You need to use a Universal LNB for Intel9 / PAS 9

Standard LNB L.O. = 10750

Universal LNB (can't use a 22Khz switch)
Low L.O. = 9750
High L.O. = 10600

Yes. Start at your True South Sat.
Did you get all the necessary info from a Sat Setup Page?

Newfoundland is NF for Province code (or now NL)

as you can see on the maps, they're a wee far apart (thats like saying Maine and Minnesota are the same)

I am a little southwest of you on Prince Edward Island. I used ONN (Horizons 2, 11734) as it was the most dependable. PBS is great but reception can forecast rain – no need to wait. There is a great tool I found through this site (http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/Satellite-Heading-Calculator.htm). It can even help with trees and such. Good luck.

shoot

you have a couple options
switch to circular LNB and aim at Dish 61.5

if you go linear, there are a couple options...neither of which are near by
I1R at 45W has a channel on 11629 H 2207 (need Universal LNB) and footprint covers the whole US & most of canada


the other one would be SBS6/Horizons 2 at 74W. I would say 72W but the footprint looks bad by the rock...like 120cm dish possibly
74 has a better footprint


Honestly you can use any satellite you want. Just USALS the motor to the spot and aim from there

yep that is probably the best way. Get 61.5 peaked as best you can then switch to linear and try the other sats

No, needs to be circular. Almost any DishNet or DirecTV LNB will do.
