adding dp lnb to dish 1000 dpp external in

[savorfaire]

does anyone know if you can add dishpro lnb (110,119) to dish 1000 external in and receive 110, 119,61.5,72,&77 . I am adding 625 sd receiver in my garage to my present setup (722 in living room)

The 622 is a HD receiver so it will work fine
or do you mean 625? That is a SD receiver

and to answer the 1st question....you will only get one of the 2 satellites from the D500 if you use the input option

thanks for quick rreply, I meant 625 rx. still unclear... will both 110 and 119 come thru

no adding the dp LNB will only allow 1 sat to come through.

If your account is marked with an mpeg4 marker, Dish will not be able to add an sd receiver to your account.

NO IT WILL NOT WORK The Eastern Arc (61.5/72.7 77) uses a 1000.4 dish and requires MPEG4 capable receivers. The 625 is a MPEG2 receiver so it won't work on Eastern Arc. The dish 500 uses a Twin LNB that has a built in switch which won't operate when connected to the 1000.4 so it can't switch from119 to 110.

You could connect the dish 500 directly to the 625 and as long as you are looking at the Western Arc it would work. But as Gary points out DISH will fight activating the 625 on your Eastern Arc account.

DIRT has been able to override that issue
