I borrowed a BirdDog V3 and have readings on 110, 118.5 and 119. Will setup an old satellite on the weekend, to pick up 61.5.

No need to be rude. I was actually shooting in the breeze and asking for assistance.

Thanks man. I thought i was being ignored for a minute. Panned right,on the same elevation, and still nothing. I will lower the elevation and swing again - i ended up with 83 strength for 110 which isn't normal for a twin LNB setup. So I believe I also need to be lower? Thanks again.

Loconet what direction did you swing the dish from 110 to pickup 119? I covered the 110 eye, and panned left to find 119. I found a weak 110 on the 119 lnb instead. Panned right,on the same elevation, and still nothing.

HI. I covered the 110 eye, and panned left to find 119. I found a weak 110 the 119 lnb instead. Which direction from the 110 should I go to find 119?

Another note: the skew scale on the mount only goes up to 150. So I'm also shooting in the breeze to find 157-skew.

Ok. I got my DN mount, and mated it to my FTA dish. Where to go from here to register for 119 - skew or elevation? I'm picking up 110 on LNB 110. Picking up about 40db on 110 which is the norm for here.

Help anyone? Better yet can you tell me what direction I need to swing from 119° to pick up 110°? The FSU game is on 110 in an hour!!!!!

OK gurus. I'm getting a reading of 51 on the 119 eye. Where to from here: 1: Smaller DN dish Or 2: DN mount to allow for skew Or 3: Azimuth adjustment. As a side note: I live on the coast and would hate to bust up my nice plastic covering.

This is a neighbor's setup.

Doubt I will go that route again since I just shelled out for the DPP dual and wasnt planning on buying two more singles! 70-80% of the installations are running a Dual LNB on 500 or 1000 series ellipticals (including 3 neighbours within a 1000 yd radius). That said, 110 would be the first to...

Seems so. I did some more research, and I need to see which eye is picking up 119. When I do dish pointer 110 says "wrong satellite - incorrect satellite name" or something. With all the talk about reflection being opposite from what is in the sky, I'll come back to find out if I need to...

Unless someone can explain if it's possible to pickup 110 without skew with the dual LNB...

Hi All, Has anyone tried installing a DN mount to an existing 4ft dish to allow it to skew? I've been using an old 4ft FortecStar dish with DPP equipment with a deconstructed (plastic shroud removed) 119 LNB on a makeshift arm. The arm and LNB have died after about 6 years, and I've installed...

Point taken. With so many diferent brands, (microyal, digiwave) i'll close my eyes and hope for the best.

Yep. Thanks much fallaz. I just came accross the sw-44 on ebay, but they listed it as non-DN compatable, so that's why i ended up here. I'll google it, and try to find where I can cop it. Will let you know how things work out.

I plea the 5th. :angel:

Also the SW21 wouldn't work, as I forgot to mention that the LNB's are dual output each.

Sorry. I move my receiver throughout the house, so I need at a minimum 4 outs.

Hi Guys, Converting from FTA, and I am only locking onto Sat 110 with the 311 receiver. I am using a 4' dish, with a two Digiwave LNB's (110 & 119) and I have a Zinwell SAM 4x4 switch (supposedly DN approved). I was told that my problem is the compatibilty with the switche & LNB's and I...
