118.7 and 61.5 question
|
Bronze Member Username: MwarriorPost Number: 38 Registered: Jun-06 | Would simply repointing my 61.5 to 118.7 help me pick that bird up? Theres lots of talk about the "right LNB"... Is it simply a Universal LNB or will a DP Pro work? I have a Dish1000 but 129 isnt working on it (tweaking issues or switch port, not too worried as I dont need those channels though). I figure its cheaper to repoint my 61.5 instead of buying a Repointing kit. Thanks again for any help |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11716 Registered: Jun-06 | Any 33" Dish and CB2008A LNB will get you 118.7 and 119 for two receivers. If you have other Sats or LNBs the outputs of this LNB will only occupy one port of each of two DiseqC switches for two receivers. |

Bronze Member Username: MwarriorPost Number: 39 Registered: Jun-06 | King: I already have a Dish 1000. Its not a Dish1000+, does that matter? Also, I have a DPP44 so I'm not sure if the LNB you pasted the eBay link for would work? What's the main diff between Dish1000 and Dish1000+? Just 118? |
|
|
Gold Member Username: Cartier1Post Number: 2056 Registered: Feb-07 | DPP44 can not work with any lnb unless it's dpp lnb. dish has to be 33' for good reception so go a see what the mesurment for dish 1000. the important first is the size then the switch that you are using has to go with the lnb . never mind if it's 1000+ or 5000+ | |

Bronze Member Username: MwarriorPost Number: 40 Registered: Jun-06 | Cartier: I understand that, which is why I was asking if I could just move the 61.5 dish to point that at the 118.7 rather than buy a DN Repoint Kit or something... As for dish being 33", I'm not sure how big the Dish1000 is but I'm pretty sure its less. Is 33 requierd?? My S and Q are both 75 though. Its low but I havent really spent time tweaking it. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11721 Registered: Jun-06 | DP 500+ LNBF ASSEMBLY The DP 500+ LNBF Assembly includes two LNBFs. An FSS/DBS Dual Band LNBF receives signal from 119A° and 118.7A°, while 110A° is received by a separate DISH Pro Dual (or DP Single) LNBF. A DISH Pro 34 (DP34) or DISH Pro Plus 44 (DPP 44) switch DISH 1000+ can be used with the DISH 500+.

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11723 Registered: Jun-06 | The 118.7W sat (Anik3) is positioned at mor or less the same location as 119W 9Echo 7) and if your dish is at least 30" wide, and is pointing to 119W , you do not need to adjust. If you go for the DN supplied LNBF, you will need to stick to DN switches. You CAN, however, use the Dish (30" or more) as a passive reflector, and attach a non-DN LNB such as a CB2008A specifically designed to get the 118.7 and 119 signals. You may need to do some bracket adjustments if you do this, but you will get by with DiseqC switch(es). Note also that the DN LNBF for 118/119 has two separate outputs for 118 and 119, whereas the outputs of CB2008A are for two receivers, i.e. EACH output carries both 118 and 119 signals and each output will occupy only one port of a DisEqC switch. |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3528 Registered: Oct-06 | I got 118 on a 24" dish Many others did get it on a basic 500 dish It's circular polarity But it depends wher yo live I was among the first to say 30" is required for that frequency But it is reachable with 24" dish |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3536 Registered: Oct-06 | This is where yo can obtain all calculations San Antonio TX Azmith= 212° Elev= 49° Dish 500 will work for 118.7 from where yo live as long as yo got clean view But yo have to change LNB like Cartier has in photo above 118.7 is about 47° clockwise from 61.5 If yo repoint dish with new LNB All yo need is to select: TP freq= 11715 pol= V, s/r=20000 FEC=7/8 or auto Do TP scan or blind scan Yo might have to put all TPs manually if yor receiver doesn't have Anik#F3 Come back and tell me how it worked Or if yo got any other questions |
