    Seems it was a bad cable running under the house. I hooked the LNB up and ran a new cable outside through a window then did another switch test and it detected it that time. I then proceeded to align the dish and not even 20 seconds later I had signal. So when the weather gets warmer I will...

    i wanna make sure I'm doing the elevation correctly. What do I line the number up with on the left hand side? I need the numbers of the elevation but do not see any markings to line it up with. Some say to use the nut, some say to use the bracket edge. Just want to clarify.

I have no other splices on that cable, just straight connection...
