119 Satellite

[ejb1980]

Good evening, knowledgeable satellite guys people.

I have never set up a dish before in any way, shape, or form, other than pushing mine a little cuz I was loosing HD too easily in the rain. I would like to upgrade to receive the 119 satellite. I am SWM connected, receivers in signature. Three questions:

1. Would I need anything other than this:

?

2. What is the install like? Is it just popping the current 3 LNB (with 1 round white thing) and replacing it with the new one? How easy is it? I can't seem to find a video about this specific swap.



3. Is there any re-aligning that would need to be done? My dish is on my neighbor's balcony and I would hate to have to keep walking through his apt to make adjustments.

Thanks very much.

First thing is to get the SL5S SWM lnb and not the one you linked to. second you may get lucky and just be able to swap them out and rerun the setup.

the H25 will only work on SWM.

Going from a 5 to a 3, you probably don't need to make any adjustments. From a 3 to a 5 you may, since it hasn't been adjusted to get the 119 yet.

BTW, why do you want to get the 119 satellite? Is there a particular channel there?

I am just one of "those" people. I have to tune in everything available. My antenna has to receive all TV/radio stations it possibly can, even if I will never want to watch/listen to all of them. Since there are channels on the 119 that we all pay for and yet are not on the 3-LNB setup, and I have never tried to tune a satellite dish, I am considering it for my next mission as I have exhausted TV and radio for my area with my current antenna. Also, although not a Spanish speaker, I enjoy baseball on Fox Deportes, should I ever feel motivated to add the Spanish package, and my local Telefutura is not HD (it's a subchannel so it's not on Directv and not HD on cable either) and SD soccer is lame.
