Bought one a few weeks ago also for $20, nothing like my coolsats for FTA no blind search, found it a little easier to use after putting factory files on it but still was sad and slow (my opinion) even for $20 i wish i had of left it where it was.
You'll still have to rig something up, where your 30" dish don't skew, so you'll have to attach that bracket on a angle to dish arm some how, also you need to buy proper bracket for right dish ie: bracket for 24" won't be any good for a 1.2 meter because of spacing mentioned above. But if you...
A bit different spacing for lnbs on a 24" and 30" ,24" lnbs and sats being closer while the 30" they will be a little wider apart.
could you take off one of them plastic sockets (lnb holder) on the above holder and screw it to the top hole on your stair bracket to see if it close.
Sorry i can't recommend one maybe someone else will, i make my own with wood/metal/tie straps/tape/etc, to me the one you have above the highest bracket (lnb spot) needs to be a little higher and just a little out more ( I'm assuming that the 2 closest are 82 and 91) maybe you can fab something...
101(sat B 22khz on) should be on the left side and 97 (sat A 22khz off) right side when behind dish,
if you wanted 97 & 93 then 97 would be (sat B 22khz on) the left side and 93 (sat A 22khz off) right lnb.
some skews and elevation settings i found to work or get me very close with starchoice...
If your dish skews the lnbs will be inline, if no skew on dish the lnb's will be in a staircase like the above bracket. Also if you align 101 and then align your circular sats it may be easier to find them.
Some of the combination's i've got with it (75E) here in Nfld in CBS
107 - 111
101 - 97
97 - 93
and for sat b 22khz on no sat A
87,89,93.1,99,105,113,123,125
never did much looking under 87W yet with the starchoice dish
Don't know anything about them but seen a advertisement on galaxy 19 selling them new for 69.99 in a language i didn't understand if that helps any with price on E-bay
I found on my 1.2m i could get 111W linear to 82W circular, and i could get 1 degree spacing for 111W linear and 110 circular by strapping (tie straps and tape):) lnbs together side by side, and pointing in a little, found that after i had 4 on there i had to put support under the arm, from the...
Seen similar dishes here in Newfoundland to dish 500 with starchoice on them being used for it only had one lnb on them thow. Still in use, and never here's him complaining, so can't be to bad. the footprints I've seen seem to say a 1.2 meter should pull in some C band as well. if you live in...
Had a similar problem with mine and resetting back to factory resolved my problem, i also thought it was remote or sensor, as it was working one sec and next nothing, then would work a minute and so on. maybe worth a try.
Some of the sats we can get here in Newfoundland with a starchoice 75E dish
87W AMC 3
89W Galaxy 28

Ya, Blind scan would be nice, but it works just a bit more foolin around with the remote and for 25 the price was right, just would of been nice if the adds i read from fta dealers were correct or my research a bit better, oh well, got a 8100 hd pvr few weeks back for $80 with a 120 gig external...
Bought a Nfusion Nova for $25 thinking it had Blind scan, seen adds saying that it has Blind Scan but can only find TP scan, anyone know if this receiver has blind scan/power scan, bought it thinking it had, but can't seem to find it.
Thanks
If after reading Iceberg's thread and you still want to get 119, you can get a lnb that does 119 and 118.8 on the same lnb, I looked for it on above sponsor sites but couldn't find one, maybe someone else might find it if you still want it after the read above.
link to what I'm talking about in...
Use lnb b with 22khz on you'll get the most gain from the starchoice dish and not lnb a when aligning. i tried for 6 months to hit it on starchoice 75E and 1.2m no luck, also found 1.2m picks up a lot more tp's and don't lose signal as much when raining or snowing also the list and stuff posted...
The sat maps (biggest dish mentioned) I've seen say that i need a 2.4 meter to hit it i'am in cbs not to far from you, AMC 1 was trying also in Corner Brook but nothing last time we texted on a 90cm, map i seen for him said 1.2m not sure if he tried that after, been a while since i talked to him...
