118/119 and 110 is it possible on same dish?

[ak.89]

Hi guys so I have two satellites up on my roof

1st satellite. setup

- I got dual lnb with 118/119 running. initally when i have the guy set it up i told him i want 118/119 and 110 but he said he couldn't catch 110 satellite so is it possible I can catch 110 ? how hard it is to set it up . thanks

So since u got 118/119 already, meaning u have the twin circular lnb and a 30"+ dish correct? Cuz U cannot catch 118 unless u got 30"+ dish

So all u need to do is u need a regular Circular LNB, and attach it to the left side of the 118/119lnb (if u are looking directly at the dish). Just keep going left/up/right/down and u should be able to catch it.

U need something similar to the magic bracket, or there are special metal bracket that is made just for 2lnb's I suggest u get that one...

Look at this picture, this is my sat with 97 in the centre, and I attached 91 using that metal bracket

U would have 118/119 in the middle and the 110 lnb off to the side (or vise versa if u want)

It should work if u have what I stated... good luck!

thanks for ur detail answer. now my problem is that 2 years ago when i had that guy setup my satellite he couldn't catch 110? so if i go and buy the lnb and try to setup my self is there could be a reason i can't catch 110? i am afraid if i try to do it i might screw up my current setup. lol also like i call the guy satellite setup guy and he said its hard to get 110 now and he will try to get 110 first if he is doing setup and once he get that he can get 119 easy now.

thanks for the picture , the problem is that the guy who did my initial setup he said he couldn't catch 110 ? so in different part of provinces is it possible that is not possible to catch 110 and 118/119 on same 30 inch dish?

Where are you? . . . ?

CONUS Echo*11(110.0W) looks pretty good from most parts of Canada. I would have posted a satbeams footprint, but my screenshot is not working. lol.

i am in alberta. canada. also the one problem i notice on one of my receiver *kbox* that some channels not coming and also on some channels it start to freezes i go in menu and check the signal and quality and when ever it freezes it goes doewn like 20% the signal and quality so i think the switch could be gone bad? i heard of that problem but that is a different issue. regarding not catching 110 earlier when we had setup i am not sure u said it is possible but i am in alberta so could be because of that because when i brought my old small dishes from toronto they said they cannot catch signal on that i need bigger dish.

Depending where you are in Alberta. If you are in Red Deer or south of Red Deer 110 and 119 are ok on 30" or so. In Edmonton for 110 a 36" or bigger dish should be used. You can then get 119 and 118 with a bracket and putting a LNB next to 110 but 110 should be on the center. If you are in Calgary or further south you are golden. The signal is very strong there

Now further north of Edmonton; I would say a 1.2 meter dish and bigger is needed for 110

thanks brother that map is awesome yah i am not in red deer and north so i got 30 inch dish and no wonder why i can't catch 110 i probably need 36inch at the time i bought the 30 inch dish i was told i can catch all three here but it sucks i can't anyways. so that solve that problem in order for me to catch 110 , 118/119 on same dish i need atleast a 36 inch dish.

[NOKIA™]

the bigger the dish the better...

if ur just north of calgary ...u need min 36"

and u can get this bracket for it to have all sats on it
