LNB setting for DBS is 11250I just got an old DTV dish with a 3 headed LNB, the AU2-F1. I would like to try to use it for NASA TV. I tried with my Invacom Quad circular output on my existing 90cm dish and changed the LNB setting to 10600 but I couldn't find NASA with the Mercury II power scan.
the LNB on the far right (if you are standing behind the dish) is the only one that works for DBS. the middle one is screwy and the left one only has part of the transponders. I would skew it to 90 (so all LNB's are the sasme height). Makes it easier to aim dishThe 3 head lnb has 4 coax connectors on it. Can I use any one of them to try for NASA on 119? The dish has skew adjustment and it appears to be set about right for my area. It was previously used about 100 air miles west of my location. I plan to leave it where it is to start.
for NASA? Sure. They work fineIs this thing even going to work?
need at least a 30" dish for G10. KU Band is lower powered satellites than DBS so a 30" would pretty much be the minimum for stable receptionI hope to get more old 18" dishes some day and I was hoping to be able to point one at G10. Are they too small for that?
Be careful of some of these multi LNBs for DBS. They tend to have a built-in multiswitch which I think is only accessable from the DBS style receivers. Maybe I'm wrong?
Just a note.
yes
set the LO to 11250 and if you are aiming at 119, select a H transponder (the 1st 5 vertical TP's are spotbeams) and aim the dish at 119
I always wondered why the "dead" transponders on 119w More than once I've had a "D'oh!" moment because of them
Is there any legitimate use for circular other than NASA?
