Rogybe a fta lnb is lenar an wont work fer the 118.8 bird it circular with a freq. range from 11.7ghz to 12.2 ghz, an most of dbs lnbs only work from 12.2ghz to 12.7ghz, so the 11.8 is below that freq. range, and what Aboristman posted is 100% correct, and i have personal look at that sat from day 1 wich is about a year ago, an when i first look at it used a old data dish (24inch) with a comercal circular pol lnb with frecq. of 11.2ghz to 12.7ghz an oslator freq of 10.600, wich is not standard by any means of FTA, now their is another problem when people get the CB line of the 11.7 to 12.7 ghz lnbs (square flange mount like DTV) is that they have a odd focal lenght, so if u just put it in place of a standard dbs lnb will have very low signal and may not work, or work well, or they did not change their osalator freq. from 11.250 to 10.750, so you would need to move lnb in closer on most dishes to get max signal an most people dont do it, an just bolt it on an go, an then complain about low signal or it dont work right. So hope all helps about the 118.8 myth, an Arboristman keep up the good work i read lots of youre post an very good info. Captain
