Finding 118

[cmcnabb]

I've got a 1000.2 pointed at 110, 119, and 129. I'm adding a Dish 500 with a dpp dual lnb connected to the 1000.2's external lnb port that I'd like to point at 118, However when I set it to the angles specified by the satfinder program, I end up with the message that port 4 is disabled due to being a duplicate of 119 when I go to the 'details' part of the point dish screen.

Any tips?

118.7 requires a different LNB and Dish. You will need a Dish 1000+ or 500+

Ah. Thanks for the info. Would I be able to pickup 121 with the dish 500? I don't believe I have line of sight to either 61.5 or 148.

The 118.7 Dish 1000+ has a large squarish LNB enclosure with 2 drops on the bottom, one for each satellite. The 129/110 LNBs are on side brackets off the the sides of the big 118.7/119 LNB. If you have 3 similarly sized LNBs or a triple enclosure you do not have the right dish.

Never mind. Found the answer myself.

Just have to get the neighbor to chop down the big oak between me and 61.5, and I'm set.

If you are looking to 61.5 for international channels, you may be in for a problem. Dish appears to be making the move to all internationals on 118.7 only. It looks like they will be turning off the 61.5/121/148 copies in the near future.
