Dish question?
I have an old Starchoice eliptical dish laying around, if I
were to change the LNB's would it work to receive
110/119? As the curvature of it is quite a bit different
than my other dishes.
thanks!  |

Re: Dish question?
you may also want to change the LNB holder, im not sure of the spacing.
its a good sized dish, with the proper holder and lnbs should work fine.

Re: Dish question?
i just went over and checked my neighbors star dish, its pretty big.
i bet with the proper yoke you could get 4 sats, 82, 91, 110, 119.
or something close, at least 3 birds.
you will need a yoke (holder) that holds 5 lnbs.
worth a try.

Re: Dish question?
I'm pretty sure you can hit 5 birds with a Starchoice eliptical. At least thats what the people that sell 5 lnb brackets say.
