Attention all Viewsat users pointing to 118.7W

Gold Member Username: KirankumarI will not b... Post Number: 2055 Registered: Oct-07 | this is what i found on another site,if you have a 24"or larger dish and the correct lnb you can get 118 7 on viewsat,maybe other receivers should be able to get it as well Thanks to the work of neneng, he has found a way for us to Not only receive but to view channels on 118.7 Apparently the Viewsat Coders decided to use EchoStar 9 to allow us to view 118.7 Channels. As per suggested I tried the following at it did work. For all members that are using the Special LNB for 118.7 - with a CB2008A LNB Setting up the Antenna Settings: Go to Menu, Installation, Antenna Setup Setup for Echo 9 -121W LNB Type: Standard LNB Freq: 10750 **** TP Freq: 11715 Now you will not see TP freq: 11715. In order for the Receiver to find all Available TP freq for 118.7, make certain you Auto TP is ON. Then do this: Preparing the TP Frequecies for Echo 9 -121W: Go to Menu Channel Scan Select EchoStar 9 Scroll down to Edit TP> OK Now scroll thru the window and delete all the TP Freqs by pressing the [F3] Delete TP button. Then, while in this window: Press F1 for Add User TP Enter: TP freQ: 11715...S/R: 20000...Pol: V...FEC: 7/8 Exit and then Save. Now go to Auto Scan: Auto Scanning all available TP Freqs and Channels from 118.7 (121W): Echo 9 should be selected, Scroll down and start Scan. You should now have over 123 Channels if your dish is 24" or larger. Please Note: No Sat ID lock will be displayed at the top right hand corner of the screen. The coders have not included this function yet. While TP freq 11715 is chosen you should have a Q signal of 20% or higher. This signal strength is strong enough to scan TPs and Channels and no pixelation should occur. The larger the dish of course the higher the Q signal value |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 8992 Registered: Jun-06 | ANY 30" AND LARGER Dish that can scan 119W will scan 118.7W comfortable. The viewsat instructions were designed to reduce confusion by creating a separate antenna setup for 118.7 in place of 129W and keep the 119W setup intact. In the 2-3 newer Universal LNBs, you can achieve duality of purpose in the single antenna setup bu scanning twice - once with the lower LNB freq of 118.7 and TP 11715 and then with the regular setup of 119W - (11250 and 12239) |

Post Number: 2056 Registered: Oct-07 | thanks guys, there was a lot of discussion here 2 months ago and while i was on another site i saw this and found it interesting,so i thought i would share it with you guys i have always believed that you need a 30" or larger dish like Nalin states with a circular lnb,i think it is a dual |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 9013 Registered: Jun-06 | USE a 30" or larger Dish. Use a special UNiversal LNB designed for 118.7/119 reception. LK - Have you gone so dumb that you can't understand these simple statements? |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 2572 Registered: Oct-06 | African I wrote in different posts that it can be done using 24" to 26" inch dish DTV Phase II is a about 24" inch Here is a link: https://www.ecoustics.com/cgi-bin/bbs/show.pl?tpc=2&post=1425653#POST1425653 There is no big deal I always like members here or else where to try and post their findings This is how we all share information I wanna add this I really think DN use super dish lately for everything To keep one stock item dish for all sats More like one size fits all For easier installation and easier upgrade To accommodate: 105, 110, 118, 119, 129 Just like DTV one dish for up to 5 sats If a subscribed member wants to upgrade to HD one day they just add one LNB and so forth |

Silver Member Username: MuchoPost Number: 107 Registered: Dec-07 | Why take a change on your dish size? A 31" Dish goes for ($40 to $45.00) A 36" Dish ($60 to $65.00) To be sure and a better installation for ($20.00) more why not go for the (36")  |
