I first got a Toroidal 55 and was unable to get any linear SAT's so I called Emailed Wave Frontier and they said I needed the larger dish to get the linear SAT's. Said they need to be so many inches to hit any of the SAT's that require a linier LNB. So now I have the T90 and found 110 and 119 fairly easily, however I'm still not having any luck finding 97 or 123. I bought my LNB's off ebay from mx-mart they claim these can be used to recieve 97 and 123, however when I try to locate these SAT's I'm not finding anything. Wave frontier gave me the positions on the bar. I moved it up and down swivelled the LNB and still nothing. Do I need to use the Z20L that they reccomend to use? or is there something else I should be doing? |
Nix the "entering codes" talk here please.
As to your problem, I'm running a T90 also and I suspect that you are still having problems with the dish alignment. The DBS satellites are so powerful that they'll illuminate enought of the circular LNBs to get a signal even when you are off by a degree or two on elevation. The lower-powered linear birds aren't so forgiving.
I'm not running any special linear LNBs. Just standard run-of-the-mill Universal units I've had for years.
