Can I use a bell 20" with dual LNB to work as an ECHOSTAR for 110+119

[alucard dx]

I was looking at the Y bracket(for dual LNB's on dishnetwork) and the dish and brackets look the same from Bell. Assumming I had a dishnetwork reciever can I take my bell dish off 91 and 82 then reaim it 119 and 110 using bells dish and an echostar reciever.

One more question LOTR! I live in Edmonton. May I have the co-ordinates for 110 and 119 in my area. Will a 20" dish cut it or am I out of the footprint? Thanks so much for your help!

True Azimuth: 180.6

Elevation: 31.3

Skew Angle 89.7

Umm,

I am pretty sure that out in the prairie provinces like Edmonton that either 110 or 119 is unattainable due to the shrunken area of coverage that Dish did a few years back.

You would be better off usign a pair of 80cm dishes. One for 110 and one for 119.

When did Edmonton become a province?
kind of like on an episode of "Trailer Park Boys" (the gas station episode) when Ricky says "Provinces like Texas and Calgary dont have the BS taxes"

Ok I'm up and running! I managed to get 110 with a 30" dish. 119 is a complete loss. Would a larger dish help? Also what other sattlelites does Dish have that I can pick up in my area. You guys have been great and thank-you for you time!

umm...he was also asking in another post how a PanSat reciever works.
Should we be suspicious? (apologies if mistaken)

 

[alucard dx]

I'm very new to this and I mean no worries. It would have been nice if there was a detailed description of what dishes do what,IE: prices, where to buy etc. So give me a break. I asked about pansat because when I looked up Echostar it was being provided by pansat and echostar so I wanted to know the difference that is all.

You will need a Echostar brand system to subscribe to Dish Network. You will need to contact a broker or friend/family in the states to setup service.
