Hey,vhl17 A) Yes, you will need to buy this new 118 dual LNB. B) These Birds are only 2.2 degress apart, you should be able keep 121 also. C) For now , don't move the Dish try doing this, if you want to keep 121, strap the new 118 to the 121 LNB or for a better job buy a two way LNB bracket. If both Birds don't come in move your Dish very very slow toward the East or West.
if this is the case, why can't i just try to scan for 118 right now...i understand i need a circular lnb for all TPs..but with the current lnb i should get some channels , correct? i watch only 4 or 5 channels on this sat..thats all..i might be luckly and get those with the current setup??
Is Anik F3 listed in your Receiver with all the TPs? If they are ,nothing to lose try your luck.If they are not you will be wasting your time. Anik F3 TPs have lower Frequencies like TP #1 is 11.715 and EchoStar 7 TP #1 is 12.224 you see what I mean? Still if all the above is Greek to you TRY
in this context I have question? Actually dishnetwork guys have come and upgraded my dish to the new dish which has all the setellites. But I dont know how to setup the new 118 dish in my Pansat2700, under installation menu, what kind of LNB i have to select.
Hello Kavin, I know you are the right person to guide me. I have DN dish ie 61.5, now I need to add another dish for BEV. I have a new standard 14 inch dish and a circular lnb (Eurostar- ESKD P10 Plus) Freq10.70-12.75 GHz L.O 9.75 / 10.6 GHz. My question. Can I use this LNB to get BEV 91. Also some advice what I should do to install this dish. what angle and what switch I should use. Appreciate your help.
AGF Yes your Circular LNB will be OK. From your location point the Dish to 215 degress and Elevate it to 38 degress for Nimiq 1 @ 91.oW For these two (2) Birds you need a 2 in 1 DiSEqC Switch.
BTW... Iam not sure about your 14" Dish I would think you would need 18" to 20" some one here from Canada can tell you.
Kavin, one more detail, What is the location degree for 61.5 and what is the elevation degree, this will help me as I don't have a satelite finder. I however have the dish for 61.5 installed so I need to figure out if the elevation or location is somewhat same then I can try this out. Thank you once again
121W via ES9 is already migrated to 118.7 Anik F3 on bish network end. if you have not changed your dish arbital to 118W yet, you would loose new international channels like GEMINI, TEJA and may be more. anyways, i have got my dish arbital changed from 121W to 118W. boom, everything back to normal with bish network receiver.
now, i am a new FTA user (hardly 10 days). not bad, successful in getting all channels from 119W via ES7 and 110W via ES8/10 using super dish. But 118W via Anik F3 does not receive the signal or can not get channels using CS6100. when i switch the receiver back to bish network, i get new international channels just fine. by the way my CS6100 is flashed with v121 bin.
so satellite/cool sat gurus... please advise what settings should i use to get the signal and international channels using CS6100 for 118W Anik F3??
