Do I have the right equipments?!!

[panorama]

Thanks Lak7 ..
- At least, I'm not getting channels from (12090 H tp 22), and (11867 V tp 7) on the Lyngsat website

- I was in front of the dish, and I skew it counter-clockwise

- I'm pretty sure I skew it more than 1/4"

- I didn't check the TP numbers. I'll check them tonight

If you don't have an angle finder, an "hour" on a clock is 30 degrees.

Best thing to do is use an inclinometer and set the dishes elevation to your area for 97. Then slightly move the dish from where you at and 97 should pop right in.

Thank you very much guys for all your help.

I finally got the channels to work, and this is what I did. First, I adjusted the LNB skew, and I was able to see the channels clear. Second, I moved the dish a little bit down, and I was able to see more channles (The channels were there, but there was no signal).

However, there are a couple of issues:
1- I'm still not getting the channels from (11929 V tp 11), and I'm hesitant to move the dish down more!!
2- Some of the channels break up a little bit, so I don't know whether it is the weather or the LNB?!!

Did you try a Blind Scan?

Did you try a Blind Scan?

Yes.. Every time I change something, I do blind scan

 

[Lak7]

Are you Locking any Vertical TPs?

Can you List the Quality reading from some of the TPs you are Locking?

Lak7.. these are the quality readings from some of the TPs:

Al-Iraqiya TV, TP 25, Quality 69%
Alkarma TV, TP 3, Quality 69%
Al-Forat Satellite TV, TP 19, Quality 88%
AssyriaSat, TP 7, Quality 66%
Tapesh TV, TP 5, Quality 88%

The channels I can't see are in the list, but there is no signal!!

Try entering the TP info manually, maybe the Blind Scan is just missing it.

I'm not sure how to do that, but I'll play with the receiver tonight

 

[Lak7]

Look in the Manual, pages 15 and 16 explain how to do a Manual Scan and Add TPs.

Thank you so much Lak7 for all your help.

After playing with the LNB and doing a blind scan every time, I was able to see the missing channels. I still believe that my dish needs to be tweaked a little bit because some of the channles are breaking up a little bit, and are not sold. Other than that, everything looks ok now.

Try a little "pressure" on the Dish, don't loosen anything, just push it all 4 directions while watching the Quality Meter - see if there is any improvement.
It could be your Dish is a little small for the task at hand.
