My friend's is a 301 just like mine though his lnbf is a legacy vs my dishpro. We've had his lnbf on my dish connected to my system at my house and have had both his lnbf and system on my dish at my house. Both scenarios worked and it's been my assumption that using his lnbf on my system would...

Yes we've tried my LNB on his receiver too, but it is a twin 500 dish pro and we couldn't get the signal with it either except when using it on my already pointed dish. The obvious answer is a crooked mast, but we've checked and rechecked that and have tried elevations from 28-48 and swept...

Sorry about the jumbled question in paragraph 2 above. I do understand that clearing out the matrix is doing a check switch without the satellite cable and lnbf attached. What I didn't know is if I need to turn the system off and on again before trying to aim the dish. I also want to know...

Ok fine people, We have now covered the 110 side of the twin 500 legacy lnbf and are using a new coax cable approx. 15 feet long that leads straight from the lnbf to the system without any connectors or grounding blocks and have tried to clear the matrix and reaim still to no avail. We know...

We've tried the higher elevation and reset the matrix. The specs say to use 34 elevation but mine is set at 35 and a half. I figured my pole was off a little. I'm glad to know we don't have to do a check switch before getting a signal. We will try covering the 110 side. I agree that some...

I said, ". . . then use a measuring tape to measure the length from the marked spot to the center spot where the dish's mounting bracket comes together." Make that ". . . then use a measuring tape to measure the length around the pole from the marked spot to the center spot where the dish's...

We have the skew flat though interestingly mine at home was still set at 113 and I had little troubles finding the satellite. The bubble on our level for "plumbing" the mast is between the lines all the way around now. We've changed the elevation in increments trying to find the satellite...

Thanks for the posts. We'll certainly try the different transponders. As for the splice, we're just using one of those straight connectors with two male ends to attach the two cords directly together. That's not a splitter is it? It's the same kind of thing as on the coax grounding block...

We've completed our third round of tedious attempts to get this working. I'm far from a professional but did install my own satellite a couple years ago and then after cancelling Dish Network I repointed my dish to 61.5. I didn't have much trouble before and didn't think we'd have any...

Thanks. We're trying now and will post again if we can't get it. thanks for your help.

I'm trying to help a friend connect the said system to the 61.5 satellite only (no dishnetwork programming, just sky angel). We can't get a signal and are not sure if it is our poor aiming or a bad lnbf because when doing a check switch test it does not show it is connected unless we use my...
