Which LNB is for which satellite?

[H2Guy]

looking at this picture which LNB is for which Satellite, this should be easy for you Dish pros?
Thx

Looking from that direction 1 is pointed toward 128, 2 is pointed at 119 and 3 is pointed at 110.

 

[Bobby]

And 128 is no longer in service.

You have it backwards, 1 is 110, 3 would be 128.

 

[H2Guy]

Thank you gentlemen, just what I needed to know

 

[n0qcu]

NONE would be 128 since there was never a 128 it was 129

Yep, out of sight, out of mind.

Actually as he has it labelled, 3 would have been the 129 and 1 the 110

I believe this to be accurate. In theory since the separation in degrees of each lnbf, would work for other satellites spaced by the same amount.

Edit:
And why peaking signal for the center lnbf and then tweaking the skew angle would help get max. signal for the outer ones.

You would think with 129 being retired and offline, Dish would start issuing a newer version of the "old" WA LNB they once used specifically for 110 & 119. They'd save millions....

They were planning on going back to the old dish, but haven't heard anything. They probably put it on hold with all the money issues.

They wouldn't necessarily save money because for dpp they'd still need to remanufacture a few hundred thousand units and manufacture brand new hybrid models, plus new dish 500 parts. As of now there's still so many of the old lnbs that they aren't losing money on. Switching to old style will lose money not save money, atleast at the beginning.

When 129 shut down the only mod I made to my WA DPP was to put a piece of aluminum tape over that "eye" to minimize aiming mistakes when setting up the dish at a new location. Didn't cost Dish a dime...

As a DiSH dealer I hated 129 for the tough look angle, plus it wasn't a good solid signal. We were already at a disadvantage to DTV in having to look farther west to 119.

Hopper3 does not work with older two "eye" DPP WA lnbs. H3 requires a hybrid lnb or an additional switch with DPP equipment because of the stacking of 16 tuners while the DPP lnb could handle only 3 tuners.

Hence my original suggestion of redesigning and implementing a new WA LNB for 110 and 119 that's compatible with all current receivers.

They have. It's now being fielded. The WA DPH 500 TWIN LNBF

• The DISH Pro Hybrid (DPH) 500 WA LNBF is designed to point at the western arc satellites
  • DPH LNBFs and switches support band stacking (2 tuners) or FSK channel stacking (16 tuners)
• Outputs
  • 2
• Inputs
  • 1
• Switches
  • LNBF has an Internal switch
    • Turns off when connected to a compatible external switch
    • Note: The DPH 500 WA LNBF is the only Hybrid LNBF compatible with a switch
• Max Receiver's
  • 2 ViP Single tuners
  • 2 ViP Dual tuners
  • 2 Hopper 2000's or Hopper With Slings
  • 1 Hopper 3
    • Port 2 turns off when connected to a Hopper 3
  • 8 Wallys in dual tuner mode with DPZ Channel Stack Splitters
    • Port 2 turns off when connected to a Wally
    • DPH Power inserter required
  • 16 Wallys in single tuner mode with DPZ Channel Stack Splitters
    • Port 2 turns off when connected to a Wally
    • DPH Power inserter required

So, how would two Hopper 3s connect to this here new LNBF?

 

[n0qcu]

So, how would two Hopper 3s connect to this here new LNBF?

Same as currently with the DPH 42 switch

 

[charlesrshell]

OK, tkz. That's good news. I had thought the DPH42 switch wouldn't work with LNBFs.

They don't, that's why they're not on the list. They have to use the same way they have wit ha DPP LNB and a 42 Switch
