LNB pointed at the Satellite.

We carried WA and EA LNBF heads so we could go with either arc when trees were an issue

You meant to type DP single (or dual), not DPP.

True - DPP is such a habit

No 129. I keep that LNB covered with foil. I have a mountain blocking it on LOS at both sites. lol

I just picked up an EA LNB local for free, going to try to get those this weekend when I go up, but I do beleive they are blocked heavily with trees...this pic is the direction of the eastern arc, it’s possible I might be able to setup on top of my camper though.

Yeah you're in a pretty heavy tree covered area..Are you using a app like satellite pointer to locate the satellite?I prefer eastern arc since I don't use locals and only 2 satellites to hit in your situation.. I've had times where I could only hit the 61° satellite but it has most all of the channels we wanted.. better than nothing
