    Default which dish is better

    I am using the dish 500 but have never been able to get 129 with any of the arm extenders. Which is the best dish to use with the nfusion HD receivers to get 110 119 and 129. Thanks for any help...I have been using 500 and a single dish to hit 61.5 for 5 years but looking for better option. Thanks

    you can get a quad elliptical with 3 lnbs or a 1000.2 dish The latter will require a power inserter to help power the lnb with most rcvrs I think the nfhd wont need it

    I have tried the 1000.2 dish and can not get any signal in on it. It there a specific way to set up the LNB and satellite settings. Do I still need the dissqec switch when I use this dish? and Also will it get all three that I am wanting to get 110 119 and the 129. Thanks for your help.

    A 24" elliptical with 3 lnb will be your best bet(my setup for 110, 119 and 129). 129w always has lower signal quality.

    If I use the 1000.2 do I need to use three single LNB's or can I use the one that comes with the dish. Is there a difference is it better one way or the other. I just ordered a new 1000.2 to try this again. I already have the dpp44 switch. Any further information would be great and thanks for the info up to now.

    If you have a DPP44 switch and power inserter then use 3 DP single LNB's, this would give less problems with DC power to the LNB's.

    But you should check with satbeams.com to see if your area needs a bigger dish or not for 129W. Use the link below, select the CONUS beam, then zoom into your location, and click on it, this will give you the dish size needed for 129W at your location.

    129W has a funny footprint, you maybe in a weak part of it.
