Get a 1000.2 dish or another 500 and use it as a wing dish.

I had nothing but problems with 129 and the 1000.2 dish. They just switched me back to the "two dish" (Dual 500's) set up, that I had before, and 129 is great. The 1000.2 dish was under "designed/manufactured". It does a great job of grabbing two birds but the third is so so. As per several Senior Techs/Field Supers and from my experience at Hughes Aerospace. I had two dishes then told I had to have the 1000.2 when I got a 722. Nothing but problems since. Then I was told that not everybody was having success with this model of dish and were/are being moved back or to the two dish set up. They say there was not reason to have changed it. I had no issues with 129 prior to the 1000.2.

So a two dish set up is logically the best. Each bird will get it own LNB and more precision individual alignment.

LMAO ok your "senior techs/field supers from your experience at Huges Aerospace" ok I get that poke at "I KNOW WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT"

But anyway, the 1000.2 is fine as long as its installed properly and gets signal just fine!! Sounds to me like you might have gotten a bent reflector or didn't have it installed properly.

Ohh and I'm a Installer, just a plain ole everyday installer. :up
