Can someone verify that you need a linear LNB for Echo 9 and not the same LNB as is used for Echo 7 119Deg? If this is the case do I need a new dish as well or just a new lnb on a 20" dish?
Here is a list of satellites and the correct lnb's to use with them:
61.5W Echo 3 - use standard circular lnb - 11250 MHz 63W Estrela - use linear lnb, either universal or standard linear- 10750 MHz 71.8W Nahuel 1- linear lnb, either universal or standard linear- 10750 MHz 77W Echo 4 - circular standard lnb - 11250 MHz 79W Amc 5 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 82W Nimiq 2 - circular standard lnb= 11250 MHz 87W Amc 3 - --- linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 91W Galaxy 11- linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 MHz 91W Nimiq1&3- circular lnb standard= 11250 MHz 93W Intelsat 6- linear lnb, either universal or standard-10750 MHz 95W Galaxy 3c- linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 97W Intelsat5- linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 101W Amc 4 - linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 MHz 103W Amc 1- linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 MHz 105W Amc 15- linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 MHz 107.3W Anik - linear lnb, either universal or standard- 10750 MHz 110W Echo 8 & 10,X - circular lnb standard - 11250 MHz 111W Anik f2 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 116.8W Satmex5 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 119W Echo 7 - circular lnb standard - 11250 MHz 121W Echo 9 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 123W Galaxy 10r - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 127W Galaxy 13 - linear lnb, either universal or standard - 10750 MHz 129W Echo 5 - circular lnb standard - 11250 MHz 148W Echo1 & 2 - circular lnb standard - 11250 MHz
I believed you will need a different lnb for eko 9, and require bigger dish, I can't certain how big, but it seems to be circulating at least 30 inches.
and if you want to get international on eko 9, sooner or later, they will move to 118.7 which is anik/f3.
still need bigger dish for that, and there are repoint kit for converting the super d, or you can get a generic 118/119 lnb.
something related to this topic... is echostar 7 going to remain the same and we will still get those channels ..or echo 7 is changing to echo 9.... what exactly is the difference and advantage if any?
