is it possible to get 110 and 119 with a 6' CM and 2 LNBs?

i have been tryin but no luck as yet, i think i may need to focus the dish to the weakest sat (110) and use the offset lnb for 119.

anyone has any pic or guidelines on doin this?

Well the LNB's have to be spaced right and in the right spot in the focal point, also these 2 satellites are 9 degrees apart, the dish needs to have enough receive beam width to get a proper signal to the LNBs.

Also when aiming the dish you’re going to have to be pointing it between the two satellites or you won’t have enough signal on one LNB.

Dishpointer.com has pointing info for these two satellites, enter your location and zoom in as close as you can to where your mounting the dish, this will give you a idea as to here to point the dish.

yes it can be done. post a picture of the 6' feet fiber glass dish from the right angle, I'll let you know where the LNB for 110 goes....................

thanks guys. . .

this was what i was sayin i would do, 110 signal here is kindda weak, but 119is way stronger. . .

just an example: when usin the pansats to aim at 119 my TPs are never under 85% most are in the 90s and others 99%.

but with 110 is weaker, so i was sayin i would aim the dish at 110 with the the lnb in the holder and find 119 with the offset.


in the pic is the dish at 119
