Coolsat 5000 question

I am trying to manually scan echostar129. How do i get the option of changing from H/V polorization to L/R polarization?

What sort of LNB are you using?
Remember that circular DSS use different LO frequency from linear FSS.

But to answer your question . . .
An LNB is either V/H, or it's L/R, and the voltage switching doesn't care.
13 volts = V = R
18 volts = H = L
So, if you tell the receiver V, that's Right, and if you tell it H, that's Left.

I don't think there's anything to see on that bird, but I don't look.
Are you actually looking for WhiteSprings?
If so, you may have to enter the parameters manually if the receiver doesn't find 'em on a blind scan.
The symbol rate is very low, and gives some receivers a problem.
One of the Coolsat owners will chime in and comment if the 5000/6000 has that trouble.

It is encrypted on 129° and we do not talk about accessing encrypted signals here except through legal subscriptions and that is a different forum from FTA.

Use your linear LNB to get Fox from 123°. Check out http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?page=123+Galaxy+10R. The first channel listed is Fox.

Anole, I am learning something new everyday now.

Gillham, I thought it was FTA. Probably why I couldnt find it. Thanks Jason
