as far as i know the dish 1000 has the 119 LNB point to the echo7 and anik bird too. I dont think the DTV dish can do that.

Seeing is belieing, and without trying you won't see.
In a general way, I can say that the 118.7 signals are weaker than 119, but I don't see why a good 36" dish can't be used though it was designed for something else.
Make sure you buy a 118.7/119 specific Universal LNB.

The generic $20 Universal LNBs are working well with 30" ordinary dishes. The 36" dish will work too.

Dish 300
Single slot 18" round DBS dish that can pick up programming from one DBS satellite location at a time. DBS locations for Dish are 61.5°, 110°, 119°, 129°, 148° and (not used) 157°.

Dish 500
A two slot 18" x 20" DBS dish designed to pick up 110° and 119° simultaneously. However it can be used to pick up 119° and 129° or just one satellite location like 61.5° or 148°.

Dish 1000
A three slot DBS dish designed to pick up 110°, 119° and 129° simultaneously. This dish can be used to pick up 129° and 148° simultaneously.

Dish 1000.2
Slightly larger than a Dish 1000, its integrated head unit has 3 LNBs (110°, 119° and 129°), an input for a 4th LNB, and DP Plus switching to 3 receiver outputs.

Plus Dish 500+/1000+
Same as the Dish 1000 in function but about 5" larger and can pick up the 118.75° FSS location. As a 500+ it picks up 110°, 118.75° and 119°. Adding an LNB for 129° makes it a 1000+.

SuperDISH
105: Specifically designed to pick up 105°, 110° and 119°
121: Specifically designed to pick up 110°, 119° and 121°

Useless information. The client wants to know if the 36" dish will work if he anted to use a Universal LNB designed for 118/119W and I am saying there is no reason why it should not.

there is repoint kit for converting superdish to 500+ or 1000+, 500+ gives you 110/118/119 and 1000+ will add 148 to it.

I don't believed the regular 1000 will do the job.

That dish and that LNB
Should be able to pickup 118.7
Polarity of that LNB is the tricky part
But should work

It also depends on what receiver yo got
And setting correct LNB Voltage and freq
I would love to get my hands on that dish and LNB

That's a great 36" dish
Just change the LNB to get 118.7 if it doesn't pickup Sat

If yo didn't buy it yet
Buy a super dish much less headache

Very few dish 500 plus available to buy now days
Many people get confused with dish 500 with dishpro plus LNB
And for some reason super dish is very cheap now

I also noticed DN new installations uses super dish only
They still call it dish 500 plus for 110/118/119
And dish 1000 plus for 110/118/119/129
For both cases they install super dish for all new subscribers

Justice you say that you can scan both 119 and 118.7/118.8 (Anik F3) at the same time. How
can that be? Don't you need to scan one at a time? When I scan Echo 3 @ 61.5 or Rainbow 1 @ 61.5 both at the same orbit,then why do I have to scan each separately?

My receiver don't even list Anik F3.I need to enter this birds and the TPs.

Pull up.....http://www.lyngsat.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

61.5 Rainbow and 61.5 Echo-3
Identical TPs
Slight freq difference
This is where N2 and N3 lingures
Name don't matter
Yo can call it Yukon if yo want
It's all about freq and Tps now

118.7 and 119 to provide continues freq span
Even if they are coming from 3 different sats
It's all about freq and Tps now

Max Edout : The best thing that can happen to you is LK refusing to help. Then we can get along with real work. You look at what Charlie is suggesting. It will probably be a special kit about $110 to switch from 121 to 118.7
Or you can get the special LNB designed for getting 118.7 and 119. Just Google 118/119 and you will get two or three varieties.
Mad Flea here and African will both be able to help you

thanks guys.

do i really need a special circular lnb to get 118.7, when 110 and 119 are circular?

correct me if i'm wrong, but on lyngsat under the first column labeled as "Freq. Tp" "R" = right-hand and "L" = left-hand mean they are circular polarizations. and "V" = vertical and "H" = horizontal mean they are linear polarizations. thanks.

linear is vertical and horizontal
circular is left and right

This LNB is oval on is width and standard is round,
that why it can catch 0.25 degree.

Max: There are people who have received 118.7 signals with both Linear and circular LNBs. You get a 4 DB drop., and might miss several channels.
The main point is that all of internationals on 121 are moving to 118.7. There is a possibility of 61.5W and 148W internationals being phased out. - No confirmations of this.
You might as well do a good job and use a special Universal LNB designed specifically for the 118/119. The LNB is about $18 to $25. With a bit of effort you will get going nicely.
Alternatively you can get the full 121 to 118.7 conversion kit for about $110 directly from DN. Either way you will be a winner.

Note this item:
CIRCULAR DUAL LNB
LNBF CB2008A FTA 118.7
DISH 119 118.8

It's designed especially for catching 119 & 118.7 (Anik F3) at the same time using one such LNB.
Each Output gives signal from both satellites
