    Do you plan on using the sub box & the T5 together or just the T5 (north sats only)??
    Read over what Terryl posted in what works with what, He is the Pro when it comes to Sat Stuff etc.

    First thing.....Can I buy a DP 44 power inserter still? Last thing, can I just take the lnb off and replace with a standard single lnb with the holder for the other lnb?

    Yes I see the inserters on flebay all the time.........The single or dual/twin DP LNB in some cases will not directly fit on the LNB mounting arm on the dish1000, you have to find an adapter or take just the 3 headed LNB off but leave the LNB's plastic holder, then two DP singles will fit,(I have not tried a DP dual) or get a dish 500, the mounting holes on some of the dish 1000's are slightly different.

    And remember the signals criss-cross each other, so the 82 satellite on a dish 1000 setup will be on the right side looking from the back of the dish, you then have 91 dead center, on a dish 500 setup the dish needs to be pointing in-between the two satellite, at 86.5 degrees.(4.5 degrees off East or West)

    A dish 500 with 2- Legacy LNB's too a SW21 or Disque switch, one line 91 one line 82 to SW21 or Disque
    would work with T5

    Only using the T5 after the sub expires. The DP44 power inserters are around $100 on ebay. I have an old 3 lnb dish still on my deck out back so I have extra ones for sure. So I can use the plastic holder from what is there now and 2 of my lnbs from my dish that Im not using? Kinda like replacing the lnbs that are currently in the dp plus with 2 of mine?

    The little plastic LNB holder will only work on dish or bell LNB's, those are the type you have right?

    And look here for a better deal on the power inserter.......

    They are the standard dual lnbs that are used for (old days) directv, bell or dishnetwork. Do I just take the dp plus plastic holder apart and insert 2 of the standard lnbs? If I do end up getting the power inserter, do I leave the settings on the T5 at OCS-DP? There is no DP plus option in the dish settings.

    I actually found this one on Kijiji shipped to me for $25. This is what I need correct?

    I just want to make this as easy as possible......I can get that power inserter or I also have a dishnet 3 lnb dish outside. Can I just take that holder with the 3 lnb's and put it on my neighbours dish? Both dish arms are 2 inches wide so Im hoping to just replace his lnb holder with my 3 lnb one. If this does work, will I have to re-aim anything or should it be good to go?

    Check out dishpointer.com, there you can select what dish setup is being used for what Sats you want to point at
    and input your location, it will show you line of sight plus elevation etc. where to point your dish.

    This setup would be easy to do hxxps://www.ebay.ca/itm/Dish-500-Bell-ExpressVu-20-2-LNBs-2-ORIGINAL-SW21-FREE-BRACKET/273649441173?hash=item3fb6c71995:g:kI8AAOSwL7VWiB2 A

    How about this inserter: hxxps://www.ebay.ca/itm/SW44-SW64-POWER-INSERTER-Dish-Networ-k-Bell-VU-TV-SWITCH-SW-44-SUPPLY/382464604864?hash=item590caabac0:g:~j0AAOSwOgdYwKv N[/url]

    The one on Ebay is only for the inserter, no power supply. But can I just take the 3 lnb holder with the lnb's and put it on his dish arm? They are both the same size. Then use a diseq switch. Just hoping I wont have to re-align the dish as its already pointed perfectly.

    All you can do is TRY it, would hook it up without diseq switch first, lock in one at a time, Say 91 locked in then 82
    Add in the diseq switch after you have both working Good first

    OK, there are two types of LNB holders that will take a single DP LNB, the normal LNB holder for the Dish 1000 will not fit a single DP type LNB on it, it will only work with the Dish 1000 LNB mounting arm.

    The two LNB holders for single DP type LNB are shown below, the 3 LNB DP type will only fit the Dish 1000 arm, the 2 LNB DP type will only fit the Dish 500 arm, you can see the difference, and they are not interchangeable.

    Sorry it's a bit out of focus, my old camera doesn't quite focus too good at short distances.
