Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3181 Registered: Oct-06 | - Create a new Sat and rename it Anik F3 (118W) - Add New TP - Edit TP f= 11715 s/r= 20000 pol= V FEC=auto - Do antenna setup select TP= 11715 LNB freq= 10600 - Blind scan Basically this posts first TP Blind scan can update all new ones If yo have any problems just add one TP one at a time with TP scan |
|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 111 Registered: Feb-07 | King: Is 119.0W freq is OK for Anik F3? |
|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3182 Registered: Oct-06 | They are 2 seperate satellites They can be done on one sat if yo add required TP Better to be done as 2 I don't have Anik F3 but if I wanted to add it this is how I will do it Depending on yor receiver and settings Blind scan can seep both in one scan Delete what yo don't use |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11342 Registered: Jun-06 | Sidhu: You must get a LNB called CB2008A or a circular LNB that is specific for Anik 3 Do 118.7 scan first using LNB Freq 10750 or down to 9750 - follow instructions of your LNB manufacturer. The LNB type is to be set to either circular or Universal. In the TP list either you add all the TPs listed in Lyngsat under Anik 3 or just the first one which is 11715 V. Make sure th eport number is the same as that for 119W. Do a Blind Scan. The change the LNB freq to 11250, LNB type to Standard and first TP to 12224 or 1239. do a Blind Scan. You can separate the issues by creating a separate slate for 118.7 identical to the 119W slate except for the LNB freq, first TP etc described above. |

|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3171 Registered: Jan-08 | Sidhu If it not work you need to do a factory default and rescan all sats and load last bin write all sat setup before |
|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 122 Registered: Feb-07 | Plymouth: It shows 360.0W in front of Anik F3(360.0W) Is it OK or need some changes for motor setting? |

|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3183 Registered: Oct-06 | Nalin is Right I forgot to ask yo If yo don't have an LNB for 118/119 it won't work LNB called CB2008A or a circular LNB that is specific for Anik 3 Do it without SW42 Straight cable to receiver at first Make sure yo have that LNB first Then follow my instructions Then it will work |
|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3182 Registered: Jan-08 | King Sidhu buy a 30" dish it's easy to presumed he buy a CB2008A with it, he say 118.7 and 119 on his first post. If he created a new Sat with Anik F3 that will not work because receiver not recognized Dn encrypting, he must use Echostar 9 119.0 on VS Ultra. |
|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3186 Registered: Oct-06 | He didn't say anything about LNB And I bet yo he doesn't have correct LNB |
|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3183 Registered: Jan-08 | King Set sw42 do nothing if you dont have it. He dont need a 30" dish if he dont get 118,7 King please |
|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3185 Registered: Jan-08 | Sidhu Here is correct setup as i say for Echostar 119.0W SETUP INSTRUCTIONS Using a 30-inch or larger dish, aim with the following settings: * Satellite Name: 118°W (Anik F3) or 119°W (Echo7) * LNB Type: Standard (or Single) * LO Frequency: 10750 or 10600 MHz Finally, do an AUTO SCAN or a BLIND SCAN For some the following settings may work better or give you more channels: * LNB Type: Universal * LO Frequency: 9750 MHz * HI Frequency: 11250 MHz From this site: http://transatelectronics.com/store/118%C2%B0-circular-10750-dual-lnb_P272?gclid =CND62Pn6hZUCFQE0xgodnBiKcw I recommand to use * LNB Type: Universal * LO Frequency: 9750 MHz * HI Frequency: 11250 MHz and do a blind scan |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11348 Registered: Jun-06 | CB2008A This is the LNB for the new 118W (Anik F3 / 118.7W / 118.8W) satellite. With this special LNB, you can get BOTH 118 and 119 at the same time! Works with both Free-to-Air and Original DN Receivers! Requires: 30-inch or larger dish. 20' oval may work but is unreliable and YOU WILL MISS some channels. Compatible with DirecTV, Free-to-Air (DiSEqC, 22KHz), and legacy switches (SW21, SW44, etc) Not compatible with DishPro switches and/or DishPro (stacked) LNB's SPECS Polarization: Circular Input Frequency: 11.70 - 12.75 GHz LO Frequency: 10.750 GHz Noise: 0.5 dB Dual-output (ready for 1 or 2 receivers). Each output will give you both 118.7W and 119W. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS Using a 30-inch or larger dish, aim with the following settings: Satellite Name: 118A°W (Anik F3) or 119A°W (Echo7) LNB Type: Standard (or Single) LO Frequency: 10750 or 10600 MHz Finally, do an AUTO SCAN or a BLIND SCAN For some the following settings may work better or give you more channels: LNB Type: Universal LO Frequency: 9750 MHz HI Frequency: 11750 MHz ALTERNATIVE SETUP The lnb is good for 118.7, but may not receive all channels/transponders for 119 as the highest frequency of the LNB is 12.2 GHz. The normal 119 LNB goes up to 12.70 GHz. According to lyngsat (http://www.lyngsat*com/packages/dish119.html) the highest transponder frequency in use now is 12.516GHz. You may get around this by doing two scans. One with LNB frequency set at 10750 or even lower and then another scan with LNB frequency set at 11250. alternatively scan each one of the missing transponders of Echo 9 separately using LNB frequency 11250. WHERE TO BUY: You can try ebay , search for Superdish type1 to 500+ repoint kit -part 148328. This contain the LNBs to retrofit the Superdish. If you have a 33" dish (other than Superdish) you can get the CB2008A lnb which will get 118.7 and 119. CB2008A is available at ebay and many other online stores. this is one of the hottest items on the market, so please do not ask '" just Google for it and you will find it. MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS: CB2008A cannot directly replace the 119 LNB on the Superdish. Superdish lnb for 119 has a special bracket. If you are good mechanically ,you could probably figure a way to mount it on the Superdish; - it is not impossible. Iit requires a rectangular mount similar to those of DTV. The mount for Dish LNB have one side that is semicircular. If you have a Superdish the best bet it to get the Superdish type1 toDish 500+ repoint kit part#148328. |

Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 130 Registered: Feb-07 | I did blind scan with 11250 and got Indian Channel MH1 (which we get with 30" Dish) but unable to get the ETC Punjabi, Sony Max, Zcine etc. Someone told me that we can scan 2 sat with 30" Dish? Whats the other setting |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3190 Registered: Oct-06 | Hey bro Did yo read the part where yo need a special LNB for 118/119 (CB2008A)? Do yo have a liner LNB or what? Are yo correctly pointed dish to 119? Yo need to answer questions instead of making us guess what yo got I almost made a bet that yo don't have the right LNB If yo do have CB2008A and pointing to 119 then Start scanning at 10600 It will take few mintues longer that's all |

|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 132 Registered: Feb-07 | Lo Freq= 10.75Ghz input 11.75 ~ 12.70 are the details shown on the LNB. Is this OK? |
|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 133 Registered: Feb-07 | King: I think now you are satisfied after knowing the configuration of LNB, its circular LNB as mentioned by Nalin |
|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3193 Registered: Oct-06 | Lo Freq= 10.75Ghz input 11.75 ~ 12.70 This LNB will work I think I know what the problem is Enter the next TP manually Even if yo have to do one TP by one TP Try this: Add TP freq= 12002, s/r= 20000, Pol= H FEC=auto Do TP scan, not blind scan See if that improves anything Yo can also try other TPs like: freq= 11959, s/r= 20000, Pol= V FEC=auto freq= 12033, s/r= 20000, Pol= H FEC=auto freq= 12142, s/r= 20000, Pol= V FEC=auto ETC. |

|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3195 Registered: Oct-06 | As far as I know 118 will get yo all International channels offered by DN Very important if yo add another TP like 12002 freq= 12002, s/r= 20000, Pol= H FEC=auto If that doesn't work yo must do factory default like Plymouth say And manually enter TP 17175 once again Step and repeat one TP at a time All International channels will populate |
|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 136 Registered: Feb-07 | QUALITY for Echostar 119.0W is fine and working fine. I am able to get Z, Zcine, Max, Mh1, Star1, Starplus, HT News but unable to get Alpha Punjabi 0622, Sony, Aaj Tak, Sahara 1. Someone told me that with 30" Dish I can all these channels alongwith 119.0? Is it true? |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11352 Registered: Jun-06 | Sidhu: First answer this simple question: What LNB do you have pointing to 119W? You seem to be going in circles and you are not reading what has been posted to help you. |
|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 137 Registered: Feb-07 | You can see that I hv mentioned that quality for 119.0 is good, this mean LNB is pointing towards 119W? I am not going in circle but looking for help from you guys if you want to help me. |
|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3224 Registered: Jan-08 | Sidhu How is your Quality 60/100 or 80/100? Your LNB is a dishpro,a CB2008A or standard circular LNB? "do a factory default and rescan all sats and load last bin write all sat setup before" you do it or not? We want help you but we need these infos to help you! Give answer clearly on each question please? Many thing can do your problem,bad settings, bad dish aiming, and software. |
|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 138 Registered: Feb-07 | I will provide you all the information once I reach home. Till then Thankyou very much Plymouth...you are great!! |
|
New member Username: Need2no_2Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-08 | I have a question for u guys and ladies. Why do u need a special lnb (CB2008A) for 118? Why can't any circular lnb, like Invacom QPH-031 work? This LNB is both circular & Linear |
|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3230 Registered: Jan-08 | Joseph I have this LNB with 33"dish and motor. The problem with invacom LNB is, duplicated channels on 118.7 and 119, the LNB get some Tp on each other. But that work fine and you can get many Fta with it. CB2008A is not perfectly circular but ovaloid, thats why it can get 2 sat with 1 degree off. |
|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3200 Registered: Oct-06 | There is no such a thing called Circular or Linear LNB Specs for LNB is measuered by frequency and gain There is Circular polarity and Linear Polarity Each has their own unique frequency Usually KuHi is Circular 12.2 to 12.75GHz KuLo is Linear 11.7 to 12.2GHz Universal LNB can do both However I have seen Universal LNBs with wrong specs So not all brands can be trusted Yo can get 118 with KuLo LNB or Invacom Quad polarity |
|
New member Username: Need2no_2Post Number: 2 Registered: Feb-08 | Thanks Plymouth. I'll try my luck with 118 and the Invacom |
|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 139 Registered: Feb-07 | Plymouth: Qulaity is 60 to 80 and LNB Details are Lo Freq= 10.75Ghz input 11.75 ~ 12.70 (Thats what written on LNB) I did factory default and load new bin file and did blind scan. Still I missing with some Indian Channels.  |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11353 Registered: Jun-06 | Sidhu: Try and get this once for all into your head. YOU NEED A SPECIAL LNB CALLED CB2008A OR SIMILAR. So READ the markings on the LNB and post that info. Your settings are of secondary importance. I suggest to everybody else to stop posting here till he gives that info. |
|
Silver Member Username: Pu_da_mundaPost Number: 140 Registered: Feb-07 | Plymouth: I did it, now I can see all the channels. Thankyou much for your help and support. In future if i will have any problem i know that you are the right person to approach. Once again thanks |

|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3243 Registered: Jan-08 | Joseph I forgot to say that if you dont have a motor you cant get all channels, if you point on 119, you not get all channels on 118.7 and if you point on 118.7 you not get all channels on 119. Buy a motor for better result, you will not regret |
|
New member Username: Need2no_2Post Number: 3 Registered: Feb-08 | I have a motor and a 31' dish. I plan to try my luck this weekend. I'll post if I run into problems. Thanks again Plymouth |
