Dish 500 for 118.7
|
New member Username: RitzoklahomaPost Number: 1 Registered: Oct-08 | hi, new person to the forum here... I have read some posts about using Dish 500 for 118.7 to get international channels. Many of you have posted like Nalin, Plymouth, King Tapeman and Cartier. 1. I understand I need to use a Circular Dual LNB for both 119 and 118.7. (like here. http://www.mxmart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=126 ) Correct? Please advise of any success someone has had with a different make/model? 2. I am at near zipcode 74501. Can someone tell me will I get 118 on my Dish 500 dish?? 3. Can someone advise of anything else I will need. I have a DISH 311 Satellite Receiver. 3. Or will it be easier to get a repoint kit? If so, please advise of a model and make, please. thank you for your help... R |

New member Username: RitzoklahomaPost Number: 4 Registered: Oct-08 | Sorry, Mr. Plymouth, I think I maybe was clear.. I have a Dish 500. The link you provided for the LNB states: Requires: 30-inch or larger dish |

New member Username: RitzoklahomaPost Number: 5 Registered: Oct-08 | Also... the reason I asked how the Captiveworks 700S or a Viewsat Ultra work.. is so I know what I am getting into before I go out and do some buying... I think most people wouldn't go out and buy a Mercedes or a Lamborghini without knowing how much maintenance it required. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 4628 Registered: Jan-08 | Ricky Sorry i'm come back. For get 118.7 you needed a dish 30" and + , but if you live in West coast, it can work with your dish 500 on few Tp. I prefer Viewsat Ultra because more reliable on Free To Air. I you want know where take files, you can found it without login on many sites like For Viewsat ftahq.com dsstester .com dish-keys.blogspot .com thetotalfta.com For Captiveworks dsstester .com dish-keys.blogspot .com Those 2 receiver brand give the best support and stay up where many are down. |

New member Username: RitzoklahomaPost Number: 7 Registered: Oct-08 | hi, Thanks for all the responses. Sorry.. I am just looking for a simple solution to hopefully use my Dish 500 with my 311 receiver.. and I hope to just change the LNB to get 118.7W or another cost effective solution. Sorry guys, times are a bit tough at the moment. Can someone please advise if that is possible? or suggest another solution which is the most cost effective? |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 12277 Registered: Jun-06 | A lot of people come looking for a cheap solution using their "500 Dish". You NEED a 500+ Dish which is about 5" wider. If you use a generic 33" Dish and a non-DN 118/119 LNB, the combination (good for two receivers) is only $60 or $70 if you get a dual 110 LNB as well. Two weather proof DisEqC switches will cost you $13. This LNB is not compatible with DP34 or DP44 switches. http://transatelectronics.com/ Similar solution is available using Digiwave products |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 4698 Registered: Jan-08 | A newbie don't give it as answer. ""Great sales pitch Nalin... your are not only a client but also the CEO of Transat?"" For your info Nalin give you a suggest. Your site is a IP trap or not?  |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 4700 Registered: Jan-08 | Ricky It is difficult to understand, what exactly you want. You want use your dish 500 and your Dishnet 311 receiver, and we give you a answer that you can't. A receiver and a new dish and LNB cost only 200$ |
