LNB Questions???

[hockycraze12000]

I have an LNB and a bracket and I was wondering if I can get 119 and 118.7 with this LNB. I'm currently only on one sat (110) with one dish. I think pictures are better than words so I uploaded some pics.

The labelling on the LNB says:

ARIZA

DSS DUAL LNBF
INPUT - FREQUENCY 12.2-12.7 GHZ
L.O. - FREQUENCY 11.25 GHZ

No you need a linear LNB for 118 and a NE Plus Ultra bracket for easy installation.
118.8/119 Single Circular LNB for both 119 & 118.8W

[Costactc]

Low band circular with 10750 lnb frequency, the one your using is 11250.

Use one of these hummers.

So the one i have will only get 110 and 119?

And the dish he is using in the photo.

Glatt....How is the signal getting by all those LNB's to the dish?????......................LOL

119 or 110 not both, you will need 2 LNB's for 2 satellites, or a DPtwin for both, just drop the LNB I posted into that bracket, re-align the dish and your set.

The LNB says is a dual, that's not 2 satellites but 2 outputs for 2 receivers.

I already have 110 on a 18 inch dish, do you think it will work just for 110 and 119 with this switch?

By the way, thanks for all the help!

[Terryl]

If you want 118 you have to use a bigger dish, 118 is much weaker then 119, that is why they came out with a Dish 500+ it has 110, 118 and 119.

Your bracket (not a switch) will hold a second LNB, but to make things easer they have a DP twin LNB that has 110 and 119 on it with 110/119 on 2 outputs at once.

looks like this.10446 and you need the "Y" mount for it, looks like this10447

Thanks a lot, I can get international on 61.5 too so that's ok.

But this bracket and LNB should work with 110 and 119 on a 18 inch dish right?

[Terryl]

Yes that bracket and 2 LNB's on an 18" dish will get 110 and 119.

But 18" might be too small for your area, you can check here for the estimated dish size for 110/119 in your area.

Just enter your zip or postal code and select the 110/119 option under satellites, then zoom in on your location, click the mouse on your place and this will give you an estimated dish size, and the direction elevation and skew for those satellites, also a line pointing to the satellites.

thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it, just one more question...

if i get 110 right now, is 119 guaranteed or is it based on my dish size?

[bkr™]

Not guaranteed, the dish 18" is not skewable which probably is needed, the lnb holder you have may not have the proper offset to match the skew angles necessary for your location to pick up 2 separate sat locations. The skewable dishes are 20" for the dish 500 and 20" x 24" for the dish 500+. But you can try, that is why they call it testing.

Thanks a lot, time to take out the ladder!
