Add-on LNB's

16 May 2008 - 12:21 PM

Have a Direcway DW7000 system commisioned to SATMEX-5, operating quite a bit south of the border. Works great despite being told it would never work.

Direcway used to have a dual system whereby you could also get Direct TV on the same dish as Internet ...... apparently no longer sold by Direcway.
However, have seen add-on ( clamp-on ) LNB's on a sliding bar sold aftermarket ( e-bay etc. ) that are suppposed to bring in Direct TV

Any advice on where to get these units and the feasibilty of being able to receive the TV signal south of the border ( remember Internet wasn't supposed to work either, but it does )

How difficult is it to install one of these units onto a .74M dish with a 40mm clamp and is there a list somewhere on line of Direct TV satellites and their footprints.

Thanks

Are there any DirecWay techno experts out there ?
Have a friend who is taking a HughesNet system down to Nicaragua and plans to set it up down there
( Please, no comments about it won't work down there or it's not allowed .... we know it will work, just technical advice  thanks )
The system will be at least DW7000 or newer.
When re-registering, what would be the best satellite to log onto
The exact location is  12.10' 31.55" N  x 83.01' 55.81" W
Do you know of a site that would show the footprint of this satellite and others that DirecWay uses

Thanks
