I am adding a second lnb. My current one is pointed at 119. To get 110 which side do i put the new lnb on, and is it below of above 119? I Saw great pictures in the past, but all English archives are now deleted. If the new Pansat bin comes out, I will be ready. If not, this will be set for my new VS purchase.

If you are facing your dish from the front, 110 will be on your right and 119 will be on your left with a separation of about 5 in (you might want to buy an lnb holder). For skew, you will rotate the dish slightly clockwise.

Also, an elliptical dish is better than a round dish for capturing the two sats.

Yes, that could be if you're not using an elliptical. Anyways, the lnb holder and its spacing should be designed for the type of dish it fits. So, it'll work.

You need also to consider your location and size of dish.

There are available bracket for two LNB design for 119 and 110, for certain size of dish. but not gauranteed to work in any location.

In the end it is a trial and error installation.

If you can get 110 then 119 should not be a problem. It's just a matter of lnb positioning and dish alignment. Also, you shouldn't need a large dish, unless you are far from the US border. But, like i said, if you have 110 and strenght/quality are good then 119 should also work.

I give you a tip... find 119... 110 is a little lower.... that is if you are living in the same area as Mario.
