My DISH is pointed to 121W, there is a new Circular LNB with higher frequency out there.
My concern is, If I use new LNB and turn the dish to 118W still i am going to catch channels from 121w or not? or is there any trick to set the dish to catch from 118 to 121? |

You need one LNB for each dish. Yes there are dishes and brackets available where u can mount mutiple LNBs on one dish to get nearby satellites. Mounting 3 is pretty common and u can go upto 4/5 easily with new brackets. |

Echo 9 is a linear sat with linear transmission. Anik f3 is circular transmission, but with the special cb200 or cb2ooa circular lnb with 10750 output u can only use it on circular sats,and anik f3.
Your linear lnb from echo 9 won't work on anik f3, or vise versa. |

circular sats need a deferential of 9 degrees apart, linear is min of 3 dgrees apart, attach the cb2ooa beside the echo 9 lnb and scan it should work, but i cannot confirm it ,as i've not tryed those two sats combined,but theroritically it's a go.
I have echo 3,5,7,8/10,nimiq 1/3 and 2 ,dtv101 .
my linear dishes are disconnected at moment,use them for true fta. |
