    Newbie, help w/ alignment & LNB freq

    Unfortunately don't even have a motor on it. I'll guess I'll just go ahead and hook up my smaller tv and receiver out there and see what I can find. Thanks for all the help, I'm sure I'll be griping some more tonight if I still didn't get a lock.

    Newbie, help w/ alignment & LNB freq

    I've been trying to tweek it but haven't been succesful. Getting very frustrated. Should I just buy an analog satellite finder? Are they reliable? And how the hell are you supposed to be able to use a compass when using it anywhere near the dish get's it all out of wack!

    Newbie, help w/ alignment & LNB freq

    I did make sure that the LNB freq was set to 10750 on the setup screen. And it lists this on the screen when I go to blind scan but then below it also lists TP - 11700 ~ 12200 SR - full Pol - all Mode - all I did try a blind scan and it didn't find anything. I also tried a scan...

    Newbie, help w/ alignment & LNB freq

    Ok sorry I'm really new at this here. I can't get a channel because the signal is not locked in enough to the satellite to pick channels up on scan so I don't understand what you mean. Also, if I go to blind scan, the TP is currently set between 11.700 ~ 12.200. Should I change this? I did...

    Well my signal strength is at 97% but my quality is still around 20% after adjusting the azimuth back and forth. So I don't know what else to do. Could you explain what you mean by "active TP setting?"

    Newbie, help w/ alignment & LNB freq

    Ok cool, thanks for all this help. I'm now up to 25% quality so I guess I'm getting somewhere. So is there any other adjustments I need to make other than just making slight adjustments to azimuth or my elevation?

    Newbie, help w/ alignment & LNB freq

    Ok thanks! So then on my setup screen it's okay to leave it at 9.750/10.750? I wasnt' sure what the first # was. Still curious about the skew issue?

    Ok sorry, I guess I was just backwards. So for 30.4 elevation it would actually be set at 52.4?

    Newbie, help w/ alignment & LNB freq

    Well here's as much info as I have on the LNB Ultrasat Model US-200L RF: 1.70/12.20 GHz IF: 950/1450 Mhz LO: 10.75 GHz Gain 60dB Noise Figure: .6dB So since it's an offset dish (which I don't really know what that means) if the elevation is supposed to be 30.4 I set is at 22 deg lower...

    Coolsat 5000 Ultrasat Ku-band dual LNB 30" dish I'm struggling here fellas. Just purchased this and I can't seem to get a signal. So here's the questions... 1. My numbers are 30.4 elevation, 224.88 Azimuth. I'm in Battle Creek, MI. Is this right? The elevation does seem right to me...
