I was in a hurry, so I ordered a two port FTA LNB on Amazon - the Starcom SP-3602 MINI. I spent over an hour trying to get signal on a dish that was already peaked in and operating perfectly. I had two single port LNBs that I could drop in and get signal within SECONDS. But nothing with the dual LNB. I even took off the bracket, and tried every conceivable angle and location near the focal point. Is it just a bad LNB? It did show background noise when connected. I'm peaking with the AI Turbo S2.
 
Is the LNB a stantard or universal? Is the correct LO set in the antenna setup menu?
S.O.B.

I looked at every number and abbreviation on that darn LNB and skipped the words. Sure enough, it's universal not standard.

That will still work fine with G19, right? Just need to select the right LNB in the meter's menu...
 
Yep change your LO to 10600 and you will be good to go! :)
