New 211z with existing 500 antenna

[cnaimo]

Hi, I purchased a new home with a older 500 antenna and wanted to hook up a 211z reciever? will this work ? if so what wont work ?

I have see conflicting answers?

or should i pick up a new style dish 1000.2 ?

thank you

yes it will work but you wont get any HD (or very minimal) as the HD is on 129 and the D500 only sees 110 & 119

Are you looking to get HD? If so and if your location is correct, get the eastern Arc dish that sees 61.5 & 72.7

You're going to need the new hybrid twin LNB to use the H3 with it....

I must have missed something. At what point did the OP mention an H3?

Just tone out your line and Hook up a ground block, and get a 1.2K dish and Triple lnb non hybrid. EA. I know nothing about, I install on the WA.
Set that sucker up, and run it to the ground block and ground the system, and should be good to go.
Important don't forget to run a check switch after it's been installed .
To do that:
Go to menu
Press 6, 6, 1 and confirm correct satellite and transponders are selected, run Check Switch so it's communicating with your new setup.

it will but 129 will have a very low elevation. The Eastern Arc dish would be better as those satellites are higher in the sky on the east coast

Just make sure you get the Eastern Arc 2 LNB.
1000.2 dish themselves are Identical for Eastern and Western arc.
Just the lnb is different

1000.4s are obsolete, more expensive and bigger.
Don't waste your money.

Aren't you the one who has a thread about converting a 1000.4 to a 1000.5, which is even bigger than that?

That's a totally different situation by far.
