PR Satellite Set up

[Alex6301]

There's anyone know which Dish they used in PR? Dish500,1002 or 1004 and which Satellites are they shoothing?

 

[Mr Tony]

none of the above

They use 4 to 6 foot dishes in Puerto Rico and use mainly 119 & 110. Lots of HD is on spotbeam on 110

Presently.....we have to use 2 seperate 4 foot for 119 & 110....although have heard reports that now for 110....new installs r getting smaller dishes. Also heard that sometime next year...after E14 is put at 119...Dish will provide a small single dish solution for getting 119/110.

also legacy switches r used here.

Like Iceburg said:

61.5 with a 5.5 footer


119 with 4.5' foot
110 with a 2' foot

Lot's of hd in 110

I have my 119 and 110 with a lnb bracket for 2 lnb in one sat

I envy u pal...because the installer that came to my house for installing 118 really screwed my setup...& now I have 119 in 1, 118 in 1, no dual lnb bracket & 110 is tied & hanging with 1 of the arm sat (although I m getting signal...its drop from high 70s/low 80s to mid 40s.

I do my satellites instalation I got a 22" dish getting a glaxy 25 at 93 three aztecas channels and a 4.5' with nss 806 c band with a conical scalar ring

I don't know why he did that because there is a lnb that captures 119 and 118 at the same time and you can use the 119 and 110 bracket

good to know with the smaller dish you get most of the HD
I assume the dish is too small for the CONUS stuff?

Iceburg in Puerto Rico all the retaliers here are setting up everbody on 110 with a 2 footer works great for conus

I get mine with a special bracket i made with my 4.5 footer on 119

put the lnb 110 next to the 119 upside down and works great!

good to know....Guess that must have been the old sat on 110 (Echo 6 & 8) with the issue
