I use Starband,a 360 modem, a .74 dish with a BOW for Dish Network on 110 and 119. When I have to do the Starband satellite re-point I've read that the BOW will no longer work for Dish 119. Is there anything in the works to still be able to use the Starband dish for both internet and TV?

Thanks,

John

Unfortunately, no, there isn't.

It becomes more than a simple problem of retrofitting the existing BOW to the new bracket and adjust it for 121.

Because the 119 satellite used by Dish is only 2 degrees away, it requires a special purpose LNB.

One thing that can minimize the hassle is to clamp/attach the Dish Network dish to one leg of the tripod. That way, you at least don't need a second tripod, etc.
