Pointing Dish at Just 119 (Echostar 7) ?
|
New member Username: GeigsPost Number: 7 Registered: May-06 | I'm trying to point my dish to receive just 119 (Echostar 7) channels, but when I do a scan on my Pansat 2500a, I get 110 channels. How do I know when I'm pointing at 110 or 119 ? Im using a single LNB and Pansat 2500a clone receiver. Is there settings in Anttena setup to set so I know when I'm on 110 or 119 ? because they both indicate a signal. Thanks |

Yeah I tried that Sakapfet, but if I'm standing behind the dish shoudn't I be turning to the right ? towards the west more for 119 from 110 ? and when I do pan the dish the signal only goes up once in one spot no matter how much I go left or right  |

You need to turn it about the same width as your LNB, or about 3 inches. There may be a little tweaking involved, but once you've found signal, play with it until you get go signal and quality. |

Gold Member Username: The_wank_artistPost Number: 1100 Registered: Feb-06 | Mario, you should be able to get 110 with little or no trouble. First, if you have 119, you'll need to turn the dish to the right, about 3". You'll most likely start to get signal at that point. Once you do you may need to tweak the dish ever so slightly up/down. Location in your area isn't the issue. Perhaps obstructions, but not location. |
