I got a bracket for 110 119.. At present for my dish 61.5 is counter clockwise and if i want 110 i have to move clockwise and i beleive 119 should 9 deg apart so again clockwise as degree increases.
I got confused while looking at poorman dish photo and also some messages posted about this with bracket
== Posted on Wednesday, March 22, 2006 - 09:31 am: Hey thank's guy's , i had the bracket the wrong way, 119 going in to the main shaft..plus my ports were set the opposite way....dohhhh
Thank's again ==========
i have 110 on main shaft set to port 2 i have 119 on right of dish as you face it set on port 1. =======
Let us say i am facing the dish i.e The dish arm is pointing at me..As the dish arm points towards me..If i use the ebay 110 119 bracket..
should the 110 go the dish arm..i fit the bracket so that 119 goes hanging alone in the bracket to the left side of 110..All is done ..as i stand facing the dish..ie. dish arm pointing me
With this setup ..now if i go behind the dish ..i.e dish arm pointing away from me
Now it will look as 110 fitted to arm..119 to the right of it hanging in bracket..
Please explain .im all confused why the post says 119 is to right of 110 as we face the dish..actually azimuth should be increasing correct..so 119 should be left of 110 as we face the dish
and also which one is elevated a little bit 110 or 119
These FTA receivers are amazing lil toys. Using a dtv dish and an extra lnb can get you the 110 & 119 sats and consequently 500-900 FREE channels. I have done this myself and it's so easy, I can't believe they make dish's with skew adjustments. I literally use rubber bands or hair ties to strap an lnb to the existing lnb and get 2 birds very quickly. I will be attaching photos and it's just as easy as it looks. Standing behind your dtv dish thats already pointed at 101, simply turn it to the right a little and drop the elevation about 10%. This is where the 110 sat is. You can use your dtv receiver to find the 110 by going into dish pointing menu and selecting one of these transponders 8, 10 or 12. When you find the 110 you will hear the signal meter rise and you can then fine tune it. Attach an extra lnb to the right (facing the dish) by using rubber bands or hair ties or wire ties, about 2 1/2 " above the other existing lnb (see photo) Attach the cable from it to the dtv receiver and in dish pointing change the transponder to one of these 23, 25, 29 and you'll probably aready have some signal, slide it up or down, keeping it flush with the other. Once she's dialed in epoxy or super glue to the original lnb. This is soo easy!
When done you now have a single existing dtv dish that will pull MANY channels for your NEW FTA receiver!
Hint: I also use wire tie or string around the lnb horns to draw them together and focus on center=better quality.
