Satellite guys Exclusive! Mad Scientist! 129 ON BOTH SUPERDISHES!

If one can get 105, 110, 119 and 129 on a Superdish, there shouldn't be any reason one couldn't get 61.5, 77 and 85 on a Superdish.

different animals

77 & 85 will be lower powered, due to the proximity of 82 so it will be tough

105 is the only low powered one in your example above

sorry to say that the spacing is too far if you wanted to go with 105 and 61.5 on the same dish

as far as getting 61.5 77 and 85 on one dish you could do that but you would need a 2nd dish to go with the 105-121 slots..

With all these sats now, surely dish is also working on a DPP54 or DPP64 switch.

edited title to reflect the 105 and 121 dish successes.

I tried this tonight with my 105 SuperDish and was surprised to get a 75 signal just by holding my LNB about an inch to the right of the 119 LNB pointed to the center of the dish.

I BELIEVE that this is 129. I was using a FTA receiver outside with the frequencies programmed in. Until I can get the LNB tied down I can't be 100% sure but I am fairly certain that it is.

But that was all I was able to do as we were hit by a major storm which kicked down a few trees and branches.

Next step is to try it on the Dish 1000.

(But first I got to clean up some things around the yard from the storm) (They really need to make weekends longer)

I got it!

I hooked up a free to air receiver of it and found a bunch of locals from 61.5 and 148 in the listings however none were tuneable (not even 9001)

John H said at DBSTalk he is seeing some possible HD activity up there as well.

On my 942 I am seeing the satellite but am not seeing anything off of it yet.

This was a fun project.

Scott, could you please post a list of locked transponders for HD receiver and FTA one ?

**Scott Greczkowski** · 08-06-2005 03:48 PM

THE FTA one is no longer hooked up, but here is what i used.

12253R 20000
12282R 20000
12311R 20000
12428R 20000
12457R 20000
12515R 20000
12268L 20000
12414L 20000
12443L 20000
12472L 20000
12501L 20000

Now on the 942 through the point dish screen here are the transponders for which I can tune to currently

15
16
17

No other transponders are available yet on the 942.

Thanks, same as I reported at DBSTalk before; my thoughts was if 942 could find more 8PSK transponders then my 8PSK card.
We will check them when NIT will populate.
