118 sat slot now showing up????????

[gatekeeper]

I have still been having trouble with the 129 satellite like alot of people.I went to the point dish screen on my vip211 receiver and was scrolling threw the different satellite #61.5 105,110 {118} 119,121,129,148.I saw a 118 satellite number however. ANYONE KNOW WHAT DISH IS PLANNING TO DO WITH THAT?:I have never seen the 118 slot before.Maybe they are planning to do something in conjunction with the 129 satellite.Lets hope so anyway.

from what I hear, it will be either be explained at Summit next month or maybe on the retailer chat next week

According to Lyngsat, AMC16 is at 103.5 as of 5/10/06. at the rate it's moving (.85 deg west per day) it will take about 20 days to get to 118

I explained it all over a month ago in the pub area.

To receive 118.7 you will need a new Dish 500+ or a Dish 1000+

The dishes almost look like the current Dish 500 and Dish 1000 however the dish is slightly larger (around an inch bigger for the Dish 500+) and in addition it will sport a new LNB which can pick up the linear signal from 118.7 and circular from 119.

I am working on getting photos of the new Dishes and possibly even one of the new Dish's and LNB assemblys before team summit.

What type of programming is going on the 118.75 ?

I wonder if the existing superdish 105 is big enough to swap out the 119 LNBF with the new one. If somebody can get me a test sample I'll be glad to review it.

Perhaps Invacom's LNBF ?
