I Have 61.5 & 129- Which One am I Watching?

[hammerdown]

Before I got my 722 installed I had 119/110 on a 500 and 61.5 on a 300 with a sw21. The installer put in 129/119/110 on a 1000.2 and I still have 61.5 on the 300. And I actually get a stronger signal on 61.5 than 129 because of trees.

So when I'm flipping around to different 94XX channels, which sat am I getting the channels from? It looks like 129 because we just had some hard rain come through and I got some rain fade with an on screen message about lost signal 129....

How can I force 61.5??? Disconnect the 129 lnb???

If the channel is on both 61.5 & 129 it defaults to 129 (sadly)

The only way to get 61.5 is to remove 129 and do a recheck switch

What do you have HD that would constitute a 129 LNB? (locals, RSN??)

I've actually seen no rhyme or reason for which sat it is on. One time it will be on 129 and one time it will be on 61. Even doing a checkswitch often doesn't change it.

Anyways Hammer go to menu 6-1-1 and it will display the sat and transponder.

I dont need 129 at all, the installer just put the 1000.2 in because my old 500 was unstable. But I made sure he left 61.5 integrated and peaked. So if it is possible to disconnect just the 129 lnb, that's what I'm probably gonna do.

Tape a piece of metal in front of the 129 feedhorn and run a new checkswitch.

Aluminum foil works just fine on 129 to get just 61.5 on a dish 1000.2. I have been doing it for a while now.
