Thread: Need Help ASAP plz plz plz

I have a Coship CDVB8133A receiver , i live in Irving Texas 75063 , i'm not sure what dish i need ,or how big is it and what kind of Lnb ,also interesting in watching 2m morocco , Al Maghribia. somebody said i can find them on galaxy 25 or 19 , also they said Telstar 5. plz any help is really appreciate it.

Haven't found anything on that receiver. Could it be a 3188 model ?
1. A 36" offset dish with a standard linear lnbf , will be fine for the satellite at 97W.
2. The satellite at 97W is currently named Galaxy 19, but WAS Galaxy 25 WAS in that position, and several years ago Telstar 5 was in the same position, with the same programming.
Welcome to the best FTA satellite forum on earth.

yes sir you're right it is 3188 sorry, but for some reason i couldn't find Galaxy 19 !!! i appreciate your time , thx a lot.

one more Q , do u think any dish will work like dish network ??

Sat names change all the time, the orbital location is the constant.
97 west is what Sat you are aiming for, currently called Galaxy 19.
Now it does not matter how it's listed in the Coship Receiver. In the Setup Menu, look for any of the 3: Galaxy 19, Galaxy 25, or Telstar 5. If none of those are listed, look for any Sat that has 97 west for it's location. When you find the Sat, you must select the proper LNB options - it's not plug-n-play. Look on the LNB, there should be a sticker with the info, you are looking for "L.O." usually "10750" or "Low:9750 / High: 10600".
Now look for "Transponder" or "TP" on that same setup menu, select and look for 12152 in the list. If 12152 is not listed, go here "http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?page=97+Galaxy+25" for more active transponders.

Using your Zip Code, Dishpointer.com comes up with:

:void(0)" target="_blank">Full-screen

Address: 75063
Latitude: 32.9123°
Longitude: -96.9800°
Satellite: 97.0W Galaxy 19
Elevation: 51.7° Dish Elevation
Azimuth (magn.): 175.7° Using a Compass

If at all possible, take the Receiver and small TV to the dish, set Dish Elevation, and slooooooowly move the Dish to the proper compass reading and beyond. When the Quality meter lights up, you should be good. Dish Elevation markings are known to be off a few degrees, so don't be afraid to tweak a little for better readings.

one more Q , do u think any dish will work like dish network ??

I doubt it.
You can not use a Dish Net or DirecTV LNB. You must use a "Linear" LNB.

Actually, Telstar 5 = Intelsat Americas 5 = Intelsat 3005 = Galaxy 25 , ie all the same satellite, just with name changes. No wonder people get confused. Bad enough when new sats replace old, or sats move to new positions, but when they change the names of the same sat, it's doubly confusing.

Guys thank you so so much for all ur help , one lat Q , i promise i won't ask again , if u dont mind just give me a name of the dish and LNB so when i go to buy i'll have a name to tell them.

There are many different Brands and Models for each, and everyone has an opinion.
I'd buy the biggest dish you can afford, and a decent LNB is about $15 - $20.
If you are not buying locally, try one of the Gold Sponsors like SatelliteAV and GalaxyMarketing.
