How do I tie two dishes together

[tcaba]

I have a 622 tied to dish 1000 and a 508 tied to a dish 500. Reason is, the dish 1000 looses sat 129 easily when there's a cloud over China. I would like to feed the 622 and 508 with the 500 dish since it looks only at 110,119. Then also feed the 622 with the 1000 dish but re-aim it for better signal quality.

Problem is, it's a lot more complicated now than it was back in the Dish 300 days and I don't understand all the switch technology these days.

Any help out there?

As always Thank You

Whats the purpose in having 2 dishes? Are the rcvrs in 2 locations that make running them off the same dish impossible?

My suggestion is to just re-tune the 1000 and run the 508 off it as well.

If you are losing signal with the new Ciel-2 sat at 129, you definitely need to have that dish repeaked.

I assume you are using the original dish 1000 with a DPP Twin and a separate LNB connected to the DPPTwin. Peak the 1000 for 110 &119 then peak the 500 for 129 using the single LNB from the 1000. The 20" dish 500 should give a stronger signal than the 1000 for 129. Adding an "I" adapter to the 500 should improve signal a little more

2 dishes because I continued to loose signal on the dish 1000. I don't have a perfectly clear sky but it's pretty close. But with 2 dishes I was able to narrow the field at least on 110,119.

So has Ciel-2 replaced 129?

I've done the old tone adjust but has been several months.

I like that idea better boba...dedicate the 500 to 129.

The reason I ask this was a buddies installer just added a second 500 dish looking at 129 and he seems to have VERY few probs.

How do these signal numbers look?
1000 500dish
110-57 110-54
119-75 119-50
129-41

Hate to be ignorant but there are a lot of you that know much more than me about sat

thanks again.

Peak the dish on 129. You should be in the 50s on transponders 17 - 32. The old 1000 works fine for 129 with Ciel 2.
