    Phillipines FTA, what birds?

    Thanks Shawn. I found one in no time! Looks like my dish was slightly off mark and missed a few on blind scan of IA5 the first time around.

    Phillipines FTA, what birds?

    I'v got what you might say is a global family. My parents are from Mayorca, I was born in Puerto Rico, and my wife's parents are from India, and the Phillipines. Everybody comes over asking me to find stuff for them, and I've gotten pretty good at blind scanning with my Viewsat/Hh motor, but...

    Elevation With/Without Motor

    Well, I was right. I couldn't mount the Dish500 LNB in place of the new one due to the diffrent sizes, but I held it up by hand and BAM! Got signal. It's definately the QPH-031 that's bad. Hopefully I can find the guy who sold it at the swap meets this weekend. He has a very good reputation...

    Elevation With/Without Motor

    I'm not quite ready to blame the LNB just yet, but it's the best candidate I can find. Last night I dug out the Dish 500 and re-installed it 4 feet away from the new one. I set the elevation and left the other bolts loose so I could move it around. I found ES1, ES2, ES4, ES7, ES8/10, a...

    Elevation With/Without Motor

    Despite the great help, I've not been able to get a good signal. My suspicion now is that the LNB is bad. I think I mentioned that it is a QPH-031. I have an analog satellite finder. Is there any troubleshooting advice? Is there a good way to check the LNB function? GOD! I'M SO FRUSTRATED!!!

    Elevation With/Without Motor

    Thanks Pete. The values you gave are the same that I settled on. This should not be so hard! 1. I've removed the DiSEqC from the line, so now I've got: QPH-031 "L" Connector to Motor to VS2000 Reciever. 2. I've checked the mounting pole from all sides. It is plum. 3. I've set the...

    Elevation With/Without Motor

    The guy that sold it to me said a few thing to sell me on it. 1. The motor (SG-2100) will let you point at multiple satellites, but it wont work with your 500. 2. The big dish here (what he sold me) will pick up the signal better, because it's BIGGER. 3. This quad LNB replaces the 2 separate...

    Elevation With/Without Motor

    I bought a new Dish/Motor/Quad LNB today to replace my trusty but rusty Dish 500. I've never had such a difficult time pointing something in my life! I have to admit that I'm the type that doesnt read manuals, but in this case I did, and I think that's what has me confused. I saw in some...
