Need Help getting 110 &119 on Bell 20" DIsh

[Alt2700]

Let me begin by saying that I'm using a Bell 20" dish that has the Y adapter with 2 dual LNB's. Now here's my problem, I've been trying for hours now to get both 110 & 119 on that one dish but have so far received nothing but frustration. I was successful in locating 119 and got 129. I set the skew angle on the dish according to the calculator from the receiver by checking off the dish 500 box.

I took out my SW21 and tried hooking up the LNB directly to the receiver.

I am wondering if I am using the correct LNB (on the right side of the Y adapter to locate the correct sattelite. I have read many posts and there is conflicting info. One says to have the 119 on the post labelled 91 and another says 82. Right now I need some poper advice before I pull out my last few hairs on my bald head!

Can someone tell me the orientation of the LNBs on the y adapter? ie looking from the front, 119 should be on the left or right?

There was a post telling you to go to this site to get the elevation and skew, but I do not know what to check off or enter.

Help please! :confused:

standing behind the dish ,looking where wthe dish looks

119 is on the left and 110 is on the right with the dish skewed (rotated)clock wise.

my dish has a slight elevation too, I used a sat finder to zero in on the sats.

skew will affect elevation.

so it you are looking at the dish the dish 110 is left 119 is right and dish is ccw.

it can be a challenge but after its easy

Thanks - got it!

It was just the LNB orientation that was giving me the problem. I put the 119 LNB in the 91 holder and the 110 LNB in the 82 - this worked out to be exatly the same as what you described above. Bingo - worked right away!

I used the dish 500 settings on the web page I posted and clicked calculate to get the az ele & skew.

Thanks for taking the time to help. :cool:

Glad to be of help, what are you testing and with what ?

I test with 301.13 singles, duals, 301.10 501, 508 2700 and fooling with a 311 ( yes I know )

atmega ,rom10 to 102, rom 101 rom 102 and a few avr-x for a friend ( so far all ok )

Well, I'm using all AVR-Xs with a couple of 3100.010s, a 310.013, 2700, and a 3900.

I'm getting set up to play with FTA. My plan is to take my now freed up dish and swap it out with a Star Choice with an LNBF.

I'd like to play with plastic, I just don't have the time.

The AVR-X has been working OK for me as well.

Yeah just be gentil on them, Plastic has been easier than I thought, never touched an fta.

got into this because the wife is Russian and its not available in the great white north, now its an adiction

That's great - I like to hear that people get programming they couldn't normally receive!

I have one of the new N2 cards which has been de subbed. Can I get it working? It has a nagra Id Ex-05.

[bobcat2001]

EX-05 is 99% likely to be a ROM102. (Programmable).

EX-04 ROM102, EX-07 =ROMS01(Not Programmable).

Just don't put it in the stream or it will update to rev242 which cannot be glitched yet.

I have the same problem as alt2700!!!!!!. I was out there fooling with the dish and troubleshooting until 1am this morning lol... I have a 20"bev dish also, dual LNB..not sure if I can pick up 110 from that size dish or not? If someone can lead me in the right direction, that would be fantastic. The only thing I am picking up right now is bev 91...blah
i have a sat finder to
going crazy!
