Can I get 110W and 119W with one dish?

Bronze Member Username: VariusPost Number: 32 Registered: Mar-07 | Hi, I have bought two "Ku Band Circular Dual output LNB with Dual polarization." I only have one on my dish right now, was keeping the other as backup. My dish is 1.8M so I was thinking even though I am pointed at 119W, would it be possible with the same dish to get 110W ? I checked in my 'dish settings' (SV8000HD) and when I select Echostar 8.x I get quality on some TPs, but scanning them they seem to be "mirrors" of my 119 channels NOT the 110 channels. How would I go about being able to receive both? Do I need to go connect my second LNB to the dish, then connect them both through a switch? Or is this only possible with a second dish or a motorized dish? I know I need two LNBs to get them both at the same time, but then wouldn't I be able to get 110 right now with my current LNB (and lose 119 in the meantime) ? The fact I get mirrored 119 channels instead leaves me to believe I won't be able to reach 110. Thanks |

You must have 2 LNBs on the dish for get 119 and 110. Yo can buy a 36" motorized dish or motorized the actual dish, if it is a 36" and less. A 6' dish can be motorized with a actuator and a special box for drived it.  |

Basically, let me rephrase my question: If I factory reset/erase 119, should I be able to get 110 with my dish aimed at 119? I tried, but when I scan 110 I get 'mirrored' 119 channels still. Basically, I want to find out if I can reach 110 so it's worth it to go up on my roof and install the other LNB/switch. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 13382 Registered: Jun-06 | UNlike the older Dish workhorse giving you 119 and 110 in a single LNB, this one give you 119 and 118.7 in a single LNB. You have a 1.8 metre Dish and that is plenty for getting 118/119 from one of the LNBs you have bought and mount the second LNB close to this one to point to 110. For the LNB you are going t use for 118/119 there are special instructions. For the LNB you are going to get 110W, use LNB freq 11250, i.e. standard for 110W. The following CP should help in general about 118/119, but also is useful for 110. Any LB that can get 119W, can get 110W. Once installed properly, you should be able to get 118, 119, and 110 for each of two receivers. http://www.mxmart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=126 Circular Dual LNB for both 119 and 118.7 C$19.99 It's a brand new Ku Band Circular Dual output LNB with Dual polarization. Ideal for all circular satellites, i.e. Echostar 3 (Dishnetwork 61.5), Echostar 6/8 (Dishnetwork 110), Echostar 7 (Dishnetwork 119), Anik-F3 (at 118.8?W), Echostar 1/2 (Dishnetwork 148), All DirecTV, All Bell ExpressVu and other Circular Polarity satellites. It's designed especially for catching 119 & 118.7 (Anik F3) at the same time using one such LNB. Each Output gives signal from both satellites. Make sure you set LNB frequency as 10750, instead of regular 11250 in the receiver menu. ATTENTION Requires: 30-inch or larger dish Compatible with DirecTV, Free-to-Air (DiSEqC, 22KHz), and legacy switches (SW21, SW44, etc) Not compatible with DishPro switches and/or DishPro (stacked) LNB's Instructions Using a 30-inch or larger dish (we recommend 33-inch), aim with the following settings: Satellite Name: 118A°W (Anik F3) or 119A°W (Echo7) LNB Type: Standard (or Single) LO Frequency: 10750 or 10600 MHz Finally, do an AUTO SCAN or a BLIND SCAN For some the following settings may work better or give you more channels: LNB Type: Universal If your missing any channels, manually scan them. You can refer to www.lyngsat*com / www.lyngsat*com/anikf3.html LO Frequency: 9750 MHz HI Frequency: 11250 MHz Make sure Anik-F3 (118.7A°) TP figure in your receiver menu is correct. |

Bronze Member Username: VariusPost Number: 34 Registered: Mar-07 | Re-aiming my dish is a problem, as the extreme structure used to keep it on the roof was done by a welding pro and doesn't allow for any adjustments really - it withstands our tropical storms, rain and heavy wind perfect though =) If I erase everything (factory reset), and don't scan 119, but only try to scan 110, I am getting 119 channels. This is my problem. How can I do that from scratch to get 110 channels? If I can get 110 without moving my dish, then I will go ahead with getting up there to install the 2nd LNB etc... Or, does the fact when scanning 110 I receive 119 channels mean from where I am, pointing at 119 I don't have a big enough dish to catch 110? |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 13384 Registered: Jun-06 | Keith: Why do you keep on asking? "Or, does the fact when scanning 110 I receive 119 channels mean from where I am, pointing at 119 I don't have a big enough dish to catch 110?" You have big enough Dish to get 110 and 119 Just get a bracket and put your two LNBs side by side and get 118/119 on one LNB and 110 on the other LNB. By the way, some stupid idiot has posted profanity in my name 3-4 posts above. |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 6055 Registered: Jan-08 | Keith Buy a bracket as Nalin says, a hose clamp can't work on a 6' as for a small dish. If you have a picture or a link of your dish, please post me. Thanks |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 13389 Registered: Jun-06 | Chumley: Answer to your question. A lot of people are used to a single LNB giving 110 and 119. This guy has bought a single LNB giving 118 and 119. If you look at his post you willsee why he is not getting 110. Thenaswer is that the LNB he has bought does NOT give 119 and 110 in a single LNB, but he can use his two LINBs to get 118/119 and 110. When I give considered reply based on the apparent knowledge and level of expertise of the questioner, I don't expect knowledgable people to jump and start questioning me. THE ANSWER I GAVE WAS ADDRESSING HIS NEEDS AND TELLING HIM THAT HE CAN ALSO GET 118 AS BONUS AND ALSO GET TWO RECEIVER SETUP AS A BONUS I am giving an extensive answer to you because I consider you to be knowledgeable person and I hope you will stop interrupting a thread without looking at the details carefully.
