This makes no sense. I spent 2 hours yesterday testing with two different lnbf circular and I could only get 48% on nimiq1 (again, if I move the lnbf in my hand closer to the dish, I get around 78%max). However on my 18inches I get 100%. This is way past curiosity, beyond interest, this is more...

I was aiming for 34.5deg elev and around 220 azimuth(mag) taken from a 20' string to aim and a compass. After that, I made fine tuning with my sat finder and my circular lnbf. I will make close-up pictures of the elev. Thinking about it, if I need to get my lnb closer to the dish, maybe I...

It is straight and new, I carried it from the store to here with care. I got snapshots for you but I could not find anything wrong with it, I even rotated it a few times to look if I could see a wave but nothing. Now, I measured it. It is really a 100cm and looks like the picture: Fortec...

Improvements Hello again. I made progress. I finally got quality out of my linear lnb. Finally, after so much waiting... (with circular lnb and Nimiq91) Here is the thing though, I started to push slightly on the corner like LaK7 recommended and I was gaining only 1-4% quality to a max of 25%...

I looked at it on the roof and you are right, it is slightly curved. I dont know what to think of this yet but I will think of some tests to do (maybe try to bend it a bit). But even this I dont know if I will get much better results. Today I tried with a second lnbf I had. I removed the plastic...

You are right. I need to set the lnb at 16.3. I did test all 360deg using my old cable and sat finder. But now I will do a blind scan at 16.3 and with my new cable. Thanks again, your answers are really fast!

some pics of my setup Hi Lak7, The dish is new and I find it very straight and not warped. Here are a few pictures of my setup. Also, I added a zoom of the skew I set (21 deg clockwhise when standing behind the dish). Thank you.

Do I need to skew a circular lnb? I thought I only need to skew a linear lnb.

I got my lnb exchanged. I changed my cable to a pre-built RG-6 2300MHz 18awg. My latest experiment is that I aligned my dish to Nimiq1 using a circular lnb, and dishpointer and a sattelite finder. I made sure I had signal and quality. Then I was able to get the epg and I was able to get a...

I just found another post of someone that is using a viewsat pro and had similar issue. I hope this is the solution for me. This is not logical though: http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/106707-help-please-viewsat-pro-invacom-qph-031-setup.html

I agree, but on my viewsat pro, I dont have a setting for "lnb type" I only have a setting for "lnb power = on , lnb freq = 9750/10600 (so I assume if I select the later, it tells automatically the viewsat pro that this is a universal lnb)". Viewsat has not answered my emails. Is it possible...

On my lnb, it says universal linear 9750-10600. Is a 10750 for standard?

Another question, if I leave my satfinder attached, should the receiver get quality? Do I need to remove the satfinder to do the blind scan? Thanks.

The flash update did nothing to help. Still never getting any Quality ever. Settings: Pole very level and plumb. sattelite (97W)Galaxy19 lnb power on lnb freq 9750/10600 (as shown on the lnb) 22khz off (greyed out) TP 12152 SR 20000 H adjusted elevation, azimuth and skew precisely according to...

I am always confused when I read that the buzzer goes "off". Is it the same for my alarm clock? Does it go "off"? If so, how can I turn it off then :rolleyes:? (PS: --my native language is french--)

Ok, I purchased the satellite finder and I got it between my lnb and my receiver. I was able to get the buzzer going on a few signals close to were 97W Galaxy 19 was supposed to be. I was not able to get a quality on my receiver however. This tells me that my receiver has something wrong. I...

Thank you for sticking with me. I have a 4" pole. I got a hiking compass and I made an alignement on the roof to point my dish to a closer start point. I have a 12" tvset that I bring on the balcony and I can see and control it when I am at the antenna. My lnb is as showed on your sadoun link...

Satellite Galaxy 25 (97W) LNB freq 9750/10600 LNB power on 22Khz tone off DiSEqC 1.0 none DiSEqC 1.1 none motor disable TP 12152 Elevation: 32.7° (+/- 5°) Azimuth (magn.): 226.6° (+/- 50° by 1/8" steps and wait 5 seconds every steps) LNB Skew [?]: 21.5° I will try to update my viewsat pro...

Well, here I am again. Frustrated and angry. I tried 97W (wich was galaxy 25 on my viewsat pro) nothing worked. I tried with +/- 5 deg elevation and I tried covering 50deg azimuth by step of 1/8 inch. I re-tested my rg-6. I tried also all these steps by adding a new satellite with only...

Thanks for the quick replies. Yesterday, I refined the level on my mast with a better level (2') instead of a hand size. I will purchase a better compass to start with a better orientation. [hd fan] I will then try the 97W tp 12151. BTW, what is the H SR 20 000? Is this something I need to...

(This is my second try to post, the first time it was dropped because of the url I had embedded. Now I removed them. Sorry if it double posts.) First, congrats on your site, its great. I have been looking for a few months now before purchasing my ku linear equipment. I purchased: -Fortec Star...
