Sony san 18d3 shows 101 110 and 119 transponders

Need help Sony san 18d3 shows 101 110 and 119 transponders

I have a Sony SAN 18D3 antenna that is aimed at 101.
I checked the signal strength on the 18d3 and found that there were transponders registering from 101 110 and`119.
I was getting ready to upgrade the antenna to a WNC mutli satellite dish antenna to try to pull in signals from these dishes.
If the Sony SAN 18d3 is already pulling in these signals I will not upgrade but stay with the Sony antenna.

Any advice??

This is a very old Standard Dish set up, so if your able to get a good signal, thats great, but everything will be Standard Def, you will get NO HD from this unit.
I believe you will only get one sat as well, so I would point it at the 101 to get the most channels for your buck.
Thus would be good for a tailgating situation if you get signal.

I only have SD recievers.
I am getting a pretty good signal but am a bit confused as to why the Sony is registering transponders from 110 and 119.

That is the dish that came with my Sony SAT-A2 DirecTV receiver in 1996.
It has a dual output LNB that receives the 101 sat.
If your receiver is registering signals from 110 and 119 it is just some weird anomaly.
BTW, what receiver do you have?

I am running two D10's.
The dish came with my original sony reciever.

Set your receiver to 18" round dish. You have it set to oval 3 LNB or something similar. What you are seeing is the 101 signals repeated as 110 & 119.
