I need some input on exactly which way to go with installation on this coming Monday.........My 6000 is on it's last legs which prompted me to update now.....I ordered the ViP622 and am somewhat undecided on which way to go with dish setup and sats, etc.......Currently I have two older dishes, legacy setup for sats 119, 110, & 61.5........With the additional HD channels being added my local HD's will be on both 119 & 129, the major nets on 119 and two others on I believe on 129?.....To cover all my bases for now and future,should I have the installer set up a DPP Twin LNBF for 119 and 110 & a DP Single for 129 using Dish 1000 and then use a Dish 300 DP single LNBF for 61.5?........I know from what I have read on this forum I would probably get higher signal strengths with a DP 500 on 119/110 instead of Dish 1000.........I live in Sausalito, Ca (across the bay from San Francisco) and am aware of the problems with 129 but I am concerned about future programing from that sat......I am just going to hookup to one HDTV-what are your thoughts on switches if any etc.?...............Some additional information: I live on a boat and have it all prewired-I have three cables coming from dishes into cockpit where switches are located, from there two cables running to TV (only using one now)-I also was with Direct early on getting addional HD channels using a Kramer VGA auto switcher between both receivers etc. etc.....Therefore my cabling is pretty much ready........I have spent the last three days trying to get up to speed on all the new sats, technology, etc.,etc.....and I am getting a case of "overload + headaches" and would certainly APPRECIATE any input on which way would best serve my present circumstances
