LNB/Dish for 129.

[Ronald_Jeremy]

I currently have a dish 500 for 110 and 119 with DPP lnb and another dish with a single DPP LNB that is aimed at 61.5. I need to re-aim the one at 61.5 to pick up 129. Will this same lnb work for 129?

And I lost my link for dish aiming to get the skew, az, and el. The receiver won't give me it for 129.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the same LNB used for 61.5 will work with 129.

What is your zip code?

Gracias!

Oooops.

Cory, your instructions and az/el/skew are for a dish1000.

I don't have a dish1000. As above I have 2 dishes. A dish 500 on 110 and 119. and another roundish dish aimed directly at 61.5.

I need to know the az/el/skew for aiming the single roundish dish directly at 129.

Is it possible to pick up 110, 119 and 129 with a Dish 500? I thought I saw a picture on this site or dbstalk that showed someone tied a single lnb to his 110 and 119 lnbs, and pulled all 3 satellites in on Dish 500. Is it possible?

Found this site that had the angle calculator with el and skew.

I don't want to get all three on one dish. If I try to catch 3 birds I'll have a pretty low signal thus greater rain fade. When I had my initial install I wouldn't let them put in a dish 1000.

 

[corydbstv]

Sorry about that, I just kind of skimmed through your post. Guess I didn't read that part.

But you found the info anyway, correct?

 

[Ronald_Jeremy]

Yes, I found the info. Now if I could find the damned satellite!!!!

The elevation should be the same or close to sat 119. Just aim the dish 9 degrees to your right if you're standing behind the dish.

129 is an FSS
signal is low with dish 1000
if u want problems try it woth 500 but u will have problems, some people in some areas have problems with 1000, so we put a seperate dish 500 didicated to the 129
