cool deal Ice, I did move the dish/lnb like you said and walla, 121w channels began to appear on the cband side. Doing a blind scan to see what I can find there lol.
Btw: I am using the 621-2 w/o the jumper, and a cw-800s.
Fortec FS6D + scalar ring possible? or do I need a Collar II?

sweet. So you only need to move the dish a little east and you should be able to lock 116.8
The 621 the arrow should be straight up to 0 skew

yes 621's arrow marker facing up, and the elevation slider arm is at aprox 12.75.
I'd already got 116w and 113w just fine too...
damn I also forgot its Laker and Ducks both playing at home too..
1-1 ducks/sharks
40-32 Lakers
yeah baby!!
For those of you in L.A and want to get the Fortec FS6D and want to set this up the right way, aim to 116w (your closest bird to your true south) with the polar elavation of 12.75 measured with the adjustable slider located in the rear of the dish. Also point the LNB's marker straight up if you are using the 621 or 621-2.
its nice to aim at a sat near your true southMakes it simpler
Yeap and also know your Polar elevation helps too.. :up
Well, I'm playing with this dish for last couple day, overall, the focus point, from my experience is not where you think it is...
Maybe is just me, but while aiming at 121W, tp 3900, I simply can't lock it, quality jump from 4-11...
Then during moving that dish into backyard, I twisted one of the supporing rod for LNB, and I twist the scalar ring which connected to the supporting rod, all by accident
bingo... after I plug in my receiver and TV, and move to tp 4186, the quality amazingly goes to 99% after I locked it, and TP 3900 jump from 4-10 to 12-25, and I was able to lock it...
So if you might wana, twist the scalar rings, you might get extra...

good things happen when you bend that dish, cool deal.
:so much that my concrete floor has all these scratches from ghetto moving
my driveway has the same thing
BTW: High winds (30-60mph) and 100+ weather and dish still standing on only 2 concrete blocks..
sweet.....glad its holding up
Have you mainly stayed on 113/116.8 or have you been moving it all time
