Dish Network 1000.2 Eastern Arc DPP Twin LNBF

Works as expected. I own two Dish receivers that I had used when we were living full time in our RV and didn’t want to get into a contract with Dish again. When I had returned my equipment, they requested the lnbf back, so in order to get Dish service on the pay as you go plan, I needed to get another lnbf, to attach to the dish so I purchased this one. I’ve had no problems.

I bought this to convert my existing 1000.2 western arc dish to eastern arc. It was difficult for me to find a good spot for the old western arc dish due to trees and buildings. I have a clear shot at EA 62 and 72 satilites. If you know what you're doing and can aim a satillite dish, this is an easy drop in replacement so I rated it 5 stars.Unfortunately, I didnt really know what I was doing and have a lot to learn about aiming multi satillite dishes. So I wasted an entire day trying to set this up and use it with my Dish VIP211z receiver. I was able to find Sat 62, but I could not find 72 using the dish point menu of my receiver. To make a long story short, it seems you have to reset the box a few times and do at least one or two switch tests to get the receiver to recognize both LNBs and to allow you to receive programming from both satillites. None of my problems have anything to do with this product, which seems like a perfect replacement.

ok

Needed a new "head", and this was the exact replacement. Worried (needlessly) about exchanging the old one and messing up the antenna alignment. Not to worry - replacement was a 56 min task with only a phillips screwdriver, and pliers to (gently) snug down the coax cable connector.

We travel in our RV and wanted eastern arc capability. Swapped the western arc LNBs out with these. Just took a few minutes. I downloaded the 1000.4 manual to get the Eastern Arc satellite reflector angles. I had trouble getting the two satellites, but it was purely operator error. After checking the settings about 5 times I realized my mistake (had the wrong skew) and had the satellites shortly thereafter. It will be nice having the option of aiming southeast or southwest as we travel and need to avoid trees, etc. in campgrounds.

only one is working

We'd moved our DISH from Illinois to Western North Carolina, where I was having a difficult gettin the HD satellite (129). An installer from Illinois suggested I try an eastern arc lnbf. I had decent southern exposure, so I did. Works great now.

All indications are new aiming instructions are needed and are supposed to be included. NO INSTRUCTIONS were included.
