what lnb freq do i use to get 118 and 129

[steveng01]

ive been tryin all day

[steven charles]

ive been tryin all dayfriend you can try posting what size of dish and lnb or lnbs your using and what receiver your using,and do you mean sats 118.7-119 or sats 118 and 129 for hd channels,so you can get the info,your looking for....

[kalimantester]

here is a list of satellites and the correct lnb's to use with them:

61.5w echo 3 - use standard circular lnb - 11250 mhz
63w estrela - use linear lnb, either universal or standard linear- 10750 mhz
71.8w nahuel 1- linear lnb, either universal or standard linear- 10750 mhz
77w echo 4 - circular standard lnb - 11250 mhz
79w amc 5 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 mhz
82w nimiq 2 - circular standard lnb= 11250 mhz
87w amc 3 - --- linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 mhz
91w galaxy 11- linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 mhz
91w nimiq1&3- circular lnb standard= 11250 mhz
93w intelsat 6- linear lnb, either universal or standard-10750 mhz
95w galaxy 3c- linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 mhz

103w amc 1- linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 mhz
105w amc 15- linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 mhz
107.3w anik - linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 mhz
110w echo 8 & 10,x - circular lnb standard - 11250 mhz
111w anik f2 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 mhz
116.8w satmex5 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 mhz
119w echo 7 - circular lnb standard - 11250 mhz
121w echo 9 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 mhz
123w galaxy 10r - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 mhz
127w galaxy 13 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 mhz
129w echo 5 - circular lnb standard - 11250 mhz
148w echo1 & 2 - circular lnb standard - 11250 m

------------------------------------------------------------

In The satellite List for Anik F3 118.7°W you will need the following settings:

• LNB Type: Standard
• LNB Freq.: 10750 MHz
set your switch setting to the special LNB aimed at 118.7/119

Scan the channels with Network On
You will get the Anik F3 channels (130 channels average)

Then go to EchoStar 7 119°W in your satellite list, use the same switch setting as 118.7°.above.

• LNB Type: Standard
• LNB Freq.: 10750 MHz

Scan the channels with Network On (260 channels average)


You are all set, getting the 2 satellites by only one single dish and LNB.

You are all set, getting the 2 satellites by only one single dish and LNB.also for sat 118-19 he needs at least a 30 inch dish or bigger for better signal and quality....

[davescarbs]

i am useing a circular lnb to get 118 &119 at 10570mhz

[dishuser]

also for sat 118-19 he needs at least a 30 inch dish or bigger for better signal and quality....

so you know where they live?
cause it can be done on smaller depending on location

[steveng01]

im using an old starchoice dish

[riverman]

If you are using a Starchoice Oval dish then it's not going to work as the focal point is wrong. For 118 & 119 together you need a special low frequency 10750 circular Lnb. A standard 11250 lnb will not bring in 118

To get all the available channels for the western arc, you will need a dish comparable to a Dish 1000 Plus, (or the 1000 Plus dish it's self) if you only go for 118/119/129 you will be missing some channels that are on 110.

The Dish 1000 plus is set up to get 110, 118, 119 and 129 on one dish, it looks like the one in the link below.


http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Dishnetwork/Dishes/Dish-1000-Plus-Dish1000Plus.htm


However you will want to check the footprint for 129 as in some areas of North America you will need a bigger dish, I practically live under 129W but am 60 miles too far East for the main foot print for the West coast, and have to use a larger dish just for 129W.

Here is a link to that footprint map, don't use the Canadian beam as that one is not active, use the CONUS beam.


http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?norad=33453

And here is one for 118 if you want to check, select the Anik F3 Ku beam.

So I am trying to get 129, I have a LNB that reads rf:12.2-12.7 if:950-1450
L.O:1225 ghz? kind scratched off N.F0.5db Gain:55db. I also am using a dish someone gave me and the name on it says ariza, looks like regualr size dish. i live in windsor ontario canada right across detroit. Having some hard time trying to find the signal. Follwed some of the forums post but still hard, maybe cause the dish or lnb im using. I see most say use dish 1000 but I dont have one of those. anyway to make this dish work?

[channelsat2]

Some years ago the LNBF used for Ditvlat helped me to received 118.7w and 119w at the same time....but the setting was 10600...has anyone used this lnbf?

[Terryl]

This is a very old thread. (But I need to wear off all the coffee.)

If you read through it you will see that the 118.8 satellite takes a special low kU band (11.2 to 12.2 GHz) circularly polarized LNB, this means that the signals are turning to the left or right like turning a steering wheel on a car, most LNB's for that band (Linear band) are horizontal or vertical polarized. (up down, left right)

There are some LNB's that will pick up both 118.8 and 119 as they are co-located, and of the same signal type (circularly polarized), and the LNB will work from the low kU band (11.2 GHz) to the top end of the kU band (12.7 GHz) with one LO setting for the LNB (10750 MHz) as for that LNB you mentioned I have never heard of that brand.

so you know where they live?
cause it can be done on smaller depending on locationwe,ll friend if he can get a hold of a 24 inch oval dish he might get it but no better signal then a 30 inch,and good luck on finding a 24 inch dish this days,lol,,:yes:

[dishuser]

friend?
and it was 6 months ago I posted...lol

If you are using a Starchoice Oval dish then it's not going to work as the focal point is wrong. For 118 & 119 together you need a special low frequency 10750 circular Lnb. A standard 11250 lnb will not bring in 118

Yes you can use a *choice dish as long as you know how and what your doing.... It is a bit of work and creativity but the easiest way Is to make your own bracket by measuring the old bracket for the LNB and getting the correct angle.
I taped a LNB to one side and was able to get 119 while using the *choice system as normal, but had to point the end in slightly to work.....the question is do you want to spend the time to do this or not, that's up to you. Might be a interesting project.

But the focal point is the key to the possibility of it working

The LNB info given is correct.

[Glatt]

118.8 is a Linear LNB

[StanW]

118.8 is a Linear LNBYou have to stop spewing gibberish. 118 requires the special low frequency circular lnb.

[Glatt]

It is linear and circular LNB 9750 and 10750!
All LNB's are linear except Dish and Direct which are circular!

[StanW]

It is linear and circular LNB 9750 and 10750!
All LNB's are linear except Dish and Direct which are circular!
I see - live and learn I guess. ....... refresh my memory, 118 is broadcast by who ? Makes one wonder which technology bell uses :noidea:
