Saturday, July 11, 2009 - 23:50 GMT phd103 You don't need any files for get Galaxy 18 123.0W. A old Star Choice dish can work for get this satellite. LNB Freq. is 10750, don't need Hi or Low, if you don' t have the choice put 10750 on both. Where you are located State or Province? You will have problem to found it if you live in east. Add this Tp: 11720 GHz V 27692 Use this utlity for help you and don't forget the skew which is very important on linear signal. http://satcalculator.freehostia.com/

Sunday, July 12, 2009 - 14:42 GMT No this is the only one, the only solution is buy a new receiver or a 48" dish and get this satellite. I know very well your area, I went to Shediac and Richibouctou in vacancy.

Sunday, July 12, 2009 - 16:50 GMT phd103 For my list of sats on the pansat iam not sure which to use G-10 R/ku or G-10 R/C or is it another sat? USE G-10 R/ku Make sure that you have a clear line of sight to this Bird. When pointing your Dish allow 5-10 seconds between any movements of your Dish. With the setting I have listed below you should have no problem, if you do you may want to try a new Linear LNB with a 36" Dish. Settings for Galaxy 18 at 123.0°W from New Brunswick.

Sunday, July 12, 2009 - 17:40 GMT phd103 For Shediac you need this size of dish with dishpointer.com. 123.0W GALAXY 18 - North America 350-450cm dish size But lyngsat give 95-120cm dish, I trust more lyngsat than dishpointer because I get many satellite which is listed out of range on Dishpointer.
