Can't find Ciel 2 at 129

[Leob1952]

I'm trying to get echostar 19 and Ciel 2 I was able to find the 119 sat but can't find the 129 I'm using a 36 inch illiptical dish with a sliding rail for the lnbs.

Thanks in advance

Your location?
I will just state that even though the manufacturer claims around 50 degrees aperture meaning that if you are within the intended E.I.R.P. of the orbital locations you are searching your best bet (in my opinion is to aim in the middle of the orbital slots, if I understood well you are trying 95°W and 129°W the middle would be around 110°W (exactly 112°W), therefore I would aim the center LNBF to 110°W and then tilt depending on your location.

As you can see in the image I'm inserting; LNBF 2, 3, 4 will use more surface of the Elliptical antenna so LNBF 1 and 5 will use smaller areas, you won't notice this if you are within the E.I.R.P. if in fringe or out of the CONUS the thing is different....

I'm in the Port Huron Michigan area so would I find the 110 first then tilt to find 119 and then slide the 129 lnb until I find it's signal?

This is the dish I'm using

Why not simply use a 1000.2 dish with a western arc LNB.

Yep, use the LNBF holder of the center to aim to 110°W, then you have to work 119°W then 129°W and finally the 95°W if this is what your original goal was....

Bobby if I understood well he wants to get EXIX:

Guess he is going to get broadband? I really don't know, but if he really just wants the Western Arc the best option would be the 1000.2 as you suggest:

Thanks I'll try that

Thanks I'll try that

Please clarify the orbital slots you are targeting, there might be a confusion.....if you only want 3 satellites (110°W, 119° & 129°W) then I would strongly suggest as Bobby did to use a Original Dish antena for that configuration 1000.2 it's cheaper and easier, but if you want more than those....then the scenario is different.

Well, if he has that dish/lnbf already he can use it, just peak 119 on the center holder and 110/129 on the sides, as long as the skew is correct it should be easy enough

Agreed but there's a lot of if's here we don't know what kind of LNBF he's using, the bracket might be a bit complicated for a triple lnbf.....I just thought it's a lot of work, just thinking, why someone would by that particular antenna to adapt a LNBF designed for a Dishnetwork antenna, muy guess is that Digiwave antenna is for a user trying to get several FTA....

You can use dish pointer.com or download the app; I placed your location (Port Huron, Michigan) and selected a triple LNBF 1000.2 and it gave me the following:
