    Locals In Different Time Zones

    The main reason I went to FTA was to have more locals (For program conflicts and missed, so we can watch an hour later/etc). Im on th East Coast so I have those, but having more Fox affialiates is great too.... I know LyngSat has information but not all the affiliates have all the info...

    SG2100 and 31" Dish Help - Yet another...

    I finally got it! Thanks for the help! FTA beams are damn narrow, 2 degrees either way and no more signal ... not like Dishnet/Direct signals... I pick up all birds now - but some TPs are weak, on G10 the TPs with the locals I want get like a 20% signal, but other TPs get 60% ... Any way to...

    Its only a signal LNB - Rather than remove the motor can I set it to a degree that would be straight?

    Bad LNB? Could all my issues be a bad LNB? Ive never had such an issue pointing a Dish before, you would think I could get at least AMC5 to give a quality. I have a dual polarity Standard LNB and on my Pansat 2500 I have Standard selected with : LNB Freq : 10750 22K : off Diseqc : off...

    SG2100 and 31" Dish Help - Yet another...

    Ah, maybe this is my issue? OK, Gave up on the computer for the signal and picture and I got a Pansat 2500 clone so I can get a good meter reading. On AMC5 I have a 95% Signal and 0% Quality (I know, Signal means nothing - Quality is EVERYthing). I have the right coordinates but I just...

    Thanks! Ive seen odd things with Progfinder as well - I hope with this new information I can get AMC5 tonight. (Not that theres anything I want to watch on it, but I need it to start) I have another question - Progfinder says AMC5 is at 40 elevation. My SG2100 is at 47 and my Declination...

    oooooo - Progfinder II is nicer than the Progfinder I was using. Now the Parameters say : LOF1 : 9750 SW : 11700 LOF2 : 10600 These are different than yesterday - do these look good?

    Thanks Pete ... I remember my first Dish with a skew - that was rough - Now they are cake. In progfinder it has settings for LOF1 of 12500 and sw 12700 LOF2 0 - Are these correct for my Standard KU LNB? For TP1 on AMC5 it has 11740000 - v - 11110 Lyngsat says 11742 for the TP. I...

    Thanks for the reply. WOW! So I did find the right settings :) - I guess thats good and bad since I can't get a signal on that sat. I was using a signal meter, used them all the time for Direct and Dish setups (been awhile, but they worked great for that). I could try to use the...
