Just found that those channels have been moved to 118.7
So now what will be my antenna settings for that 118.7
Right now I have only 110(echo8,10),119(echo 7) & 148(echo 1,2).
Any one has any idea about it.

Looking from below document.

It is not as easy as that. You will need a 30-33" Dish. There are people who have obtained signals on a 20" oval, but the signal quality is poor. There is also a scanning sequence you will need to adhere to.

There are at least 3-4 extensive threads in the last 2 months in this forum, explaining exactly what is needed. "Mad Flae" has the most knowledge on it acquired directly from experience.

Guys,
Just so you know. I hav subscribe to DISH network as well and I already have 3 dish at my house and I'm getting ZEE tv(because that is what I have subscribed too).
So if I'm getting DISH with current DISH then why do I need to add one more DISH or LNB?

You are making me confused...

Dish Network have a upgrade kit specifically to get the 118.7. With the number of dishes and receivers, it might be worthwhile finding out more about the kit. The DIY method is cheap, but you can get into trouble if you have more than one receiver. You might be better off using the Dish upgrade. Call them to find out.

dn has upgreade kit for converting super d to 500+ or 1000+.

since you have subscription to dn, just let them do the work, after they are done with the antenna, you can play with your setting on your fta box.

I already have two legal receivers from DISH.
And I have one DISH which has 3 LNB's out of which one is being used for HD(129) and other is used for 110,119.
Second dish has one LNB and points to 148.
They have their setup done way back and I'm using my viewsat has 3 rd receiver.
There is nothing change here untill 2 days back.
Suddenly you guys are talking about changing dish and connection and converting kit.
I don't understand why you need that. Installation is already done like 4 months back what other installation you are talking about?

LK,
I'm already subscribed to 3 international channels out of 15 right now. And I'm already getting it on my legal receiver.
Then why i'm not getting it on VIEWSAT.
That is what I'm asking.
So for that I wanted 118.7 Antenna setup description where I can try to find out while scanning it

maybe the channels you are getting from dn is not at 118 yet, perhaps you need to play around the settings on your vs.

Since thread is on here is my question, I have already 118.7 hooked up with the dish by DishNetwork two days ago.

Now this weekend I am going to hook it up with the box i checked before there was no 118.7 or anik f3 or whtever u call it.


Now do i have to add them manually or there is a channel or sat file that i can upload in.

Regards,

Maybe you are getting these internationals from the 148 bird which has internationals too. This one does not need to use new setting. You are good to go. What is happening is that channels that were on 121 are moving to 118.7

Hope this removes your confusion.

Guys just wait for the new bin,,, its just ecm problem.
No need to get the 30 inch dish or to change directions of the dish.
Relax and watch some local channels till the coders find the fix.

I tried create new sat or modify 119, did not work on my vs. the signals/quality are good, the channels are in, BUT in 4000+ range AND auto rolling, I dunno why.

what worked for me is, I used 121 instead and add a tp @11715, lnb freq @ 10750, if your antenna is at the right place, you should get most of the international on 118.

before scan, make sure you see the signal/quality on 11715.

good luck.

Mad flea,
I have 4 birds setup from Dish Netowrk.
1->echo 7 (119)
2-> echo 8,10(110)
3->129(for HD)
4-> 148(for South Asian channels)
So I think I any one can post their TP and lnb frequency for South Asian Channels.
I tired Auto/Blind Scan on 148,119.
Did not et on any one.?
If some one post their TP and lnb Freq then I can add that and do Scanning accordingly.
I think any 118/119/148 bird will work
