Getting echostar 118

[greko6666]

Will one of these lnb work to be able to catch 118.8 anik f3?

Thank you

Look for CB2008A LNB,that one will get you 118/119 together,on Freg 10750.

No, these are frequency 11250 you need 10750.

Ok thank you very much

It can receive 118 and 119 on the same output or one coax 118 and 119 the other?

[reggiesout]

It would be on the same output, i.e. one coax for both.

One more question : if I get a starchoice dish, will I be able to get 118?

This all depends on your location, 118 is a weaker satellite then 119, use the link below to find out if you need a bigger dish or not, it will provide an active footprint for 118W, zoom into your location and click on it with your mouse, this will give you the estimated dish size needed at your location for good reception of 118W.

Ok so the lnb will be fine, the size of the dish is what I should verify?

The link is for 118.8W, it just says 119 as they are almost at the same orbital location.

So an 18" dish will work at your location, then all you need is the special LNB for 118/119 and the mount for it to be used with that starchoice dish, but I would look around for a Dish 500 Plus setup, it has the mount for both the 110, 118/119 LNB's.

A Dish 500 plus.

Ok, but if I also have a normal bell dish with 2 lnb, can I just replace one of the lnb will the special 118-119?
That way I would have 110,118,119 or at least be able to get 118? The most important for me is to at least get 118 and without having to buy extra dish

Thank you very much btw for your help

No problem with that setup to get 118.8!

[Terryl]

Yup as Glatt said, no problems with that setup.
