Ok im going to buy a Nfusion receiver tomorrow but i have currently 61.5 and 119 signals. I want to get 118.7, so what else do i need to buy to get 118.7? Do i need some special LNB ? I have the normal sized dish, i believe 18 inch? DO i have to replace it?

ok I have a question also..I have dish500 with yoke adapter. I am trying to switch 119 lnb with118/119 lnb. Problem is that new lnb doesn't fit in yoke lnb holder. I put it somehow and getting channels on 119 but not able to pick interenation channel on 118( I have tried all frequency setting). So my question is:
Can I use dish500 to get 118/119 and 110. If yeah, what are suggestion on lnb holder.
If I should think about replacing my dish, is dish1000- a good replacement.I am trying to get both international and local channels..and I don't want to keep spending money in dish replacement again and again.

Shawn: For 118.7W (amik 3) you NEED 500 plus or 1000 plus. Dish 500 or 1000 will not do.

Also transelectronic have a 24" dish specially designed for 118.7 - It is on their main page. I don't know if it works. In any case, you nust get a special LNB otherwise it will not work to the fullest extent.

Thanks nalin, I have someone coming over to install a 500 plus dish. I called this installer and he said the same thing as you did. Hopefully this is the last time I would be spending on changing dish. I told him to go ahead and put all 4 (119-118-110-129hd) lnbs so that I don't have to call him again..lol..thanks for the help..

I think you have unknowingly ordered a 1000 plus installation.
"As a 500+ it picks up 110W, 118.75W and 119W. Adding an LNB for 129W makes it a 1000+. "
