Dish 1000.4 and Dish 1000+ Setup Diagram

[rajuB4U]

Here for your amusement and information are a couple of pictures and a diagram


This is a wiring diagram after adding the 1000.4 "Eastern Arc" dish to the setup. My ViP-622 DVR is fed directly from the "1k.4" dish, my ViP-211 is fed from the "1k.4" via a DPP44 that adds the 119� feeds.
(Why add 119�? Because I had the parts and couldn't think why not!)


My 1000.4 replaced an old faded dish 500 that was aimed at 61.5� (and for several months, 61.5� and 72.7�).
My SD receivers are fed from the DP44 which can receive all four feeds from the Dish 1000+. These receivers don't need 118� or 129� but the dish is there so the feeds are connected. (Why not?)

Just before the DPP44 the 110� feed is split off (using a DP Splitter) and the unpowered split is fed back outside to my 1k.4 dish. This works and I can watch channels from 110� on my ViPs but because of the unpowered split the LNB shows up as "N.C." on the point dish screen (excellent signal but no LNB seen).

OTA goes to the living room with the ViP-211 feed using diplexers. The home distribution output of my ViP-622 DVR is fed back to the basement via tha ViP-622's feed line. Two coaxes to the living room. A third set of diplexers is in use to feed OTA/DPP44 feeds to a TV/301 in the family room.
