I am testing a 30" X 28" elliptical dish and can pick up 110 and 119.

On the Echostar Knowledge Base there is a bird at 118 listed that has extensive and interesting foreign language content.

On dishpointer.com the bird does not show up.

I am at 49.246 degrees Latitude and -123.078 degrees Longitude, near the northern US border.

My question is: Can I pick up the 118 bird using my dish from this side of the Pacific?

Not with a DBS LNB, you need FSS circular. See http://ekb.dbstalk.com/plusdish.htm

The test channel for 118 is 9903. Further "testing," beyond acquiring a usable signal, is strictly OT for this board.

Thanks, Charles.

I guess I'm out of luck!
