LNB_Qstn Unregistered guest | I want to add another LNB to my superdish to get BEV. How easy is it? What kind of tools i need to add it? Any possibility that I can lose the existing LNBs if I did something wrong when i am trying to add the new LNB? Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated. |
|
Maybe Unregistered guest | Maybe it is possible to use the same LNB for both only able to watch one sat at a time ofcourse? |

Gold Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 1331 Registered: Oct-05 | 1 LNB = 1 satellite |
|
Maybe Unregistered guest | Does that mean an LNB is always fixed on a position? |
|
Gold Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 1332 Registered: Oct-05 | Yes,unless U go on the roof and move it.. |

New member Username: Mail4herePost Number: 6 Registered: Nov-05 | How about dual LNB ? say dual LNB is pointing to 61.5 satellite, so can i get another sat without moving LNB ? thanks in advance |
|
Gold Member Username: Maple_leafPost Number: 1185 Registered: Apr-05 | One LNB, whether it's single output or dual output equals one sat only. If you want another sat besides 61.5, you need another LNB and maybe a dish. |

Gold Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 1335 Registered: Oct-05 | Dual LNB ONLY means it had 2 outputs for 2 receivers,NOT 2 LNB's to receive 2 different satellite signals...that is called a TWIN LNB that receives 2 different satellite signals AND has 2 outputs also..A TWIN LNB is housed/mounted together on 1 dish 1 LNB= 1 satellite (single or dual output) 2 LNB = 2 satellites (twin LNB with dual output) 3 LNB = 3 satellites The LNB's are the "eyes" in front of and attached to the dish...The dish does NOT receive the signal..The roof dish acts as a reflector,and bounces/reflects the signal to the LNB's which via cables sends it to the receivers and then to the TV.. |

Thanks_LK Unregistered guest | Thanks LK! How easy for a newbie to add another LNB (4th) on a superdish-121? I'm afraid I will mess up the working LNBs by mistake then I will have nothing to watch ;) |
|
Gold Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 1338 Registered: Oct-05 | I would add another dish with a single or TWIN LNB...I would NOT mess with the 3 LNB superdish anymore..I presume u have 110-119-121 on the superdish..I have heard that the 61.5 might be moving or going away...I don't think that satellite is worth it,myself..maybe U want 91W Bev, but with the present 3LNB's U should have many channels.. |
|
Thanks_Again_LK Unregistered guest | Yes I have 110, 119 and 121 now and I'm willing to give up 121 for 91w. My landlord won't let me add another dish. If I use 91w for 121, would you recommend that LK? Will that be easy to do? Thanks again for your help. |
|
Gold Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 1341 Registered: Oct-05 | NO..I don't recommend it..121 is 30 degrees away from 91...U will have to realign all your LNB's I think..I don't know your LNB config.. |
|
3LNBs4now Unregistered guest | Okay. I will stay with the 3 I have got for now LK. Please continue helping newbies like me. I'm sure everyone decent here appreciate your helping mind. |

91W&97W Unregistered guest | LK, my friend has legit globecast for 97w. If he uses a Twin LNB, could he get both 91W and 97W from the same dish? Thanks. |
|
Gold Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 1358 Registered: Oct-05 | NO...different polarization on the LNB's 91W uses a circular LNB 97W uses a linear LNB |
|
Circular_Linear Unregistered guest | Thanks! It is not possible to combine the both on the same dish I guess. Appreciate your response as always ;) |
|
New member Username: ThillisbackPost Number: 2 Registered: Jan-06 | yes it is..or use universal LNB's |
|
BEV91&T597 Unregistered guest | Does that mean I can buy a Universal Twin LNB and replace it with the LNB I'm using now for 97w and point the LNBs for 91w and 97w to get both T5 and BEV? OR Leave the current LNB there for 97w and add another universal LNB for 91w? Thanks again for all your help LK. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThillisbackPost Number: 17 Registered: Jan-06 | NO just add a circular LNB for 91w Bev |

Thank_YOU_LK Unregistered guest | Thanks for all your responses on this subject LK !!! |

british k Unregistered guest | thill; can i use a DTV (single lnb dish) to hook 121 and how i configure for pansat 2500? thanks. |
|
Silver Member Username: ThehitchFla. Post Number: 297 Registered: Oct-05 | Hey british; I`m not thill, but I read many of his posts and in doing so have learned a little. The answer to UR ? is yes. Configuring it U will have to read 4 urself. I test vwst. & clst., all I know. Pansat set-up guides are everywhere, here included. I don`t have the links, U can go to any dss site and if they have a search feature use is. Good luck. |
|
British K Unregistered guest | thanks thehitch; i think the reason why i dont find 121 is because my lnb is circular for dtv and i need a linear lnb. maybe if i use a universal lnb can find 121 sat. |

Bronze Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 19 Registered: Jan-06 | The following example satellites (visable in N.America) are transmitting with a linear polarized signal: SBS 6 @74.0°W http://www.lyngsat.c o m/sbs6.html AMC 5 @79.0°W http://www.lyngsat.com/amc5.html AMC 9 @85.0°W http://www.lyngsat.com/amc9.html IA 6 @93.0°W http://www.lyngsat.com/ia6.html IA 5 @97.0°W http://www.lyngsat.com/ia5.html AMC 1 @103.0°W http://www.lyngsat.com/amc1.html AMC 2 at 105.0°W http://www.lyngsat.com/amc2.html EchoStar 9 @121.0°W http://www.lyngsat.com/echo9ia13.html NO...U cannot use a DTV LNB which is a circular polarity to receive the 121 bird..YES , U need a linear LNB, but U can use a Universal LNB also..and run it directly to your receiver since its only a single LNB on the dish unless U are going to keep the DTV lNB up there for the 110 or 119...then run them through a disques and configure your receiver correctly using the remote.. Receiver Configuration set up With the Receiver unplug 1. Connecting all the RCA cable from the TV to the receiver, and connect RG-6 Cable to the receiver, then Plug in power cord on the receiver. 2. You should see the Language Menu on the TV screen, select English. 3. "CAS SYSTEM" set up, just following the 3A, 3B and 3C steps 3A). Press menu, scroll down to select Parental Control then press OK. 3B). Scroll down to PIN #2, then enter you 4 digits password.0000 If you enter correct PW, it will take you into the CAS SYSTEM menu windown. 3C). In the CAS SYSTEM menu, scroll down to SET DEFAULT KEY, then press OK. Then exit to main menu page. In the future; if you have to edit the Dishnet key, just following the step #3 to get into the CAS SYSTEM menu, to edit the key go here Here is how to update key with a screen shoot 4. From the MAIN MENU: selecting INSTALLATION then Antenna setup Option. These are my dish set up and DiSeqC multi switch configuration; DiSeqC #1 SuperDish Echo9-IA 13 Dishnet 121 DiSeqC #2 Echo8.6/Ku 110W, DiSeqC #3 Echo7/Ku at 119W Satellite: ECHO 9(121) same as dish 105 Lnb type-Standard Lo freq-10750 22khz-OFF DiseqC- #1 Skew: O TP: leave it as is Positioner-Disable. Satellite: ECHO 6,8(110) Lnb type-Standard Lo freq-11250 22khz-OFF DiseqC-#2 Skew: O TP: leave it as is Positioner-Disable. Satellite: ECHO 7(119) Lnb type-Standard Lo freq-11250 22khz-OFF DiseqC-#3 Skew: O TP: leave it as is Positioner-Disable. 5. Check the signal and Quality level highest as you can (adjust the dish slightly to improve the signal strength). If you get no quality level on transponders, try others before giving up, because not all TPs are transmitting, if necessary Re-aim your dish IF still not getting any quality signal 6. Press the Exit button, press OK to save setting, the back to the Main Menu 7. Go back to the Installation Menu 8. Goto SATELLITE SCAN or BLIND SCAN, press OK, select the satellite to scan. You have to scan all the satellites have, once it complete, you should be able to watching TV |

BRITISH KNIGTH Unregistered guest | Thanks largo key; the switch used w/super dish works w/pansat2500? and skew must be "0" ? My pansat was working fine w/separate dtv dishes. but i replaced both 110 and 119 w/dish 500. to conect the others to 121 and 105. but when i connect the diseqc switch w/reciver on, and when i return to watch tv this only gets 110 on lnb 1 and on lnb2 for 119 never works again, i switched 1 for 2, and only watch 119, i disconect lnb 1 on switch and see 110 only connected to lnb 2, i make a lot of combinations and is the same only get the lnb 1, or the next one, i return the conection to my old dishes and they dont works too, and i turned off the back switch of receiver pansat 2500a no clone several times and nothing hapens. there is any chance that my diseqc switch is bad or maybe the box dont send changes to the switch? thanks again. |

Bronze Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 52 Registered: Jan-06 | Disque switches go bad...U have me somewhat confused..U haven't explained what your setup is.. For the 110- 119..run each cable from LNB's on Dish #1 directly to receiver from ,scan the satellite and this will ensure U are aligned correctly on BOTH.. Now , I think U have a 2nd dish with the 105 and 121, do the same as Dish #1 , run cables drectly to LNBsand scan the satellites...IF No 2nd dish and U have 4 LNB's on 1 dish..then just scan all the satellites...when U know all the LNB's are aligned/aimed correctly, then hook the cables into a 4x1 dique switch...now configure your receiver as I posted above (notice diff freq in the 121 and 105 LNB's)U have the 121,110,119 and the 105..now U should get all the 4 satellites on 1 receiver..input the dique #'s the same way as U plug the LNB's into the exterior disque switch.. now upload your latest bin, set the default keys, and watch TV.. |

BRITISH KNIGTH Unregistered guest | Thanks LK; I aimed correctly for 110 and 119 directly to the reciever, scaned each and watch tv. But when i connected diseqc switch only watch disqc # 1, if i connect anithing in diseqc #2,#3, #4, i watch no signal, if i switch cables to the diseqc switch always watch only #1 (110 or 119). with this happening icant aim correctly 121 and 105, when i think is correct scan and 119 appears. I apreciate your help. a Diseqc is way home. thanks |

Bronze Member Username: Rzoo4u2cPost Number: 68 Registered: Oct-05 | What size dish to use for sats with linear lnb, such as 97,105,121? |
|
Anonymous | free to air dishes which are 30 and larger...you can use smaller dishes but it is harder to get the signal, especially if you are using circular polarity lnb use for dishnet. you can use circular lnb but you will need to align it really well to get a decent signal...you can get reception with about 50% quality and have no problem with picture or sound unless there is a storm. when using linear for circular or vise versa, you sometimes lose either vertical or horizontal signals. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rzoo4u2cPost Number: 70 Registered: Oct-05 | I bought a invacom qph-031 lnbf it has two outputs circular and two outputs linear. My plan 80cm dish min. maybe 90cm, H-H motor and that lnb. hooked to Co*lsat. Diseq switch to existing dish lnb's and other (newdish) hooked up to diseq switch for other sats besides 110 and 119.i think that'll work...comments welcome. |

Silver Member Username: ThehitchFla. Post Number: 333 Registered: Oct-05 | Hey thill or NE-1 with help; I have vwst. plt., am trying to configure diseq swtch. I have dp aligned for 110&119, I added 2nd dish @ 91. I can`t seem to find the correct switch set-up, all I now can watch is 91. 110&119/port 1, 91/port 3. Tried switching around and various combinations of 22k on/off. I either get nothing or 91 only. Tried rebooting, nada. Is the DP built-in sw. interfereing with the diseq sw.? Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thank you. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 97 Registered: Jan-06 | So U have 110-1, 119-2, 91-3? |
|
Silver Member Username: ThehitchFla. Post Number: 335 Registered: Oct-05 | Hey thill; No I have a single cable coming from a DP 500, used for sub. It has both 110&119 combined from the Dish Pro hence only port one is used for both 110&119, that`s why I asked if DP switch was interfereing with diseqc sw. I think I tried all combinations and must surmise it won`t work, at least with-in my limited scope of understanding. I think I read somewhere using the two switch in tandem was akin to comparing apples and oranges. |

Silver Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 104 Registered: Jan-06 | IF U sub to DN,then that TWIN LNB (110-119...2LNB's in 1 unit with 2 outputs for 2 receivers but each cable/output has both 110 and 119) has a built in sw21 switches which don't work with FTA.. |
|
Silver Member Username: ThehitchFla. Post Number: 337 Registered: Oct-05 | Thanx LK; That would explain Y I couldn`t find any combination to work. I should have trusted my instincts, I thought I read can`t mix "apples and oranges", in re: switches, but I wasn`t sure of my recollection, so I tried. I learned something, not soon forgotten, thank you LK... |

Eye Unregistered guest | ok, I read the above info, but I have a question. I'm receiving echo6,8 but I don't know where 61.5 is located. I have a dual LNB pointing sw at 42 degrees and I'm getting Dn echo6,8 about 300 channels. Is 61.5W further west to Echo6,8? I would like to see the most since I have two dishes connected to a receiver. |
|
Silver Member Username: ThehitchFla. Post Number: 339 Registered: Oct-05 | Hey Eye; From where I AM, looking from the rear of dish, 61.5 would be 48.5 degrees to the left. 110.0-61.5=48.5 Iam in Florida, USA I think if you`re on the west coast it`s opposite? |
