I have a 18" dish presently pointed to bird 148.Since I am the sole user no lnb is being used for one bird. My question is for which following one bird can I use this 18 " dish . 61.5 118.7/119 Thanks
If you are pointing to 148, you are getting all the channels you would get from 61.5W. To point it again is futile. Either you are close to west coast and are scanning 148W or you are nearer the East coast ans scanning 61.5W. 118.7 requires a 33" Dish

1) If you live far West, Echo 3 and Rainbow 1 @ 61.5*W may be out of range. If not, you will be better off with 61.5 with a larger Dish. 61.5 carries more Channels.
2) For 118.7/119 You will need this LNB DIGIWAVE DGL-1189S Circular & Linear Combo Dual LNBF or CB 2008A, either one will do the job. Cost around $20.00
You will not get 61.5 W in Vancouver. Either you settle for 148W on a 18-20" dish and a standard LNB (single or two outputs for two receivers) or install a 33" dish and a CB2008A LNB or similar to scan 118.7W.
trendsetter369 With a 90 cm Dish and a clear view elevate your dish to point 9.5 degrees up from level in order to park on Echo 3 and Rainbow 1 @ 61.5*W
