Dish 1000.2

[PremiereElite]

Ok finally the Dish 1000.2 arrived.. Installed and everything but my problem now is, im only locking on to sat 110( signal 98% qual 89%) and nothing else..any suggestions/ input /info is welcome..

[swanner]

Yo bro....
how many lnbs, what type of lnbs, what switches you using and what are your box settings....
what birds are you pointed at...

oh ya, what box you using again....
thanks...

[PremiereElite]

Ok bro..
Dish 1000.2 comes with 3 LNB's Sat 129 119 and 110
Has its won built in sw..
Dish Pro ( LNB freq 11250)
AZ @ 52 degrees
Skew 110

[swanner]

The Following is a C/P for ya to review and try ok...
Hope this helps ya bud..

swanner

C/P
Try focusing on Port 1 and finding 119 first, 110 should be right there already on port 2 and 129 on Port 3 (or you may have to tweak your skew a little). You'll have to adjust a little to fine tune signals on all 3


I am not sure what your settings are at, But they shoiuld look something like this....

Satellite..............E*S 7 (119W)
LNB power...............ON
LNB Type................OCS-DP
LNB Freq................11250
22KHz.....................OFF
Tp Freq..................12239
DiESqC 1.0..............Port 1
Motor......................OFF
Legacy SW..............None

Satellite..............E*S 8,10 (110W)
LNB Power .............ON
LNB Type................OCS-DP
LNB Freq................11250
22KHz.....................OFF
Tp Freq..................12224
DiESqC 1.0..............Port 2
Motor......................OFF
Legacy SW..............None

Satellite..............E*S 5 (129W)
LNB power..............ON
LNB Type................OCS-DP
LNB Freq................11250
22KHz.....................OFF
Tp Freq..................12224
DiESqC 1.0..............Port 3
Motor......................OFF
Legacy SW..............None
Work on 119w & 110w then 129w will fall in place.
The default output of the receiver ports is 119° on PORT 1, 110° on PORT 2 and 129° on PORT 3. Note that the output ports do not follow the feed horns, but rather allow for PORT 1 to be used for peaking on 119°, similar to other LNBFs.

On the Installation Summary screens, the DPP 1000.2 LNBF may display as “DPP Twin” or “DPP Triple” prior to the receiver’s software download. After downloading software, it will display as “1K.2” and “DPP 1K.2”. Legacy receivers will display the LNBF as “SW64” when the LNB IN port is unused or “SW21-4Sat” when a fourth orbital location is connected (if supported by that receiver).


Installation Tips
Peak signal on 119°W (signal at LNBF output PORT 1) after setting the skew angle. Do not try to balance all three satellite signal levels.

If the peaking meter does not produce at least 600 mA to power the DPP 1000.2 LNBF, connect PORT 2 of the LNBF to the SATELLITE IN port of a powered receiver to provide LNBF power while peaking.

The DPP 1000.2 LNBF’s Adapter Bracket (included) can be replaced by the Three-LNBF Bracket (sold separately) to allow use of three Dual or Single LNBFs. The Three-LNBF Bracket will not support Twin or Quad LNBFs. The W-Bracket used with the DISH 1000 is not interchangeable with the DISH 1000.2 Three-LNBF Bracket. The Three-LNBF Bracket can also be used temporarily with a Dual or Single for peaking on 119°W.

The DISH 1000.2 skew plate has additional skew holes to use when the skew is set to 110 or higher, or 70 or below. Bolts in these skew holes provide additional stability at these extreme angles. Refer to the latest DISH 1000.2 Installation Guide (part number 151255) for additional details.



Just wanted to give a report how I did, and Thank You all that been giving great advised. It took me 1 hour just by following advised on finding 119 ONLY. 119- 110- 129- all are UP and running..HD Picture look Great You guy..Again..Thank You all.

[PremiereElite]

Only finding sat 110 locked with 985 and 89% s n q.. will continue working on it

[swanner]

Try to start with 119... worth a shot bud....
I wish I had one of those dishes....

cheers

[swanner]

polarization is same as skew ok....

C/P for your location

Why am I only getting 110 on port 1 though?
119 is suppose to be port 1, 110 port 2 (dsecq1.0) and 129 port 3 correct or do I have it backwards lol.. Im on the roof at times so sorry for the slow reply.. ;)

you need to move dish

[PremiereElite]

you need to move dish
Ok going back on roof... ;)

[swanner]

get 119 at the strongest signal you can...

good luck.... Too Friggin cold here to go on my roof.... LOL
Wish I was down south....

[swanner]

Did not see dishusers post.... He's right... Move your dish

that's correct... 119 port 1, 110 port 2, 129 port 3....
Your dish is not aimed right at 119...

[swanner]

anyluck.... guess it's to dark now...

[PremiereElite]

Well only good thing is its still locking on 110 with great q and s but if I switch it to port 2 I get no signal.. could it be the internal switch is no good? And also no sign on the Horizontal polarization..

[dishuser]

port 1 is for 119
so you're off 9 degrees

[edgarr]

You need to start with skew on zero and move dish up and down and turn side to side till you get 119 signal
As strong as possible and then you just skew dish to get 110 and 129

[PremiereElite]

Ok getting closer.. im actually locked on to 119 and 129 but the ports are mixed up.. 129 is on port 1 which should be 2 and 119 is on port 2 which should be 1..

[swanner]

hhhhmmm...
would 110 be on port 3 then...
check it bro...

let us know.... Glad your makin some progress...
atleast your not out in the cold and snow...ha ha ha ....
Ya, I'm Jealous my friend...

swanner

[PremiereElite]

Lol bro... no signal on 110 as yet going back on roof lol .. will update.. any idea why the port are mixed up ;)

[edgarr]

Ok getting closer.. im actually locked on to 119 and 129 but the ports are mixed up.. 129 is on port 1 which should be 2 and 119 is on port 2 which should be 1..

Not quite it is 119=port1 110=port2 and 129 is port 3
If they are not that way then your dish is lined up WRONG
Also if your mast is not perfectly PLUM it is near impossible to get all three sats lined up properly

[swanner]

Maybe it was me that gave you bad port assignments... ooppps if I did.. sorry..

does the paper work that came with your dish say anything...(I know you probably already checked.. But if your like me.. I'm a man, I don't need instructions..)lol

I can't help chuckling.... you poor bugger on your roof at after 8:00pm... lol..ha ha ...

No Really... I feel your pain bro.... My wife wants me to change a switch so she can watch in the bedroom...
I told her to wait till spring.. ha ha ..

[swanner]

Lol bro... no signal on 110 as yet going back on roof lol .. will update.. any idea why the port are mixed up ;)

ha ha ha ha .... can't stop giggling... maybe your sat was built on a Friday???? Just before Miller Time...lol lol lol ..

Sorry Bro... just chuckling...

[swanner]

Not quite it is 119=port1 110=port2 and 129 is port 3

Thanks.. Read Post #18...
He Truly is A Champ For Trying.... ha ha ha .....
All good.... chuckles and Big Grin.....:tehe:

You Will Get It PremierElite... We Have Faith

[Terryl]

OK to setup a D1000 dish you need to point it directly at 119W, use TP 12457R as it has the ""Dish 101"" channel on it and is an open channel.

Diseqc port #1 will have this satellite on it, once you get 119 locked in and peaked, you can tighten down all adjustments except the skew, this you adjust to get 129 and 110 in your sights.

Use TP 12516 to find 129W.

Use dishpointer.com to set this dish up, select the 110/119/129 under multi LNB.

[PremiereElite]

Ok terryl 119 is locked on port 2 how do I get this to port 1.. Sig Intensity 98% & Sig Qual IS 90%

[dishuser]

move the dish 9 degrees

[PremiereElite]

Ok now my settings are as follows.. 129 on port 3.. 119 on port 1 and 110 on port 2 but when i try to scan in channels it says failed nothing scanning on 129..

[swanner]

you getting a signal on 129 for port 3 in your receiver on the tv screen?

Maybe try changing tp for 129??
I think a good tp for 129 is 12516?
just guessing here bud...

[swanner]

so 110 scanned channels aswell as 119?
if they did, that's a good start..

[swanner]

is it showing that 129 is locked in? showing s and q? for 129

[dishuser]

holy machine gun posting...lol
never tried the edit button?

[swanner]

Cost to much..bux..LOL...
my kids keep interrupting me.....lol

[PremiereElite]

yes 129 and 119 are locked 110 still not in yet still twerking .. I meant tweaking on roof ;)lol

[PremiereElite]

Big thanks to Swanner, Dishuser, edgarr, Terryl for helping me on this setup.. Finally got 129 to scann in about 439 channels.. 110 didn't scan in much(only386 normally 508) and 119 gave me 400 plus.. will continue tweaking tomorrow.. I had to use the Dish Pro(lnb 11250) to get them to scan.. just using 11250 wasnt scanning them in.. Ordered a sat finder cannot go through this again .. its too delicate of a touch to line all 3 sats correctly lol.. Watching some HD On 129 woooot!!! lol thanks allllllll :thumbsup:

[swanner]

yeaahh........ Good going PremiereElite..
Your welcome. If I helped at all...
Glad to see your off your roof Safe..... I'm sure you will eventually get it fine tuned at some point...
Happy testing....
swanner

[PremiereElite]

Good morning Bro.. lol yes I made it off the roof safe and yes you all helped ... I appreciate it a lot.. Enjoy your day.. :)
