I don't, I have a few Chapparel feed horns and something else, not sure what it is. I'll try and remember to look tomorrow and see, but I know it's not a Channel Master, sorry?

i have 2. a friend of mine tells me there real good but i dont know anything about them mine is channel master on my 8ft dish and im trying to figure out if it has an adjustment on it i looked and didnt see anything maybe there's another way to adjust it ? if anyone has one let me know please thanks
I have three feed horns, one on the dish and two in the basement, but none are channel master. What type of adjustment are you looking to make?
I use a CM KU feedhorn on a channel master 1.8 for DBS reception and it is great. In general matching the right horn to your dish is always going to give you the best performance.

You could try making sure that your feed horn is centered on the dish, that the focal length is set correctly, that the dish is round and flat across the face. All of these things will affect performance. If you find that the feed horn is off center and correct it, you will probably need to tweak the dish aiming a bit. Or, it could be your lnb is weak. I guess it could be a lot of things.
Which channels come in sparkly? They might just be weak in your area also.

the digital channels . the dc light comes on and goes off and i adjust the scew alittle big and it might stay on for a sec then go off.
Did you try pushing the dish up and down to see if the digital stays locked, sounds like you are off, could be a polar axis adjustment must be made and you are not tracking across the arc.

He had it professionally installed a few years ago, so I was thinking its just pole mount (either azimuth or leveling) or lnb. Remember hes the one that had it installed in a neighbors yard and had to move it to his yard within this year. I don't think its the harder to adjust adjustments. Also i think its quad leg and doesn't have a clamp ring like chaparral, so i don't these things have yet been moved from professional install.

It sounds like an alignment issue. The digital channels are a little harder to lock than the analogs are to tune. Try what tdti1 suggested. When you lock a digital channel it will be a really clean picture. It sounds like you are close.
