    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    How far can the satellites be for 3 lnb's? I heard that it can't be more than 10 degrees? For some reason, my quality from amc4 dropped. It was about 60-70 before but now it is about 30-40. What would be the problem? weather would not be a problem because it is sunny outside... plus, when I...

    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    hmmm I got a signal from amc 4... with this setting: Lnb type - universal 1 lnb local freq. 9750/10600 22khz - - I think I am on it because I got 3ABN radio and lifetalk radio which is on amc 4. But a weird thing is, I am getting 30-40 quality on every tp except tp3 which I don't know...

    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    I found out that Coolsat cs-lnbc was really a circular, so I used that to aim, and success! now I've tried 3 satellites. 110, 148, and nimiq 2 for some reason. I didn't want nimiq 2, but some how while rotating the dish, I got a signal :) ( I put the circular lnb in center) But one problem...

    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    10 days of trial and error, I finally ran out of solutions. I tried switching the RG59 cable to 32 feet RG6 2.4GHz cable, make sure the mast is level, and settings in the Pansat 2700a, but still 0 quality. I posted a few posts here, and I've had great answers from everyone here. Thank you...

    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    So what satellite should I use for my true south for linear lnb? In my location, there is not really a choice of satellites. The satellites close to me are mostly No channels, or DBS. I just want to get at least a single signal to see if i am doing the right thing. sadly, I do not have any dbs...

    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    I am right :) ? But this is not a good thing :( so does this mean I can't get it? :no Then what satellite should I use? I have another question! My dad just bought a RG6 cable.. 2.2GHz. but it says indoor! He said there was ones that was 2.4 GHz and was outdoors... is 2.4GHz better? My...

    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    hmm...weird... No matter what, I can't find any signal. I get signal level from 70 to even 85, but nothing in quality :( I am going to change the cable to RG6 today... to see if it makes any changes. I am using fsku-v lnb right now... straight to the receiver. I've tried to change the...

    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    I left out 3 and 5 because I didn't have any questions about your reply above. 4. If I keep the screw through the dish, wouldn't it change the angle of the elevation? would satmex 5 reach my location? I heard that its very weak from where I live... because it just drops down from the U.S.A...

    Still having trouble picking up a signal...

    1. No 22kHz tone.. this means off, right? 2. So, do I have to buy a RG6 cable? Do you know why RG59 would not work? Because I would use it if it's possible... Would RG59 pick up no signal? 4. I have already tried, but if you remove the screw, the dish would drop down! it would not hold it even...

    Thank you PSB and Ultatryon! I really appreciate it! But I have another question. Would I be able to get all the free tv in "lyngsat /freetv/United-States " this page (except for the red ones)? How come there's some channels that comes from Koreasat 3, which you can't watch? is it...

    request and questions

    Hi again! came with few more questions and a request. I live in Calgary AB, Canada. I might buy a pansat 2700a with 33" dish. couldn't find any bigger dishes... questions 1. Does a dish with a SG2100 motor need a pole? or can I mount it on my deck which faces south? 2. Can I get any...

    Hello! I am new to the FTA stuff...

    then what should I use for my true south satellite? Where do I go for general questions about how to set the dish to point at the true south satellite? (tools, and how to) Thank you.

    Hello! I am new to the FTA stuff...

    Do I need to add/subtract Magnetic Declination from the azimuth angle? Why is there 2 sections of stationary and motorized if the values are the same? Oh! and why does it say True north in stationary section? "But there are a few Korean channels that you can get with a 36" dish." does...

    Hello! I am new to the FTA stuff...

    http://www.thesatshack.com/docs/satlocator.html in kusat, the motor they have is very expensive. Over 100 bucks! why is that? Is there a website that has cheaper motors? "Your true south satellite will be at the same orbital position as your Longitude!" How do I find the longitude of...
