XKU LNB Question

[domando1069]

Hello
Can I use a Shaw 60 cm dish with a xku lnb to receive satellite 103????
Thanks

If you mean to get the free to air channels on 103W, such as NBC, Cozi, NHK, etc. the answer is, you might. The 60e is a bit small, but it might be possible. I haven't tried aiming a 60e at 103W (but have some success with other satellites, see my signature below).

The LNB (left one from behind the dish) that is on centre requires the standard LO of 10750, with 22KHz turned on.
The LNB (right one from the behind dish) that is off centre is the xku LNB and requires a LO of 10070 with 22Khz turned off.

A larger dish would be better, but the 60e might work, as some of the signals are fairly strong. Good luck!
