The more I read about it the more i get confused so i need some clear answer to my question if anyone can help. Here is the deal...
Have 1 receiver 311 looking at just 148 only using dishpro Lnb with dish 500 antenna. That's all i need is international channles, noting else, no 119, 110 or anyother dish. Some of the international channels that i get are now on 118 only and i cant seem to find the answer to whether I need to change my dish, my lnb or both to only get 118. Thats all i need 118, nothing else. So can i just move the dish to get 118, or do i need another lnb or another dish with ku lnb or wat. I have prefect view of the south sky with no obsticles. Thanks to anyone who responds..

You need to change the entire dish to get 118.

The 118 satellite is different from all the other Dish Sats and you need a special LNB to receive it.

You need a dish 500+ which receives 110, 118 and 119, but there is no single dish specifically for 118. The 500+ is the smallest, least expensive solution.
