    Easiest / Strongest Satellite to aim at from Central Florida ?

    Success at last !!!!!!!! Jim S and ynnedibanez hit the nail on the head. I went outside and aimed the dish for the best possible signal I could get. Then I unscrewed the lnb mount and freehand moved around up down forward back the LNB along the arm of the dish and boom I got q in the mid 30's...

    Easiest / Strongest Satellite to aim at from Central Florida ?

    Crazy idea....Should I leave the dish properly aimed as it is now and unscrew the mount and LNB from the arm and just manually move it around back and forth along the arm and angle it more up or down with my hand and see the readings I get? My arm will be partially blocking the dish view of the...

    Easiest / Strongest Satellite to aim at from Central Florida ?

    OK I finally have SOME bit more positive news to share but still in trouble with why I am having problems. I went and borrowed my neighbors linear LNB which is a known good LNB and stuck it on my arm mount and threw it up on the dish and aligned and found G19 within 3 minutes VERY easily. His...

    Easiest / Strongest Satellite to aim at from Central Florida ?

    I am at my wits end. I have tried EVERYTHING and I get S to be around 79-80 but I just can't get the Q to move from 0 no matter where I aim it. Left, right, up, down. This is a brand new XTREME II LNB I just bought. I am wondering if the LNB could be bad or if the 30x24 dish is just too small...

    OK I did the measurements and now my bracket and LNB seem to be the exact height, angle and distance away from the dish and aimed at almost dead on where the original LNB was aimed at. Also I checked all my individual TP settings on the viewsat and they are all correct. I set the elevation on...

    Easiest / Strongest Satellite to aim at from Central Florida ?

    Does anyone have any experience trying to use the type of dish I am using? 30" wide by 24" tall. Is this big enough to hit a strong bird like galaxy 19 from zip 34741? Also how do i properly skew the Extreme II LNB. Dishpointer shows a skew around 26 I would like to successfully hit at least...

    Best dish for Galaxy 19 from Central Florida area?

    I wonder if the price difference will be worth it Gary. I am getting the one I mentioned for a total of $69.99 including the 36" Dreamstar dish and Dreamstar LNB and FREE shipping. Your deal, while it looks good, will end up being about $95. That's an extra $25 which I am not sure if it is worth...
