    Help with LNBs

    Thanks for the replies guys. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you all earlier. I picked up a Aspen FTA LNB, but the 211K receiver won't see it. Tried it with a SW21. No go either. As I say my main issue is for 129. I get really low values, mainly due to the fact that Dish has dropped the...

    Help with LNBs

    Sorry I should have mentioned that. The arm on the 36" dish is rectangular so I can't use a standard D-Shaped Dish LNB. I tried fashioning a Y-yoke on to the end, but I don't think the LNB is aimed at the center of the dish, so I still don't get real good quality. Thanks, Shredder83

    Help with LNBs

    Hey Guys. I live up in Canada, but pay for Dish Network through Dish, no broker. I am getting low readings on 129 (Due more to the values being lower for the VIP211 receiver). I want to use a 36" dish to help bring the signal in better, but I have never seen a dish that big that uses the...

    Issue aiming 1000.2 dish

    I get that. I was wondering too if it was too small for here. Any one know if the 1000.4 dish can be put on the 1000.2 mount? Will the arm be the right size for the convergence of the LNBs? Thanks, Shredder83

No trees for miles. :-) I have checked for plumb, but wondering if the weight of the dish might be pulling it off plumb a little. Will need to go back and check when I get time. I live up in Canada, I...

    Issue aiming 1000.2 dish

    Seems that what ever direction I move it, I lose signal. I tried aiming again, this time with a older 301 model receiver. I see the levels are different between the 211K and the 301. My 301 showed around 45-50 on 119. Couldn't get higher than that. Decided to go to my usual dish and dual LNB...

    Issue aiming 1000.2 dish

    Hey guys, I am new here. Just trying to setup a 1000.2 dish. I have it aimed and get all three birds, but my levels are real low. Under 30 on all TPs. I assume that since I am seeing all birds, that I have it pointing in the right direction. Is it possible to get signal in one spot, then...
