Help With NBC Mux

[Gray1]

Having some trouble with NBC Mux on 103W. Can get Hunnington Beach wil 71% SQ. Nothing on TP 11760 H 30000, TP 11840 H 30000, and TP 11881 H 30000.
No NBC on blind scan either. Using Openbox S9, Winegard 2076. Anybody got any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Get a bigger dish.

What is the LNBF skew set to?

My skew set at 0 and get them fine with a 1.2m dish at 80% plus signal.

Skew is set at 10 RH. Im using one of Satellite AV old Bullet LNB's. That is the only dish that I have that is not in use right now.


Thanks

I could only get the pier cameras with my 30 inch Channel Masters. Think the Q was around 70. (Some generic LNBF, I have no clue as to the brand) But the same LNBF on the 1.2, skewed CW ~25°, from 'normal', gets everything at good strong Quality readings.
Skew is facing the dish face.

Get a PLL LNBF.

(and a bigger dish)

A Non PLL LNB for me gets it fine.

Just as an update. I put a new LNB (Spitfire) on the Winegard. I can now get the NBC Mux. The signal is low but I do have a lock. Around 50 on the 30" dish.

Thanks for the input.

That's about right for a 30" dish. I have a 1.2m dish, with a SatAV PLL lnb fixed on this sat, and I only get around 74-76%. It's a difficult sat to get and keep the NBC stuff tuned in. I'm pretty sure they also keep their power turned down along with everything else.

On my 1.2m with HH120 + Invacom SNH-031 Lnb I get about 78%

duplicate info:

This recent thread on COZI talks a lot about the Huntington Beach camera, and NBC power level
http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/310829-It-costs-too-much-to-be-COZI
see especially the post by Iceberg on page 2.

Quite a few use a spare dish, or a second LNBF on a decent sized dish (motorized OR fixed)...
...and why I recommend 36" as a matter of course for Ku, not small ones.

yup just like you recommend an 8/10ft over my 6ft

My 7.5ft SAMI will pick up that NBC mux if I skew the LNBF. My 10ft Winegard on the other hand will lock it without doing that but I do have to bump the dish a few clicks to the East to get it to lock.

Hopefully that 10ft Unimesh I bought the other day will lock it too once I get it up and running in place of that SAMI.

Nah, that dish was given to me and I'd like to give it to someone else in return. It's a good dish, just not large enough to get some of those problem feeds is all. It would cost more to ship it to LA than it'd be worth IMHO. I'll just store it here at the house until I find someone that wants to come get it and use it for FTA. Be nice if I could get someone local interested in FTA too that way we could help each other out when needed.
