    Question about LNB types and Diseqc switch

    What other kinds of LNBs are there? Also, do you have any idea what the uncommitted values are for?

    Question about LNB types and Diseqc switch

    Thanks! I have a Coolsat 4000 Pro. I found the setting in 'Dish Settings' on the installation menu. While attaching the switch I knocked my dish a little so spent a large part of last night getting things lined up again. When I finally got it working, I scanned galaxy 10r on LNBL and got a ton...

    Question about LNB types and Diseqc switch

    I've been using the LNBC and sure enough have gotten some music and goltv (but not NASA dang it!) but how do I use the diseqc and the LNBL? I can hook up the diseqc to the two LNBs but then what?

    Question about LNB types and Diseqc switch

    After a lot of effort, I got the dish setup and the receiver actually working. I am still not sure about the two types of LNBs I have. One is LNBC and the other is LNBL. Does anyone know what the difference is and how they are used? I assume they are connected to the diseqc switch thingy. I will...

    By standard do you mean single? My choices are single, universal, and ocs.

    LNB questions

    On the box it says coolsat cs-lnbc. Also on the box, Ku-Band LNBF. On the side of the box is: rf:11070/12.20GHz IF:950/14540MHz LO:11.25GHz Bain:60dB Noise Figure:0.6dB On my receiver, I have in motorized settings a place to enter LNB type (single, universal,OCS) and a place to enter LNB...

    LNB questions

    How do I find out if my LNB is single or universal? Which of these numbers on the box indicate the frequency of the LNB?

    Finally got it to work, but I'm stuck again!

    Cables have been checked and double checked by others. Haven't tried the other mentioned options possibly because I don't know anything about them. What do I do? LNB power is on.

    Finally got it to work, but I'm stuck again!

    I finally got the satellite package to work but only after sending the receiver back and getting a replacement. Now that it is working, I decided to incorporate the motor drive but I can't seem to get it to move. What am I forgetting? It was working before with the dud receiver so I assume it...

    Would a larger dish make this any easier?

    My digital camera was stolen out my car so I can't send a picture but except for utility lines I can see nothing that would interfere. There is a tree in the neighbors yard but it looks to me like the dish would shoot over the top.

    Would you consider setting up a DSS 18" dish more or less difficult? A few years ago when I had DSS it only took about an hour to set up. I got some signal when I got close, then tweaked the east-west and elevation for max. signal. I thought that was also digital and it was a lot smaller dish...

    which is more critical, azimuth or elevation? I don't know how I could get any more accurate with azimuth.

    How close do I have to get to see a change in signal level and quality? Is it normal to have 25% signal level and 15% quality at all times even when the cable is unhooked?

    Also, the lnb has two cable ports. Am I supposed to hook both up?

    That answers my other question about the az(t) and az(m)! On the receiver there is a place to enter lnb type. Choices are single, universal, and ocs. Which do I put in? I have a coolsat brand ku-lnbf model cs-lnbl rf:11.70/12.20Ghz if:950/1450Mhz lo:10.75Ghz gain:60db noise figure:0.6db...

    I bought a new mast, very heavy. Got it all lined up and level again, this time without the motor. Set everything and checked it twice and nothing. I even cut new coaxial cable to make sure. No matter what I do I get signal at 15. Even with the cable out, I get 15! I give up! I've been making...

    Morning folks. Gotta say thanks again for all the help. I am encouraged now to keep trying! If I remove motor and go with pole alone, do I set the dish to my latitude? Also, I don't know what it means to "log a channel" . I really am as dumb as I look.
