Is 99W Galaxy 16 up and running?

[mjac]

I set up a dish for a friend today. Got on the TS sat with no problem. Moved west and got 97W and 101W without problems but no lock on 99W. Quality meter bounces from 14 to 38.

TIA

Huh. Thanks guys. I haven't had a problem before.
I wonder what I am not doing right?

If you are sure your settings are correct then bump the dish East and West to see if it locks. Sounds like you're onn then edge...

I tried this and it made so difference. Finally I moved the dish with the actuator until I was somewhere between 97 and 101 (not showing any signal from either that is) and in spite of not showing a lock on 99, I blinded scanned it anyway. Mysteriously, I got the channels from 99. I still don't know why I can't show a lock but the channels I wanted scan in.

What size dish are you using? I get everything on that bird.(Fixed dish). I am in New Hampshire and I get max signal on all the DVB-S2 channels.

In my experience the Lesea channels and the My TV feeds are pretty strong compared to other channels on that bird. I would try to lock those ones in good first and then see if there is an adjustment issue.
