starchoice dish to disecq switch

[stiff_014]

Hi Gud Pm. Just want to ask i have currently running 110 118/119 129 in disecq switch, can I add a starchoice dish to add 97 sat to my currently diseqc switch?

[StanW]

Sure - as long as you're not using starchoice lnbs.

[stiff_014]

but if i want to use starchoice lnbs what should my best bet? or should i replace that lnbs? should i buy an lnb to get 97? but i think that lnb(starchoice) is compatible with 97?

[StanW]

Starchoice lnbs don't work with fta stbs .

[satchick]

They do... They're just standard linear LNBs. Nothing special about them.

[stiff_014]

So i will replace that starchoice lnb with fta lnb to work with my disecq

[StanW]

No - satchick is correct , the sc lnb will work with a linear satellite ( missed that in your first post) . You can connect it to the available port on your switch.

Thank you Stan thank you Stan. Last question I am using sonicview 8000 reciever is that ok?

[stiff_014]

Hi satman can i Use my sonicview 8000 on starchoice dish and lnb

[sideswiper]

Sure you can use it.

[stiff_014]

[jvvh5897]

Sure. All true FTA boxes should work just fine.

I agree. *choice lnb are for ku band. set it to 10750 and will work for 97w & 101w. It did work for me at one point in time.

Thanks guys , try harder this afternoon to get that bird but still cant get it, its too hard, I got 99% signal but quality is 5%. I trried 2 lnb one original starchoice and the the other one is Linear lnb the shape is like the DTV dish so i can insert it it the arm of superdish and starchoice dish. i already have 8291 110119118 and 129 those are easy for me, But that 97 that was really challenge. i use star choice 60e also use modified superdish large elliptical dish i dont want to go larger coz its too bog for me I only need one channel on that bird. Thanks for all the support.

you might need a 75cm to get 97.......


the new xku lnbs wont work with fta but the old quads and dual stacked stuff works well.........

[catthepatch]

The *choice lnbs that are combos have an internal 22Khz switch in them so you may need to set that to get it to work.

Happy Testing!!!

what do you mean? turn on the 22khz switch to on on my reciever?
