    Free to air receiver- no name receiver - problem

    problem fixed i hooked up my pansat to the lnb, used the meter on that to tweak it and get it at the highest possible strength. rebotted the "free to air" reveiver, which seems to be a St-1000/2000 blackbird, entered in the tps all over again and this time the polarization was correct as the...

    Free to air receiver- no name receiver - problem

    i forgot to add, its pointed to t5 and when looking from the back of the dish, the lnb is at 7 im located in vancouver bc, canada ive tried putting the lnb at 4 and changed the polarization to vertical and horizontal but it wont lock, it will only lock on the opposite polarization at 7...

    Free to air receiver- no name receiver - problem

    I set up telstar 5 for a familty member about a year ago i got them a receiver that just says "free to air" on it and nothing else its the one you have to enter in the tp's manually what is happening is that it scans the inputed tps and picks up the ch but then after a day or two, it...

    t5- how to get strong tp levels when some work?

    ya thats what i thought, but what i dont get is that if the tree is the problem, then why do some tps come in? would the branches not block the whole signal not allowing for any tps to come in?

    t5- how to get strong tp levels when some work?

    Im trying to get t5 with better lock Some of the channels come in but not others. a few of the tps i get a max 30% but the other ones that i want come in at only 10%-15% which is no good for getting a clear channel now could this be due to bad weather? those tps are weaker and cant...

    PROBLEM: IA5 and other sats- getting IA5 with signal meter-NOTHING

    im am 99.9 % sure that the lnb is a linear, http://www.digiwavetechnologies.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=22&MMN_position=25:25 Digiwave DGS-03S 0.3db Standard LNB is what it says on the box, that .01% chance is that the universal was put into the linear...

    PROBLEM: IA5 and other sats- getting IA5 with signal meter-NOTHING

    i pull it to the east, thats i pull the left side- this deforms the dish and it works but when i simply move the dish to the east/left it does not i used a level and the mass is not vertical 100% so im thinking it has to do with that

    PROBLEM: IA5 and other sats- getting IA5 with signal meter-NOTHING

    k so heres the update all my settings are right when on the roof i pull the dish and essentially deforming it and the signal moves up to 30% while holding the dish a blind scan was done and all the cctv channels off that tp picked up, i am able to get 10% on tp 11780 from 95 when...

    PROBLEM: IA5 and other sats- getting IA5 with signal meter-NOTHING

    all right, so now given the pro lined it up with IA5 and the quaility is 0% is it just a matter of fine tuning again? if the skew is postive instead of negative, will it still pick up a signal?

    PROBLEM: IA5 and other sats- getting IA5 with signal meter-NOTHING

    so what does the signal level mean? it must be something or else they pansat wouldnt spend time on programming it there. Also, why does it change from 76%-80% when you change the tp's? iceberg, the disteqc has no on off switch- with that how should i remove/add cable connections?

    PROBLEM: IA5 and other sats- getting IA5 with signal meter-NOTHING

    k i did a test and heres what i got. i connected the 33" directly to the reciever. signal level went to 80% on 11836. changing tps gets signal level of 76%-80% BUT still no qauility level there is a switch problem, ports 1 and 2 dont work, thats why the 26% signal level. when...

    PROBLEM: IA5 and other sats- getting IA5 with signal meter-NOTHING

    All right, So I had a pro come to try it set it up. This is what happened: He hooked up a spectrum analyzer and played with the dish. It seemed as if he got it pointed at IA5 as the spectrum looked right to him. And then he was like I think the skew is wrong. He tweaked and made...

    PROBLEM: IA5 and other sats- getting IA5 with signal meter-NOTHING
