Modified Superdish

[csmdew]

I have a modified superdish with 110. 119, and 129 capabilities but am unable to get any results from the 129 lnb. When I was using this dish for charlie then I was using a dishpro lnb for 129 and worked fine. Tried that thru my cw and notta, changed to legancy and notta. Have made every possible combo of settings that I could think of for 129 but notta. Any ideas or suggestions. By the way I am using a diseqc in line. Thanks

Try using tp 12516 to get a signal. The first 16 tps on 129 are all spot beamed.

Another thing you should keep in mind is that the majority of content on 129 is HD and not receivable by SD receivers. To the best of my recollection, I believe 12516 is the only SD tp.

Did you re-point and re-skew the dish after you added the 129 LNB??

The dish needs re-pointing, as your now looking at 19 degrees of arc not 9 as before, the dish needs to be pointing directly at 119W as the center satellite.

Go to dishpointer.com and enter your address, then select the multi satellite option and use the 110/119/129 selection, it will give you the new pointing info and skew adjustments.

And be sure to use the TP that Stan mentioned or you will miss it.


Also 129W is a tough bird to tweak in, in some places.

It was used with charlie watching hd but got new hd dish so thought I would use this one for fta. Wil;l wait until I get rid of charlie or iks gets better and use the new dish with a new hd receiver. Thanks all
