Is it possible

I opened it up there are the 4 connections ---> O O O O the cables are attached to the 2 middle connections

Here's a picture....

Ok I am researching and it seems if I just connect one cable to port 1, 119 I should be good, and of course once the dish is all setup. Sound about right?

That appears to be a 1000.2 DishPro Plus LNB and switch. It can support 3 dual-tuner receivers or 2 early Hoppers and one input for a wing dish.

I'm just using a wally, and still hoping I got it right in my post above about hooking it up.

I am sorry for my lack of clarity SPower. The internal switch inside that LNB assembly means that the Wally can switch any one of the outputs to any one of the satellites (110/119/129) and tune the right bird when you select a channel using either of the Wally's tuners. You don't need to plug it into one specific output.

the first 3 ports are outputs and all 3 send signal from all three sats. That is a Western Arc LNBF with a switch built in to combine the signals from each orbital into 1 output so you can connect up to 3 non Hopper receivers to it. The 4th port is labelled input so you can add a 2nd dish pointing at a different Satellite and the switch in the LNBF combines that in with the 129, 119 and 110 Sats.

Great! Thanks all, now to see if it will fit on dtv mast....stay tuned....

 

[SPower]

Ok surprise surprise dtv mast is too big!! So now going to plan B...I'm going to make a stand out of PVC (see picture) we'll see how this goes.....

Yes and no on the mast. If it's an old DirecTV Phase 3 dish then the mast might be the same size. If it's a bigger mast then you can get a pole adapter to downsize it.

JSheridan mentioned the pole adaptor, you can get one of those and have a permanent remedy.

Yep, just Google 'Dish pole adapter' and there will be a bunch of them.

That sounds great except my dtv dish is pretty high up, I don't think I can handle the height. I measured the mast and that was all I could do to get down fast

Why is it so high? Does it have to be that high to get a line of sight?

It's where dtv put it, up on the back corner of the house....
I've got this one all together, now to somehow dial it in....

 

[SPower]

I got it all setup, didn't touch the settings, worked perfectly!! See picture...
Much better signal. I'm a happy camper now
Oh and King is sending me a new dish too!
Thank you everyone for all the help!!

 

[TheKrell]

What keeps that dish from blowing over?

 

[SPower]

It will be secured shortly

 

[SPower]

Update: Secured the dish, lots o wind for a few days and no problems! Also the best thing......after the reboot (I think its a wally thing) every night it downloads the guide automatically!! Really happy with this setup.
On another note, the new portable dish from king arrives today, will test it out and see what signal strength it gets compared to the one I am sending back.
