Probably a Noob Question: Replace/Augment 61.5

[DiverCTH]

I'm in one of the areas last week's tornadoes hit. Fortunately there was no damage to my house or equipment, and the local utility got my power back up the same day.

Equipment:
VIP 722K
1000.4 with DPP Splitter
eastern arc, 51 peak average on the 72 and 77 birds. Not great, but I understand that the signal strength on the 1000.x leaves a lot to be desired.

Here's my issue:
The first storm blew one of my neighbor's trees into the 61.5 bird's path (Echo 12 I think).
I have permission to pull it down, but chainsaws are at a premium around here for the next several weeks.

My locals are on the 61.5 and the nationals I actually watch are split about 80/20 between 61.5 and 72.

I have an old SuperDish that another neighbor's landlord wanted gone, and I might be able to aim it at one of the 119 or 120 birds depending on some other trees (heavily wooded area, don't ask).

Is there any way to either chain the SuperDish to the 1000.4's extra input or vice-versa so I can at least get my nationals back?

If you can put a DishPro dual on that superdish, then that would work for the spare input on your 1000.4. Don't point at 121 though; nothing left to see there. To see what's where, click on the DishChannelChart tab at the top of this page.

Thanks for the advice - There's a hill between me and the western arc, so it looks like 129 is my best bet. Hopefully there's not a tree blocking that one.

There are 2 DishPro Duals and an FSS Bandstack on the SuperDish. I'm assuming I want to go from port 1 of the center LNB to the input on the 1000.4, correct?

I'm surprised nobody with a superdish hasn't jumped in here with the right answer; I have never actually seen one. But as near as I can tell from the installation manual, there was either a combo 105/110 LNB or a combo 119/121 LNB, each with a DP output. I thought the FSS satellite LNB was mounted on the boresight of the dish, and obviously that won't work with 129. But if you can aim one of the regular DP LNBs at 129, then this should work.
