How can i get 61.5 bird without adding another dish.

[MikeD-C05]

For 99.99 you can get a dish 1000.2 sat dish which has a built in dpp44 switch and has a triple lnb for 110/119/129 and a port for the 61.5 sat dish. THat is what I have . You can get one at dishdepot.com and shipping , handeling and even tax is free since you live outside of FLorida.

"which has a built in dpp44 "

Mike, it's more of a DPP43. It only has 3 outputs.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Maybe so but it combines up to 4 satellites like the dpp 44 does and I thougth that was what he was after. But if he is trying to combine 110/119 /121 and 61.5 then you would be right, he needs a dpp 44 switch..

No, it have DPP TWIN LNBFs [119/110] with one input for 129W and support three output , so it looks like quazy DPP33.

Nope, the 1000.2 has a combined lnb for 110,119,129... and an input for a fourth satellite. And has 3 outputs.

I just went down to my local Dish retailer and talked to his installer. The installer had a Dish junkyard filled with old dishes and LNBs. He gave me one of each for free.

That's a D1000, not a D1000.2.

The dish got taken back down yesterday because I couldn't get it to work properly with the switches. Since it is just 3 duals I tried a SW21x/Sw21 combo (which didnt work) and a SW42/SW21 combo (which the SW42 is bad).

When I hooked it up to the FTA box to see what signals I would get
all 119 TP's (spotbeams excluded) were between 90-99 on the Pansat 1500
on 110 it ranged from 66 (TP3) up to 99 (not including spotbeams)
148 TP's were around 75

I even threw one in the middle for 129 and got between 60-75 on the active TP's

Iceberg, cable ties to hold the LNB that isnt in the bracket in place, or something else?

Big ass hose clamps work well too.
