Hi everybody, maybe someone can help me figure this out. The radio DX'er in me has been peaked and I might as well get a fresh roll of the handyman's secret weapon out,
(duct tape), 'cause I think that I am going to need it.
I am trying to configure my directv dish to receive Muzak Radio from Echostar 7 @ 119.0 deg. W.
My receiver is the
Mercury II From Fortec Star.
When I was scanning the Echostar 7 (which I thought was Echostar 7) the receiver wouldn't list the transponders as "L" or "R". It was scanning for "V" + "H".
I haven't found any frequencies on the Directv satellite @ 101.0 deg, or the Echostar 7 @ 119.0 deg. yet.
Would it be better for me to strap the circular LNB to the to the universal LNB on the dish and install a
DiSEqC switch to the system?
I was just hooking it up temporarily to see if I can receive the Muzak stations, but if I can receive them, I will want to tune to them regularly.
I plan to buy the
Invacom QPH-031 when I have a few dollars laying around, but in the mean time I will probably just buy the DiSEqC switch to get the set up to work.
I was moving the
Dtv dish by hand to point it to the Echostar 7 with a temporary hookup to my receiver.
Thank you,
Bill
