Scanning anik F3 [118.75]
|
New member Username: SatscannersPost Number: 2 Registered: Oct-07 | Just installed a special circular lnb .When scanning this sat with echo 7 on a cw600p should u scan boths sats sepperate with same switch setting or scan echo 7/Anik F3 as one sat , and change the frequency on the menu ? Heres the lnb specs: Description It's a brand new Ku Band Legacy Circular Standard Dual output LNBF with Dual polarization. This LNBF is high gain, low noise, weather-proof and resistance of shock. It works with all circular polarization ku band satellites. Great choice for Anik-F3 (at 118.8°W) , Echostar 3 (Dishnetwork 61.5°W), Echostar 6/8 (Dishnetwork 110°W), Echostar 7 (Dishnetwork 119°W), Echostar 1/2 (Dishnetwork 148°W), All DirecTV, All Bell ExpressVu (82°W, 91°W) and other Circular Polarity satellites. It works with all FTA and regular satellite receivers. With the Dual output feature, you can connect this LNB to 2 satellite DVB receivers and let them work independently! Features: Standard Dual Output LNBF Input Frequency Range from 11.70Ghz ~ 12.75Ghz Output Frequency Range from 950Mhz ~ 2000Mhz L.O.: 10.75GHz Low Phase Noise for Analog or Digital reception Exellent D.R.O. stability LOW Noise Figure: 0.3dB (newly improved) Neck size: 40mm, fits most satellite dishes Best solution for individual and multi-room / multi-satellite systems * This is the only one LNB works from 11.7GHz instead of 12.2GHz, that can get both 119W and 118W signals at the same time("1 Dish, 2 Satellites"). You can receive and watch more TV programs (International Channels) with this LNB. |

I wonder why they made this dual polarization LNB? I would think that, two birds, echo 7 LNB Local- Freq.=11,250 Circular Anik F3 LNB Local- Freq. = 10,750 Linear would be Two separate Scans switch settings one for circular two for linear |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1721 Registered: Oct-06 | 118.75 FSS is a Low Power Satellite uses circular polarity Must have a 30" dish as it is 100Watt Low power Unlike 20" dish that uses 200Watt High Power 118.75 Tp 1 to 29 freq 11.70GHz to 12.20 GHz Aprox Depending on Your LNB freq sweep and your Receiver freq preset yo can scan each seperatly or together LNB must be also Quad Polarity to get both Low/High Power European LNB is capabple to get 118.75 (As Universal) But unless it has quad polarity yo won't get both with same LNB |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1726 Registered: Oct-06 | I'm going to give yo another golden tip Blind scan is best way for this satellite If yo don't have this option Yo can always add a TP and enter its symbol rate along with its freq dial off lyngsat then scan the TP Remember won't work without Low Power Dish 30" |

Bronze Member Username: CoolgoosePost Number: 41 Registered: Jun-06 | Is 118.75 FSS same as AMC16 118.7 ? I have AMC16 118.7 listed in VS Xtreme but not 118.75 FSS. Are they both the same? If not how can I get it? Also can I get the international channels on this satellite using a normal circular LNB |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1743 Registered: Oct-06 | Did yo do blind scan or just scan? Whay don't yo just add one TP manually And see if yo can get it Get it from www-lynsat-com As an example: If yo add a TP# freq 11789 L s/r 20000 FEC 7/8 Yo'll get some 8 channels Or add a new Satellite and do blind scan if yo don't have it listed |

Bronze Member Username: CoolgoosePost Number: 43 Registered: Jun-06 | I did blind scan on AMC 16 118.7 but I was getting only channels on 119. I will add the TP you told me to it and will let u know the result. You help is much appreciated. If i need to add a new satellite how should I do it? |

Bronze Member Username: CoolgoosePost Number: 44 Registered: Jun-06 | Can I add the TP you mentioned to 119 satellite or will it only work on AMC 16 118.7 |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1748 Registered: Oct-06 | Yo can add TP to 119 Yo can always delete that TP |

Gold Member Username: Crazy_greekPost Number: 1274 Registered: Jul-06 |  Hey, goose You can't Use AMC 16 to scan in Anik F3, not the same TPs. You will need to add Anik F3 to you Receiver.You can leave AMC 16 there or deleted it. To add Anik F3 Antenna Setup A) Scroll to Edit TP/Satellite press (OK) B) Scroll to bottom you will see the word NEW press (OK) C) On this board high lite one character at a time and press (OK) when you finish entering these characters, if it looks like this Anik F3/Ku press (OK)should be at the bottom next to del. next you will see this. Down Frequency Symbol Rate Polarity Pull up.....http://www.ly ngsat.com/anikf3.html here you will find all the TPs for Anik F3. If you don't have a HD Receiver don't bother entering the TPs outline in green. I will post the first TP for you. Down Frequency....11715 Symbol Rate...20,000 Polarity V You can take it from here, all your |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1750 Registered: Oct-06 | Kavin If he says he is got AMC16 118.7 that means he has a newer version of VS than the unit u got Blind scan will update symbol rate and Forward Error Correction FEC Yo are asking him to do same work on a different sat name I think he is got a different problem cool goose I don't think your LNB can get that sat if yo did everything I told earlier |

Bronze Member Username: CoolgoosePost Number: 45 Registered: Jun-06 | I tried what both King and Kavin said but I dont get any channels on 118.75. It comes as Failed when I scan on an added TP. I have 121 and 119. It always picks up channels from either of these two satellites when I do a blind scan |

Gold Member Username: Crazy_greekPost Number: 1276 Registered: Jul-06 | Hey, goose Look here friend, there is NO AMC-16 Bird located @ 118.75W AMC-16 has moved back to 85.oW, here check it out http://www.lyng sat.com/america.html FTA Receivers are not only made for the good old USA,so just because a bird is listed in your receiver doesn't mean you can scan it in. Anik F3 is now located @ 118.75 If you want this Bird just follow my instructions as I have listed above. You will also need this NEW Circular LNB if you want to Scan Anik F3 see the first Thread above. |

Bronze Member Username: CoolgoosePost Number: 46 Registered: Jun-06 | Hey Kavin is it not possible to get this bird using a normal circular LNB? |
