I currently have my BEV DPP 500 dual LNB sat aimed at 82/91. If I add a motor will I be able to get 110/119/129? Or I guess 2 of the 3 since i only have 2 LNB. If it would work what do i need to accomplish this and how hard is it to set it up?

Why not just add another Dish ?? You can use two using a good switch and it would be cheaper with less trouble ... I use a motor with a 39 " dish and it works great ... Lol

You can get a motor on a dish 500, I accomplished it once, 129 maybe tuff, because the motor doesn't have enough room to swing over to 129 on a dish 500. I believe I had to cut out a piece of the dish in order for it to go east to west freely. but should work for 91/82 and 110/119.

The best way to proceed would be with a motorized dish, preferably 36 - 39", combined with a standard circular lnb - with this you will get all sats available from your location.

If you were to get a circ/linear lnb , like an invacom, you would be able both circ and true fta satellites - not bad for under $200. :thumbsup:
