I installed the repoint kit on my super d 121, I have 110 and 119, but as for 118, tried many settings with xtreme, I can't get it start from 11715, and the rest scan up with channel number in 4000+.

my 119 does not get signals at 12224 but 12239 and above, perhaps need to fine tune the antenna.

it is in Vegas, nv. please advise, thank you all.

First
Be sure this the corret LNB
freq 11.7 to 12.7 GHz

If yo get signal at 119 tp 12239 meaning Q level
That means yo are pointed correctly
Don't move dish
118/1119 same pointing on One LNB
What yo need to do is:

- Create a new satellite name
- Select tp 11715, v, 20000, FEC 7and8 (7/8)
- Select LNB freq= 10600 or close
- LNB Normal or Standard or Universal
- Do blind scan

Depending on some receivers and your settings
Yo may have to scan each tp separately


Please note
Selecting dial freq on tuner receiver controls correct scan
Don't make the mistake that pulp fiction made
By ignoring importance of tune freq
Good luck
Come back with questions

the LNB I got is from the dn pro, not the generic.

I did many different scan, blind scan, different settings, individual tp. no luck.

the meter did not showed any Q when @11715, only took a second to do the scan at that freq.

I did move the antenna to east maybe 2mm, now I lost many channels on 110, I have total of about 3~400 on both 110, 119.

perhaps the skews?

the blind scan I did on 118.7 get different freq than lyngsat*com posted, and they fall into 4000 range in station id.

First thing to do is get 110 back
Don't worry about 118 for now

Work on 110 and 119 (pointing and skew)
Once yo get both 110/119
118.7 is just simply different frequency

118.7 is same pointing as 119 on One LNB

I had 110/119/121 on super d, replaced with new dp repoint kit which is 118/119, 110.

the one I had was 110/119(center) and 121(west) by it self, since 110 is to the far west on the new bracket now, which way should I move?

as I was doing the skew this morning, I did not notice any drop, how can I be certain?

thank you.

I know what yo had before

your new 110/119 directly next to each other
Yo won't move much less than one inch

But like I said above
Work on getting 110 first

Looking in front of dish
119 on right, 110 on left
Do correct skew

Over all minor tweek to what yo had before

got so screw up here, I hook everything outside by the antenna,

everything was there, the signals are perfectly strong, did a scan on 11715, got all, then move everything back in, still good there, did a full scan, not there anymore.

took them out to the antenna, still not there, darn it.

any idea?

New ECM on DN started at about 12:30 Eastern.
That could be the reason why.

would that cause the signal not coming in at all?
every time when it down, the signal seems to be always there.

I create a sat with only one freq 11715, the Q was @75~80, now it flux between 0~30, so there is no way I can lock it.

what are the chances of getting a bad lnb?

for a minutes it was strong then can't lock to if the next, I can't do a blind scan to get any channels on this tp without any signal in to get lock.

I finally got it thru, and I still don't know where the problem exactly is, but here is another little Q.

the same settings on xtreme and pro, but xtreme got the channels at where they are suppose to be, but pro got them in the 4000+.

anybody knows anything? thank you for the help.

to get rid of 4000+, you must use Sat 121 with starting TP as 11715 and edit remaining from lyngsat. This should scan on correct channel numbers

from channel search, choose add sat, from there you can change the name of the sat, entering tp for the sat. if you need info for the sat tp, check lyngsat com

you will need bigger one like super d, believed some said like 30 some said 33, I an't sure, but bigger the better for 118.

lnb freq, I set it @ 10750, cuz @10600 did not work for me.

and make sure you have the right lnb.

go search the forum, there are a lot on this issue.
