#How to find directv satellite transponder list install#
I was his first install of the H3, but had read an email from corporate about that. Even before the rest installed it, he advised me on that fact. But when the Hopper 3 came out, with a different dish and LNB. With the 722k model, the signal numbers were well above 80 on all 3 birds. It started with 722k model then upgraded to the Hopper 3. At the previous address it was “professionally” installed. Now it’s buried and with a few rocks on top of it.Īs for those signal numbers, they are pretty accurate and good. Just slapped it into a 5 gallon bucket with a bag of concrete. As it fell down during high winds and before I wasn’t able to secure it permanently when I moved here. with a little tweak here and there due to the dish’s arm being broken.
When I have used the app with open line of site to the sky I was getting high 90% with both LNBs (using the dual LNB settings within the app). How is your line of site to the birds from the dish location?Īre you trying to aim using the single LNB or dual LNB within the App? If Single LNB and trying to get both birds, I think you will have problems. I'm not familiar with Dish Network however those signal strength numbers seem low. If you then select the Information button it provides you with the elevation, Azimuth, and Plarisation (polarization?). In the bottom right if you select the compass you can use it to obtain proper direction that the dish needs to be pointing. Once you select which birds it takes you to a sat image of your location. For me in Canada I need Nimiq 82w,91w and Anik F1R, G1, and F2 birds depending on the provider. From there you need to know what birds your provider points to. Once you open the App select the Dish (Top left corner) than in bottom right select the dual LNB (Middle Option). I haven't gone out yet, but would like to know how the polarisation (polarization) is measured. Perhaps because it's the center one and to set up the dish itself, you have to point it to the center one? Whereas if I were to chose multiple LNBs it would give me the specs for the 72.7ºW bird. On that screen in the lower left there are options for single or multiple LNBs.įor my location if I were to select single and then the following.Ħ1.5ºW, it gives me 40.82º elevation, 164.14º true north and -11.81º polarisation.ħ2.7ºW, it gives me 42.05º elevation, 180.81º true north and 0.61º polarisation. Which can be all of them, just the ones that are visible from your location or favorites.
When you click on the satellite icon in the upper left. I believe I get it now, at least with the app that SWOInstaller mentioned.
