EchoStar 5 129 W

[Hagi10]

What type of LNB needed to get the EchoStar 129 W, I have the Standard 11250 Freq., is that OK ?, or I need a different LNB ?

[Cougar830]

129 W is a circular LNB.

Thanks Cougar 830 for your quick response,so you mean circular 11250 freq. is OK ?

That is exactly what he means

An 18" dish would be good enough ?, or I need a bigger this to get 129 W

Hagi

If you are picking up 110 and 119 already then you are fine on the size of the dish.

Re aim and enjoy bro

I have the 33" dish my self for 110W and 119W, but I tried to set up a 18" dish today for a friend of mine and I could not get 129W on a 18" dish, what are your suggestions ?, get a bigger dish ?, or I'm missing anything ?, also what TP is the best to set up the Echo 5 129W ?

[renegade9999]

Well it all depends
You should be able to get 129 on an 18 inch dish.
What are you using as a reference to set azimuth and elevation?

For 129W Echo 5 - circular lnb standard - 11250 MHz is all that is required.

That is what I have, Standard LNB, with 11250 frq., but I just can not get the Sat signal in,but I don't have the TP # which is good to set it to

[renegade9999]

Ok so you are not aimed at the sat.

Use this link and put in all the info you can and it will tell you exactly what to set the dish at to grab the signal
