I have a international channel through dish network on Satellite 61.5 but signal is very weak can i change the angle to 118.7? is it same thing as 61.5?
 
Yeah but if i point to 118.7 angle should i get the same channel I'm getting now through 61.5?
 
61.5 is a DBS sat.
118.7 is a FSS sat.
It will not work, the Dish's are made different, requires different types of LNBF's
and a installer to make it work.

Where are you? is the magical question. Besides internationals, what other programming do you have?

Most international on 61.5 are duplicated on 118.7. If you also have an AT package or lil locals, the 500+ is the way to go. If you want HD, the 1000+ may be what you need.

As was already pointed out, the Dish 300 looking at 61.5 will not work with 118.7.
 
Look at the LIST on the tabs at the top of this page and see if your programming is on 118.75.
 
I have a America's Top 250 $54.99
GoldHD with PlatinumHD $20.00
Digital Home Advantage Mega Pack with Locals $59.99
State/Local Tax $00.58
Total ----------------
$135.56

That is what im paying for last all most 2 years

AT the moment i have a dish 1000 pointing (129 119 110) with three LNB and one dish 500 is pointing 61.5 angle and cable connect through dish 1000 to my HD receiver
 
some of the programing has changed, if you have the 1000 dish then the 1000 plus should work just fine, gives you one dish, instead of 2. what is your signal strength for your dishes?
yes all of them
 
Satellite 110 signal strength 70

Satellite 119 signal strength 105

Satellite 129 signal strength 25

Satellite 61.5 signal strength 45
 
dish told me it would cost me 100.00 to get my locals in hd cause i have to get another satellite for 61.5 thats a reap off
 
I just call dish network and told me that make 18 month contract again and will install latest DISH 1000 Plus for you free.
