Wild Blue Satellites
Wild Blue provides service from two satellites that are both located at 111 West. Anik F2
(111.1W) was in service first and uses left-hand circularly polarized signals. The Wild Blue 1
satellite (111.0W) began providing service in 2007 and uses right-hand circularly polarized
signals. The polarization difference allows the two satellites to use the same frequency range
without interference. The LNB assemblies (TRIAs) for these systems are designed for either right
or left-handed polarization. You must use the correct LNB assembly (TRIA) for the system you
are installing.
Wild Blue Spot Beams
The Wild Blue system uses spot beams for different areas. The Super Buddy meter will look up
the beam number for your area given the zip code. Each spot beam has two or three signals on
each spot beam. The spot beam numbers are NOT the same as the pointing aid (APA) settings
given by Wild Blue although they are related.
