Hi,

Could you give us a clue?

What are 110* and 119*?

Where are you located?

What dish size is it?

Ahh, I see, 110W and 119W.

I take it you are from the US or somewhere similar. This is a UK forum, so we don't have anything to do with satellites that far west. You would be better off going to one of the sat forums over your way.

satelliteguys are something like that, as I recall.

The reason you won't get all the frequencies is because there are 2 different systems being broadcast off those satellites

You have the normal DVB system which near enough everyone uses and then you have the DSS system which DirecTv uses. The two are incompatible with each other as far as i am aware

The other reason maybe the lnb. As i have never used an lnb which uses circular polarisation (Other than an old BSB Squarial which was fixed to R/H polarisation) I have no idea if they switch from L/H to R/H polarisation in the same way that ours switch from Vertical to horizontal polarisation.

If the lnbs are fixed to either l/H or R/H that may cause a problem
