I know there are a lot of these threads on here but I cant find one that answers my question, so here it is. I have everything hooked up and it is working, I have a 3LMB DTV phase III antenna, I was having problems with it at first but now it is working, well when it wasnt working I got channels but they where scrambled. and I got USA, among other channels but not that it is all working I cant get that channel among many others. if there is any other info that is needed let me know. thank you ??????????????????????

The trouble is what you have in effect is one dish aimed at probably 110W.
The Phase III dish is only good for one satellite, even though it has 3 LNBs.
2 LNBs on that dish are oddballs, frequency wise.

Get another 18" dish and aim it at 119W to get the USA channel, etc., etc.
Just remember to see the 119W signal you have to change the TP to 12239.
When you find a satellite that gives you signal on TP 12239 and no signal on TP 12224, chances are you found the 119W satellite. 119W is just a little lower in elevation and just a little west of 110W. (9 degrees West of 110W)

Since you are responding quickly, is the Phase III skewed ??
Meaning, is it leaning slightly, or is it level in appearance ??

[armyguy832004]

as far as the channels they are coming in clear and no problems. WOODCREEKER: it is skewed a bit about 5 degrees counter-clockwise, and would it be better if I use my old single LMB antenna which is also DTV.

can i use this dish

[justinace77]

your thread sorry

[armyguy832004]

ok I'm lost with the sorry to jus[ on your thread part, and the can I use this dish part.....

[armyguy832004]

will a single LMB DTV dish work better then the 3 LMB phase III DTV dish

[woodcreeker]

What you need to do is point the other 18" dish to 119W.

Then connect them together with a DiSEqC switch.

Once you setup and point the extra dish you have to 119W, then I can provide some more help here. Once you localize 119W on the single LNB, then connect that to DiSEqC port 1 on the switch. Then in the DiSEqC settings, use DiSEqC LNB1 for the 119W setting. Then connect the Phase II from where it is connected to DiSEqC Port 2 on the DiSEqC switch. In the 110W settings, change the setting there to DiSEqC LNB2. Then the receiver will have both satellites.

You may have to get another mast pole to mount the second dish, if you do not have that part already.

Hope This Helps !!
