Does anyone what type of c-band equipment is needed to receive sat 119 in northern sk Canada? Could anyone reply to this post and let me know what type of equipment they are using and how they had to set it up( setting on the dish etc)?
Thanks Frz :cool:

All you should need to do is replace your c-band feedhorn with a dish LNB and get a dish reciever.. The 119 sat should be in the same arc as the c band sats so it's a matter of moving your dish to the coordinatoes for the 119 sat.

hi
Can I use a c/ku feedhorn and ku lnb or will that not work and if doesn't work how would I mount the dish lnb out there properly? I have a 10ft cband dish how/which would be the proper way to mount the dish lnb because I have that and the bell 310reg10 receiver. How far or what distance for focal distance would I need to install my dish lnb on my 10ft c-band dish? If anyone has pictures or can give me a indepth instructions on how to set my c-band dish to receive sat 119?
Thanks Frz :cool:

No, you can not use the c/ku feedhorn. However, they do make a C/KU/DBS feedhorn that comes with a dual DBS lnb, a little pricey though. They also make a DBS adapter by itself - see skyvision dot com or search web. I had an old Cband feedhorn that has an adjustable scalar ring. I removed the center part and wired a DBS lnb there and it works fine. I use it here in AZ to try to get the lost BEV TPs.

Hi DAVE411
Thanks for replying. So, you just took the middle piece of the c=band feed horn out and then just put in a normal dishnet dual lnb and wired it in? I am would like to know what you me by wiring it in? How did you mount the lnb on/in the empty c-band feedhorn? Do you have any pics of the setup that you could email me or pm that would be really really great because I ve struggling with this for a month now. Sorry to be a pest or bother some but I am not making any head way. What angle or position do you place the dish lnb in? I can email you or pm you if want let me know?
Thanks FRZ :)

Yes, the scalar ring is still mounted to the dish via the 4 support arms and I just "laid" the DBS lnb on the scalar ring with the lnb pointing in to the center. I virtually then "bailing wired" it to hold it in place. It`s getting a bit dark now, but I will run out and take a pic. Don`t know how to attach a pic here, so if you want, PM me with your email and I will send it there if pic turns out OK.
