Trying to add 118.8 using dish 500 but I keep getting 119 instead. This is a test for now so I am using only one LNB with the dish.
Here are the software settings:
LNB POWER: ON
LNB TYPE: STANDARD
LNB FREQ: 10750
22KHZ: OFF
TP FREQ: 12239
DISECQ: NONE
MOTOR: OFF
LEGACY SW: NONE
Any good pointers would be appreciated.
what rcvr? What type lnb you have? Post what it says on the lnbQuote:

Any tp higher than 12224 will be on 119. 11806 may be a better choice. I have picked up anik f3 on a dish 500 using the right lnb, but a bigger dish would be better.
you need a special lnb to get 118Quote:

That LNB will not work for 118, only 119 that is why your not getting a thing on 118.Quote:

Thank you all for the replys.
I know this may be a total noob question but will any of the circular-dual-ku-band-lnbs do? or does it have to have certain parameters only to work?
read post #6. It is a special lower frequency (10750) circular Lnb.Quote:

The satellite used for 118 is an older one, it is about 1/2 the output power as the one used for 119.
