110, 119, 129 info

[slick]

After all the reading I have been doing. I think I know what I need, but I will just post to make sure.

I plan on running 1 receiver, jynxbox or VS maxhd(with Xfta). not sure which one yet.

I would like to get 110,119 and 129 on the same dish. So it looks like I need the 1000.2 and the dpp44.

Am I on the right track? Is there anything else I need?

Nope I think you have it, maybe some coax, a roof to mount the dish, a place to plug it in and a good TV set and your fixed up.

You need the dish 1000.2 or 1000.4 and only dp-44 power inserter no need for switch.

You need the dish 1000.2 or 1000.4 and only dp-44 power inserter no need for switch.

Dish1000.4 is for the eastern arc (61.5,72.7, & 77.0). Dish1000.2 is for the western arc (110,119, & 129)

No the OP has it right with a DPP44 switch as there is no DP44 switch and yes the power inserter is necessary as those DPP LNBs are power hogs.

One question i have is about the dpp44 power inserter. Do I connect it after the diseqc(4X1) and before the receiver?

I ran 3 coax cables from my 1000.2 into the house. I am assuming I need the 4X1 Diseqc to get all 3 sats to the receiver.

you dont need the switch just run the power inserter on port #1 and direct cable to box from LNB . :thumbsup:

confused, port 1? where is port 1?

[cheff]

Port #1 would be the LNB connector #1 first connection far left of LNB's.

I looked at the lnb. There is a 1,2,3 which I think there for satellite 110,119,129 and an lnb in.

Yes so the power inserter goes from what ever unit that is using port #1 yes 110 .

let me get this straight. Do EACH port have 110,119,129 on it? or port 1 = 119, port 2 = 110 and port 3 = 129?

No, this LNB is entirely different. The switch is inside the LNB so every port will supply all 3 birds at the same time. You don't need to run multiple cables at anytime if you only have one box. And you don't need a diseqc switch at all.

So 1 cable up from power inserter to port 1 on lnb and 1 cable down from lnb(port2) to the receiverand I will have all the signals to the receiver.

There is no connection to the other side of the power inserter?

[cheff]

power inserter goes behind your box you'll see connector says to rec. the other says to lnb. The one that says to lnb that cable must be on port 1 on your 1000 lnb straight coax cable . You will also see the power inserter must be plugged into wall or your power source.
