Hello everyone....i'm based in the caribbean....have 1.2 m pointing to 119, 1.2 m pointing to 61.5 and 1.8m pointing to 110. all have legacy dual lnbf with sw64 switch. on 61.5 certain channels have been moved to different transponders and since the signal is quite week( guess for my location) cannot pick up those channels. so i have moved my dish to 121, changed the lnbf to a universal one(fortec star) at 45 degree angle and getting a decent signal. got the channels that were missing on 61.5, but i can only catch all this with FTA, cable running straight from the dish. i have a 301.10 and 501. I hooked up my 301 to the 121, did a check switch and it does not recognise the 121. then i checked mark superdish and did check switch, it recognises 121 but do not get a locked signal on all polarities. now my question is which lnbf will work for a 301 reciver on 121 with a sw 64 switch. have i to change the other 119 and 110 to dishpro and use a DP34 switch(have one in spare). Please help.
thanks a lot.

I'll take a wild guess here.

I believe what you said:

- You are using larger generic dishes for 119, 110, and 121, do to your location.
- You are using generic (non-legacy, non-DishPro) LNBF on these dishes.
- You are using a SW64 switch to feed a 301 or 501.

After checking SuperDish, you were able to pick up everything, but not BOTH polarities on 121. This probably has to do with your system was looking for the transponders being BANDSTACKED, which your generic LNBF does not support, nor does the SW64.

Since you are not using a SuperDish 121, but a generic LNBF, I think I would try unchecking SuperDish, but instead - check Alternative (if available), then run Check Switch again. You may need to do this a couple of times, and it may be better if you disconnect everything and ran the check switch first to clear the info.

You may also want to try a DiSEqC switch, but it may be more trouble than its worth if you are trying to feed two DishPro receivers.

What will work?

The DishPro 34 Switch (DP34) and the DishPro Plus 44 Switch (DPP44) will work with DishPro LNBF, DishPro Plus LNBF, SuperDish 121 LNBF, and SuperDish 105 LNBF. EDIT: But will not work with legacy and other non-DishPro LNBF's.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Dish calls some of the LNBF's on the SuperDish a DishPro, but they are compatible as a DishPro LNBF. Likewise, I suspect the same is true for the LNBF used for 118.75W on the Dish 500+ and Dish 1000+.

Bottom Line:
A SuperDish 121 with a DP34 swtich; or maybe
A SuperDish 121 with a DPP44 switch and a Dish 500 for 61.5; or maybe
A Dish 500+ with a DP34, if your programming has moved to 118.75.

thanks a lot for the reply...i shall chk it out...for the 121 i tried legacy lnbf and it does not catch 121.....then tried universal lnbf that catches the signal...and now i am gonna try linear lnbf...i shall let you know of the out come.

thanks once again

You'll need KuFSS LNBF: linear, non-DP for use with SW64, 11.7-12.2 GHz, LOF=10750 MHz.
S
But that LNBF will not work if he uses the DP34 or DPP44, correct?
S
Yes. Correct.
In case of using DP or DPP switch(es) he will need DP KuFSS LNBF ( or bandstacked type ) .

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.
The mod is DVB-S2 8PSK with FEC 5/6.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Not seeing many 4k games on the 148 channels lately?

Also I do not see the 4KFox channel on 148-01; I also do not subscribed to our Local Houston channels.

Maybe I need to subscribe to locals or add the National Action Pack? Not sure the extra cost is worth it??

thx for any info or suggestions

Most of the 4K action on the 148-xx channels will be on Saturday for College Football. For whatever reason, the guide does not show the games until later in the week. The Fox Big Noon game will show up, and there will usually be a couple of other games, some on Fox, and some on ESPN.

I don't know if you need to be subscribed to locals to get them.

Now after reading this story I walked away thinking that this is being blown out of proportion because of the incredibly low numbers of those affected.....BUT....I've read posts by some of you who are taking this drug so I figured it was worth posting.
