Can I get Galaxy 18 (123W), 16 (99W), 3C (95W), 17 (91W) on one dish in a fixed position with an adjustable LNB mounting bar? Or is the 123w Bird too far away to get from the others?

Thanks.

You had not list where you live.

I have 2 dishes with motor, a 33" and a 18" and I get over 25 satellites.

You can get all these satellites and much more with a motorized system.

You can't use a multi bracket as for a Circular dish which is need a 18" dish, you can buy a Invacom Universal Circular/Linear LNB and get both signal, but the aiming for this antenna is very difficult and need to be made by a person experienced.

Ok, thanks. I have a motorized system, but would rather have a fixed dish to feed multiple sets from one dish through switches and multiple LNB's. I use Invacoms.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but....when i see 95w I get curious, does your receiver open the rtn channels at 95w.

Looking to buy ariza 700 for those channels, just want to make sure they work before spending 300.00 for ten of them.

C801 00 E134079992603E3B ;RTN (95.0W) (NAG 1)

provider ID is either C801 or C901

You can't get satellite with less of 9 degree because you will not able to positionned LNB side to side.

Yo can get 4 degrees apart with a 90CM dish very easy

91 with any sat on a 30" dish is no problem
But using a 90 CM dish is the way to go
75CM=30"
90CM=36"
1M=40"

Look into this multi LNB Bracket
Available on e-bay by MX-Mart
Upload

Also SatelliteAV in California sell special LNBs and brackets

Let me tell yo
This is a very challenging installation
But very doable on a 90CM to an expert installer
If yo were to try it
start with 2 LNBs then add one LNB at a time

Just for curiosity
What are yo getting on 99W?
I'm guessing CCTV on 95W is what yor looking for
What state do yo live in?

Thank King for the info on Mini LNB.

It can work in regard with the position where you live.

What you do with 93W and 95W?

You can use 2 dishes with standard LNB with enough space you only take one satellite on two.

The best way is motorized dish always on good azimut.

That's the bracket I bought, except it holds 6 separate LNBs.

Jake you can't get all satellites you listed,"""Galaxy 18 (123W), 16 (99W), 3C (95W), 17 (91W)"""

OK for 99, 95 and 91 but too far for get all Tp on 123W(possible if you live in Californy).
The problem is when you move away from the dish center,you lose the focus point and lose much signal.

Jake
Plymouth and I asked yo where yo live?
The bracket yo bought and what I posted are 2 different things
I'm very familiar with the one that holds 6 LNBs
It's not the same

I need to know what are yo trying to get with 99W and what state do yo live in?
If yo still want my advice

King for sure you not get all 123w TPs with a 20".

6 LNBs on circular dish work fine if you are in center but with Linear??????

King is right, tell us where you live.

I am successful in importing channel file into Channel Master saved originally on USB from SV8kHD.

Now that I have 118.8 bird strange thing is that all the PIDs etc for international channels are showing correct in that file in the channel master. For example GEONW SID 902, TP=11806 all PIDs are correctly showing as 4642 and 4643 for that bird. So whats the use of creating / adding a dummy channel with these PIDs when the PIDs are already correct in the original channel althugh they are scrambled.

Donno what to do. Guidance is appreciated. Please note that I am not pointing at 61.5. I am pointing at 118.8.
Thanks

Hi! MKM

No signal on all satellites for me tonight because a ?&*# snow fall.

I can get all local channels with my new antenna on roof.

Nothing new with Indian channels only many rumor.

As I said for your dish found a installer who can help you, from here it's very difficult for me to help you, I don't know what try new.

Those channels are also available on 118.8 however with different VIDs and PIDS. All the international channels and even more are also available on 118.8

It seems on 61.5 you are asking people to manually input the PIDs and creat dummy channels for them...however why it cant be done to 118.8 channels...because when i open the file in the channel master their PIDs are already correct.

The pid numbers have nothing to do with the encryption, The PID is a adress on compressing signal from a transponder for be able to put many channels video audio and data in same signal.

Why the dummy channels work with manualy entering on 61.5W and not with a scan, because the data info on channel is not there and the scan can't found this channels, it is ghost channels.
Many channel not encrypted are on Feed channels for Local TV from the national provider like FOX.

Your channels are scramble because gone on N3.
