116w with a 7 5'

[truckracer]

Are you guys locking everything on 116.8 w with a 7.5 ? I have a kti 7.5 in the box and I am going to set it up at my other house.

I'm getting ONLY 40 ITC TV channels on my 7 +1/2 KTI in Virginia. BUT...I still need to fine tune the dish and there are a couple trees limiting my results as well.
11 of those channels are not listed on LingSat.
Someone with a better setup hopefully will chime in.

Recently, I swapped out a 7.5' Echostar (I believe to be a rebranded KTI)...

The f/D and focal length were setup to the KTI specs instead of calculated specs. I was getting a lot off of 116.8º, however some transponders weren't the best. In hindsight, I should've worked more with calculated f/D and focal length than printed specs.

On one hand I want every channel I can get...on the other hand I have so many now that it takes me forever to decide what to watch.Decisions,decisions.

Some of those tight fec tp's may be difficult

With the 7.5', the channel (and mux) that rhymes with Bolden was troublesome at times for me on this satellite, again I think it my f/D and focal length settings.

I had better set up another 10'
