rodster562; Your 1000.2 and 500 have the ability to point at 5 locations.
The input on your 1000.2 labeled as LNB in can support only one LNB, your 500 has two outputs you may pick one but not both.
This configuration has this flaw, the 1000.2 has a built in DiSEqC 1.0 switch and it only handle 4 LNB (sat locations).
There are several other resolves but you must have extra switches.
I use a 22kHz switch, 0 tone to the 1000.2 and 22kHz tone to a DiSEqC switch connected to the remainder of the other sat locations, up to four may be added, with this configuration we now have ability to receive seven sat locations.
(Note; I have three STB connected to the three out ports on the 1000.2 dish, one must be a Dishnet Pro Receiver.)

Please be aware that not all brands of 22kHz switches can pass DiSEqC signals or visa versa.
Ecoda brand is a good one, as well as the Chieta brand for DiSEqC.
