Thread: Bandstacked LNB multi-receiver options

I'm looking at the Nasa channels on 87w. On my setup the transponders are the correct polarity with the coax on the left or the right of the lnb but with the coax oriented to the top or the bottom the Nasa stuff show vertical. Scanning with 5150 or 5750 with the S9 gives me double channels, maybe I will try the Pansat or the Mercury 2 to see if they are different. Everything works fine scanning with 5150-5750 selected in antenna settings.

turns out that 2 of the fss lnbs that i had were defective.
i am getting closer to an all bandstacked system!

leaving the LO on the openbox at 10750 yielded 12744 h 22000. the openbox found all the channels i watch, roughly 26 transponders worth of info. i watch about 3 of them.
it duplicated it in V but i deleted all the V tp duplicates so that i can stay on the H side of my zinwell.

Nice work!

If you'll go back to post #5 of this thread, and read the article labeled:
Tech#344 builds his own feedhorns for DishNet 105° LNBs
I think the OP lists which versions of the FSS LNB were good, and which were suspect (likely defective).

(For some reason, the links aren't working right at this moment, but I'm sure the forum will be back to normal soon).

The link I indicated above, doesn't seem to work.
It's an ongoing problem with the forum.
(and the links I've saved)

Here is the actual thread, ...
http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air...witches-2.html
...and I refer you to Tech's post, #19, for more info on good vs bad FSS LNBs.

one of them was on the list.

When Dish first started manufacturing them they had problems with quality control so much so that they issued recalls on lot numbers P310, P311, P312, P410, P411, and P412. Through Experience I have found that lots P30-P45 are also usually bad also. Lots P50+ and the Q lots are much better.

i borrowed the quote as i will be needing the info.
Thanks Anole and Tech#344

Yea, I'm glad you quoted it.
I probably should have, but like to give credit where it'd due.
Tech#344 did us a solid by providing that info.
We should most likely repeat his list every time we discuss those FSS LNBs, just to make sure that knowledge doesn't get lost.

I've also fixed the link in my master list, so next time I paste those three very valuable threads, they'll all work.
