what to do with this dish?

[rocabate]

i already have one dish pointing to 119¤.
any suggestion to this rookie?

[DaddyOof4]

point it at 110, or 129 if you want HD

[Anubis]

Looks like it has a dual lnb. Use it for 110 and 119 and use your single(current one) for 129 if you want HD and have a HD receiver or if a sd receiver you can point it to 91 for BEV.

I didn't think we could use Star Choice dishes for Echostar receivers that use circular signals?
I think Star Choice use linear LNBs - so probably could use for real FTA satellites.

[satchick]

You can't use that LNB for circular polarized satellites (Dish, Bell). If the dish is the larger 75E, you can use it to pick up stronger FTA channels. Since the dual LNB has a 4 degree spacing, you can use it for 97/101. You could also point it to any number of FTA satellites.


www.ftalist.com has a listing of some of the FTA channels up there. There are more not included in that list as well.

or you can add some to it to get the circular sat.
this is a 65e *choice.

Easy set-up with ball-joint bracket!

[Anubis]

Have to know..
How tall is the building in front of the dish And what is the size of the tree on the left?

[Anubis]

Any reason with some mods he can't use this for what I suggested?

*choice monoblock lnb is linear for Ku band.(9750-10750 mhz)
for 110°, 119° you need circular lnb.(11250mhz)

This is information on how to modify a slimline dish and use a dish network 1000.2 adapter so you can use 3 dish pro lnb’s for satellites 110,119,129 on 1 dish. Works good for 119/110 too!

The direct-tv slimline dish is of better quality than the dish network dishes and is larger than the dish network dish 1000 and 1000.2 Bigger dish = better signal and quality. The perfect candidate for dss hd sats.

First you will need to get a slimline dish. It doesn’t matter which one as you will not be using the lnb that came with it.

Next you will need 3- dp pro lnb’s and a dish network 1000.2 lnb adapter.

DONT USE A DISH NETWORK 1000 LNB ADAPTER AS IT WILL NOT WORK.


That’s all the parts, so lets get started.

1- Mark the lnb arm just before the arm starts to bell. (pic#1)
2- Cut it off using a hacksaw make sure it is square and file it smooth, inside and outside of the arm (pic#2)
3- Separate the 1000.2 adapter and cut the 4 tits off the adapter so the lnb arm will slip all the way into the lnb adapter and hit the stop. (pic#3 and #4)
4- Assemble and install your modified dish. (pic#5)

This is a breeze to set up and align. You will also get more signal and more quality as compared to the dish 1000 or a 1000.2 dish. Good luck jimzilla.

point center at 97w you can have 91,82,97,101,110,119,129 all in one dish thats how i had mine, now i have many more lnbs added to get even more sats
