are you working with a fixed system or motorized?

If motorized you'd want to aim at your true south instead of 121 (dont know why you picked that...do you mean 123?)...NoDak would be a true south of 97 through 103 depending on where ya are

Also, that transponder on 121 isnt active..see thelist for active transponders

what other stuff do you have (ie: motor maybe?)

if its a fixed system, what satellite did ya want to aim at?

Thanks a lot, it's a fixed system and want to aim at EchoStar 9/Galaxy 23, what I should set for lnb High, lnb Low and Tp Freq?

There is nothing on 121 other than "you have a dish at 121"

There's nothing worthwhile on Ku-Band at 121w, but there's plenty on C-Band. He might be looking at those channels on Lyngsat, not realizing that they are C-Band.

Four digit frequency numbers are C-Band, and those channels will require at least a 6 foot dish and a C-Band LNB.
