are all the channels on 12132 H 27500 at 30W breaking up for anyone else?

[Jim S.]

Not that I really wanted to watch them, but I want to make sure I don't have anything going on with my equipment. Everything else is fine, but I've got a good signal on this transponder yet all the channels are breaking up so bad they're completely unwatchable.

It's the same here, has been going on for quite a while recently, as far as I recall. I don't check it a lot, but when I have it rarely has been fine, most times that I have checked it has been bad.

Was doing the same last year:

12132 is very weak compared to other transponder such as 12091 on 30W my ku dish is a 29 inches wide by 31 inches high

Thanks for the update that it has been corrected, took them a while!

EDIT: Why are both 12132 and 12091 shown as V in your receiver, as both are H?

It is the way scans on the receiver Gtmedia v8x maybe my lnb orientation is on the wrong side?

Yes, the orientation should be on the other side so the LNB is leaning like this: /
However, as long as you are getting satisfactory signals on the transponders, and don't mind they are opposite polarity from what they are, there is no real need to change it (especially if the dish is hard to access).

... maybe my lnb orientation is on the wrong side?

By the way: It looks like the LNB has a rain protection cap, that you can pull down, to avoid rain getting into the F-connector/cable.
Is that indeed the case?
