Dish pro Plus + 129 Lnb

[cricket4462]

Im looking to add a bracket to support a single lnb attached to my dish pro plus twin lnb so I can get 129 bird along with my 110 and 119 that I already have........ I have been reading and searching to see if I can still use my dish 500 dish or do I need to use an eliptacle dish for this setup? If not I have an eliptacle dish but see that the dish pro plus twin lnb's do not attach to the arm . Is there a yoke for this so I can attach it to the eliptacle dish?

No problem with Ne Plus Ultra ball-joint Bracket 129 is far right21756

Thanks for the reply glatt,,,,,So I can use the dish 500 dish with this bracket and if so will it attach to my dish pro plus twin lnb? How does it attach? To the arm itself or to the twin dish pro lnb?

This is the proper bracket for all 3 sats but it works better on an 18x24 elliptical dish. The problem you may have is that it takes around 700 miliamps to power all 3 and I don't believe the jynxbox supplies that much to the lnbs...21757

A dish 1000 and it's hardware would work a bunch better.

And if your thinking on using the DP+ twin's LNB input then you will need a DC power injector (like the DP44 power injector) to run all 3 LNB's as the JB ultra receiver dose not have the DC current to run the 3 LNB's at the same time.

My Jynxbox v5+ puts out 650mA LNB Output. I was told that the DPP twin LNB the power draw for it is about 490mA and with the extra 129 single lnb added to the DPP twin LNB the power draw is about 540mA which intern keeps me from having to use a DP44 power injector.

If I take my DPP twin lnb off of my dish 500 dish,,, Is there a yoke that will support the DPP twin lnb so I can put it onto an elliptical dish arm and then add the extra lnb as well?

The yoke in my pic above will fit a dish 1000 elliptical dish and is made to bring in 110, 119 and 129 (click on the pic). As far as your power requirements you may be a little off as a DN receiver puts out 750 mA to the lnbs. Your jynxbox may power that set up for a while but who knows for how long...it is the internal switch that you're powering.

I was hoping to use the DPP twin lnb that I already have and just add a single lnb with it instead of buying 3 lnbs and a disecq switch to use with that yoke you posted.

That yoke will fit the DP twin LNB and a second DP single, you might have to do a bit of filing to make it fit a dish 500's LNB arm.

But the dish 500 is not made for more then 2 satellites, it is optimized for 110 and 119.

A dish 1000 is setup for 3 LNB's and can look at 110/119/129 (or 61.5/72.7/77) without any modification.

However I do suggest you look at satbeams to make sure you can use a D500 to pick up 129, as it has a funny footprint, here is the link to satbeams 129W footprint,
http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?norad=33453 use the CONUS beam as the one for Canada is not active.

Zoom into your location and click on it, this will give you the estimated dish size needed for 129 at your location.

The OP is using a clone Jynx.

Considering the type of dish you already have up, just add another dish just for 129, it is better in the long run and cost is just as much, or less than buying the extra hardware! Works even better!!
