    Possible to use the AU9/AT9 DTV dish for DN on 118.7?

    Ahhhhh, didnt know that. So really I should just need to source out a 1000.4 dish and get the 118.7 LNB and mount it straight up and that way I got the fine tuning adjustments. Thanks dahenny. Dixit

    Possible to use the AU9/AT9 DTV dish for DN on 118.7?

    Got it. But those fine adjustment for elevation and azimuth would be money in locking into the peak of 118.7 very easily. I gotta take a look at AU9/AT9 dish and the Dish Network + dish to see if this is possible, if so this will make the alignment a snap. Dixit

    Possible to use the AU9/AT9 DTV dish for DN on 118.7?

    Yeap I just cant see myself doing the dish without it these days. When I repositioned my DTV dish (after having my roof redone) I put the DTV Dish myself on the side of the house on the trim side and got it mounted, and aligned in a matter of 1hr. If I didnt have those fine adjustments, I...

    Possible to use the AU9/AT9 DTV dish for DN on 118.7?

    So in the process of moving my 61.5 (Dish500) single LNB dish over to the newer 500+/1000+ for the 118.7 satellite since the Indian channels are on 118.7 and I keep hearing they will be phased out of the 61.5 soon (since they are already gone from the 148). Now I just recently setup a 1000+...

    Direction to point Dish for Indian channels 61.5 or 148?

    I thought I was right when I assumed that the dish still sees 22-25degrees above the lnb, but that dishpointer website through me off where it says "elevation" and when you mouse over it says this is the actual elevation of the signal and when you click the show obstacles it shows another point...

    Direction to point Dish for Indian channels 61.5 or 148?

    Dang..... So Im screwed with this used dish I guess. Unless I somehow magically can get the 61.5 to work (which should work with this existing dish and lnb). But having a 10 degree elevation is going to be almost impossible from just looking at the angle. Dixit

    Direction to point Dish for Indian channels 61.5 or 148?

    I have a used Dish500 setup, but not sure if the LNB is the one I need. We were planning on reusing this Dish and a receiver (extra one that I have). Attached are pics of what the LNB looks like (its 110 on one side and 119 on the other side). Was wondering if this LNB will work and I can...

    Direction to point Dish for Indian channels 61.5 or 148?

    That would explain that then. Good deal, guess 118.7 it will have to be for us. I shouldnt have any issues getting to that bird using say a Dish500 right? Again remember all I care about is pointing to that bird only with that dish, I dont care about any other birds in the sky. Makes me...

    Direction to point Dish for Indian channels 61.5 or 148?

    So looking at Dishpointer.com and looks like trying to hit 61.5 from Seattle (where Im setting up a dish at my brothers house for indian channels) is probably not going to happen. Elevation is like 10degrees, wont be able to clear much of any of the trees or even neighbors house. My dish...

    How to disable Tuner 2 on Dish 625?

    Got it, so I guess I can just get a hold of one of these splitter/separator Dish part 123254 like this one (DISH Network Dish Pro Plus DPP Separator (ES148534) - DISH Network - 123254 - - DISHPro Plus DPP44 DP44DPP 44 seperator seperater separater DPP DP sep DPP-44 Dish pro plus dish pro adaptor...

    How to disable Tuner 2 on Dish 625?

    I ask because I seem to be getting conflicting information on this LNB. The splitter (i think you are referring to) is the Dish 123254 but its saying has to be used with a DPP Dual LNB. I definitely dont have that. Some say I need this newer model Single LNBF where its just a single coax...

    How to disable Tuner 2 on Dish 625?

    So all I have to do is use a special 1 into 2 splitters that are meant for satellites? BTW I actually got on a ladder and got up near the sucker and this model LNB is: BS1B1UP001M. I remember when I put it on there was two coax connections on it (even though its a single LNB) and I only ran...

    How to disable Tuner 2 on Dish 625?

    Well I shouldve mentioned that when the single LNB failed, I ended up just buying a cheap used Dish500 Dish and an LNB from a local Dish installer. It was like $20. Attached is a picture. I dont know this is considered the pro dish equipment or not. But you can see the LNB and Dish is...

    How to disable Tuner 2 on Dish 625?

    I dont believe I have a Dish Pro equipment. I used to just run a simple 18" round dish (actually used to be a directv dish) and single LNB. I i used that to the DP301 Dish receiver. Then the LNB died and got a used dual LNB with a slightly larger dish (about 20"). Its only pointetd to the...

    How to disable Tuner 2 on Dish 625?

    I just replaced my DP301 with a Dish 625 DVR. However I really dont have any use of the dual tuner. I just got this receiver from my mom as she didnt need it anymore. Now the problem is when I wire the coax to just Tuner 1 it works fine, but anytime I turn the receiver off and back on, it...
