Help using a Dirctv paratodos dish as a dish500 dish to get 119/110 bird for Dish.

[zerocool]

Hi, I am trying to aim a dirctv paratodos dish that is used to get 101/110/119 for dave's sytem on dishnetwork to get 110 & 119. I can get it to pick up one or the other bird but not both. Question I have is the sqew settings the same on this dish verus a true dish 500 or is the markings off a bit? Any help would be appreciated. This is for a friend who was sold this dish and originally had it dialed into bev to get 88/92 birds.

the skew settings are just reversed (markings). You should be able to approximate the correct skew. But you need to switch the center lnb with the one on your left as you face the dish. Thats because the center C sat will not work for dish. Therefore, you will have only an lnb in the center, which will be 110, and an lnb on the right as you face the dish, which will be 119. Also need an sw21 switch., and this will work on legacy irds only w/o an dp adapter.

If your lined up with dave, then dont touch a thing just put your 119 to the right(if your facing dish) then 110 to left then if you want bev fill in the space where dave was and strap on an lnb fir bev(91)... thats how mine is set up....
