Who sells LNB's for 118.75?

[whatchel1]

Is there anyone that sells an LNB for 118.75? I bought one off ebay that claimed that it would work but it must be a legacy since the DPP-44/VIP 722k doesn't recognize that it is attached (but boy does it drive check switch crazy). I looked on Claude's site and nothing. Looked on Sadoun's and all he displays is for the superdish. I have a 33" dish that takes FTA LNB's

I believe you have to buy the 1000 Plus AND and DP44 switch. Expensive. I'd call Dish and see what they would charge to upgrade you to international.

The ones on Ebay are usually Legacy because they were use to hack Dish Network with a DVB receiver (not a Dish receiver)

Do you need just a LNB for the 118.7? I know on EBay there was a full LNB setup. That would be the best bet. I just put in 118.7 and searched

But any of the standalone LNB's that say 118.7 were used to hack Dish Network

I picked up one at Sadoun. It comes with an additonal (single) lnb that I put in my spare parts box.

I already have the DPP44 switch. Don't really want a 1000+ I have a 33" dish I bought for just this purpose.

No one sells just the single LNB

I looked at both Dish Store & Sadoun and saw the combo feed that has the "large 2 sat" LNB and the single 110 LNB. So no one just sells the 118.7 /119 LNBF alone? I have a 33" dish I wanted to use that on and already have 2 Dish 500's w/single feed setups now. I would use the 33 for the 118.7 /119 then 1 of the 500's w/single for 110 and I have a .9 meter dish on 129.
One tech question: I would use the 118.7 /119 combo into the #1 port on the DPP44 then 110 into port 2 and 129 into port 3?
BTW it is due to the fact I can't get NBC, ABC, CW in HD in my area. Would "move" to St Louis for those. Can only pick up the 1st two OTA and the 3rd isn't in HD anywhere. This way I wouldn't have to worry about missing the HD OTA only stations PBS & CW that I can't here. I would then be able to pick 2 other nets off E* sat. The PBS here isn't 24X7 here it only runs shows from 6 AM to 12 PM with no repeats.
Thanks for your help.

Just found the info on the ports that I will need to hook each LNBF to. The 500+ feed has 2 outputs 1 for 119 goes into port 1 the 118.75 goes into port 4 of the DPP44.

Dish Depot has just the 118/119 assy for $69 or 79

I just bought one myself this week off of Ebay. Dude said it was new, but of course it ended up being used. $50 with free shipping. I am hoping that mounting it on a 31" Fortec will be enough to help me "move" to Pittsburgh.

Don't think it will work. Your problem is 129W. The 118.75W HD locals are duplicated on 129W. When you run your check switch and get everthing set up, your receiver will only look to 129W for the locals. Only way you will see them on 118W is to not have 129 active.

I can relate

That is why I'm looking to get one myself. I've got an .8 meter(33") dish to mount it on. Difference is I'm going for the conus St Louis for reason I posted when replying to Iceberg.

 

[lineman20109]

Here are the results so far. The signal seems a little jumpy, between 51 and 61. I plan on removing the motor from the Fortec to make it a little more stable. Does anyone think I can do better on the signal with this setup? Also, am I able to "move" using online chat with Dish instead of calling?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

A 51 - 61 signal should work fine.

 

[lineman20109]

A 51 - 61 signal should work fine.

Thanks! I wasn't sure since it is a different type/weaker signal. Fun little project so far!

Picked this from ebay several years ago. Anyone understand if this one is similar to dish original to get 118 Internationals? Label reads following:

Coolsat Ku-LNBF Model CS-LNBL
RF: 11.70/12.20GHz Gain 60dB
IF: 950/1450MHz NF 0.6dB
IO: 10.75GHz

Thanks

 

[Mr Tony]

no. The fleabay models like that do not work with Dish recievers. You need the Dish 118/119 LNB

 

[whatchel1]

Nope

Searched it out it's Linear pol.

Don't know even if it will work

This isn't the problem at least for the moment. Got the dish 500+ peaked out today. The problem is St. Louis is on 3 tps ; 11,18 & 21. 11 is 37, 21 is 28, and 18 is only 10 at best. 17 which is the one I peaked all the sats on was in the mid to upper 30's at the dish. Now it's only 33, I've got some kind of line loss that is outrageous. So will have to see what can be done about that before I can say wheater it works or not. I don't seem to have the line loss on 110 & 119 though(50's & 60's). So something else is the problem.

 

[aklarvanto]

OK...so it is only good for FTAs...Thanks for info...
