Hi guys,

Thanks for your help

You need a low frequency lnb aimed at 119/118 and sometimes a slightly larger dish to receive that satellite.

I have dish network 1000.2 DPP. Would it be enough?

It looks like your dish is big enough, but your lnbs are all toghether you can't get 118.7 from those lnbs.

I can get some 118.7 channels like CNN 200 for example. But can't get international channels only, others are working

Sorry you cant get 118.8 with a Dish 1000.2, you need a Dish 1000+, it has the two LNBs for 110 and 129, but has the special center LNB setup for 118 and 119, without that LNB all you can maybe get is the last 4 or 5 transponders on 118, then it will peter out.

You need that special LNB and the bigger dish for 118.

One way to do it is the use a second dish (about a 30" or larger) with the DP LNB for 118 on it, then run that output to the LNB input on the Dish 1000.2's LNB.

Thanks Terryl,
If i well understand the dish is size enough, however the issue is with the LNB. So if i add an additional LNB on same dish and connect it to LNB IN, can this work?
