I am running a superdish with 110, 119, 121. To convert to 118.7, I was told 2 solutions. First, buy DN repoint kit, and cost is about 100, and the 129 is ready to go because the repoint kit comes with a braceket for 129. (Also I have to adjust dish angel or skew a little bit)
Second, buy the circular Lnb CB2008A and replace current 119 Lnb. The cost is about 30. I would like to do this way, but could anybody tell me how to add 129 later on? Is there any braceket I can buy?
If 129 is important to you and you are not comfortable installing your own - get the repoint kit. On the other hand, the CB2008A and a standard dual can sit on a bracket and scan 118.7/119 and 129. The bracket that is on your dish may not be able to house the CB2008A. There is also the question of bringing the signals into your home. The switching might be difficult with home made set up, whereas the repoint kit will do everything nicely for you and they will come and install it all for you
Nalin Nyda, Thank you for answering my question, but could you explain more explicitly about "On the other hand, the CB2008A and a standard dual can sit on a bracket and scan 118.7/119 and 129. The bracket that is on your dish may not be able to house the CB2008A."......
I know I need to get a swtich dp44 to get 110,119, 118.7 and 129 signals to receiver.
If you go the DIY route you may have to change the bracket or make some home made mounting adjustments. The CB2008A is a dual LNB - It puts out both 118.7 and 119 on each of the two outputs very nice for diseqc switch, but -- I do not know its compatibility with the dp44. When you have a four input and more than one output situation, you will have to have a lot of patience and testing in DIY mode, but very few problems if DN comes and does the installation. I am not saying it is not possible, - it is just more time consuming and troublesome.
The other question I have is if buy CB2008A, then I only have 3 input, which is 110, 119/118.7, and 129. In this case, could I still use dp34 switch to get all signals to receiver?
whether the repoint kit or cb2008A, the 118/119 lnb has dual outputs, one is for 118 and the other is 119, you will still need a different switch than dp34 to your boxes.
dp34 only take 3 sats.
in your case, 110/118/119 is already taking all the 3 inputs on dp34.
the repoint kit may cost a lot, but less headache on modifying the brackets.
