Re-Aiming your dish antenna to another provider

Gold Member Username: JustforhahasPost Number: 1077 Registered: Jul-08 | Re-Aiming your dish antenna to another provider: by - Grandpooba - 2008-02-08 Your receiver has the ablities to receive B3v but you are currently aimed at DN, or you are aimed at B3v and want DN. The first thing that you do is goto a satellite aiming site, this is the one I like to use For this excerise we will be re-aiming the dish from 91W nimiq 1 to 110W Echostar 8/10, However the procedure will work for DN to B3v. You get the Elevation readings for your current satellite that your dish is aimed at (91W), and the readings for the desired new satellite (110W). Example from San Francisco California USA: Changing from 91W Nimiq 1 to 110W Echostar 8/10; Using the satellite aiming site, we have found the following; Elevation for 91W Nimiq 1 is 35.3 degrees Elevation for 110W Echostar 8/10 is 44.3 degrees NOTE: these readings will vary as to location, you MUST get the readings for YOUR location. You would subtract the larger elevation from the smaller elevation, 44.3 deg. minus 35.3 Deg. = 9 Degrees DIFFERANCE. Now goto your dish antenna and MARK IT, Dish collar to the pole, and elevation dish to the elevation scale with a sharp pen or fine point "Magic marker', so you can return to the original settings. You should have your receiver or satellite finder setup to read Strenght indication for the new satellite 110W. Assuming you are currently aimed at 91W Nimiq 1, read the Elevation scale on the dish and write it down,it ideally would be at 35 Deg. however these scales can be incorrect. To re-aim at 110W, you would add the 9 Degrees difference to the reading you have taken from the dish. If you read 37 degrees and add 9 Deg. you would have 46 degrees on the scale. So set the dish elevation for 46 Degrees. To aim the azmuth, we are aimed at 91W, we know that from the northern hemisphere facing South the lower orbital numbers are to your left and higher to your right. To re-aim the dish we want to move the dish 19 degrees to the right. The elevation is set at 46 Deg. the collar and elevation setting has been marked so we can return to the original settings. We now loosen the dish collar and turn the dish to the right I have found that 10 degrees is about 1/8 inch of distance on a standard 1 5/8 inch dish pole, so for 19 degrees it would be about 1/4 of a inch from the original pole markings, turning the dish to your right w/pole in your belly. S-l-o-w-l-y move the dish left and right ontil you peak the reading, verify that you are receiving 110W on the satellite dish setup screen, lock the dish collar with the collar locking bolts. Repeat the peaking process for the elevation, and lock it. You can go from 110W to 91W using the same procedure, but turning the dish to the left and re-aiming the elevation. --------------------------------------------------------- Next... just input the new antenna LNB and sat settings into the receiver, do new scans, let EPG populate and wait for keys to AR... and watch V |

Bronze Member Username: KrunchAre you living life or... Post Number: 17 Registered: Dec-07 | Thanks for the great info Just, this is exactly what I was looking for (from bev to dn). Have been thinking about trying this, and had no idea. However, this part... "Next... just input the new antenna LNB and sat settings into the receiver" is what throws me off. Right now when I go into satllites on my fortec LU I do not see "echostar" listed anywhere. Should it be in the list? Do I have to creat it? And what settings do I need for 110 (or whatever DN is on)?? Any help would be appreciated, or pointed to the right place if its been posted before. Thanks! |

Am now trying to get 110.0w I am pretty sure that all of my elevation, skew and azimuth are correct. My dish settings are as follows. sat echostar 6,8 lnb power on lnb type single lnb freq 10600 transponder 12224 22KHz off search option all network search on Diseqc Port 3( I am using the swithch that origanally came with the unit and have the lnb's going into port 3 and 4) motor disable legacy sw off any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Silver Member Username: Albino_midgetPost Number: 700 Registered: Jul-06 | The settings for dn and bv are the same Enter settings from 82w to 110w -lnb type and diseqc port and do the same for 91w for 119w When trying to get signal on 119w use TP 12239 -- The first TP 12224 is not conus beam and you may not get quality. |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 5644 Registered: Jan-08 | Albino I get strong signal from 12224 and many channels from my location Anyway the tp freq is only for see if you get the good satellite and have nothing to do with the scanning. Try it, use a tp freq with no signal and do a autoscan and you will see that you get all channels. |

Gold Member Username: JustforhahasPost Number: 1204 Registered: Jul-08 | "use a tp freq with no signal and do a autoscan and you will see that you get all channels" LMAO @ plymouth... |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 5645 Registered: Jan-08 | Only the LNB Freq is very important for scanning Haha you are a idiot who no nothing So close your big mouth. You only know wath you read and not test nothing at all. Take your pills |

Bronze Member Username: UpinkuminPost Number: 26 Registered: Feb-08 | This might come across as uneducated... assuming you had the receiver and the correct bin file hooked up to dn. then you move, and there is already a dish set up there for bev. could you simply install your receiver and scan? if so, how would one know what settings to put in? |
|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 5792 Registered: Jan-08 | Upin_Kumin Both use same Bin files but you must reaimed the dish and do settings and scan the new satellite. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 13168 Registered: Jun-06 | You either scan for BEV (BEV is not available now because of Nagra 3) or you reaim as Plymouth said and scan for DN |
