Ku LNBF - receiving signal

[i4tas]

I am using a 0.3dB Universal Ku Single LNBF on my 7.5 c-band satellite dish. I was able to receive only a few channels on G-10R and could only find signal on that sat.
I found "PiTV" 11718, 26800 [V] PAC1 was the only unencrypted channel, 15 encrypted.
I also found channels on "EJN" 11819 [H] 21000 4 encysted (Channel #1, Channel #2...)
I found 3 other transponders all with no channels
Signal was around 50-60%
I am in the Midwest, 87 is true south.

I was never able to find echostar 9 (121) which should have strong signal.

Here is a pic on my lnb, does anyone know where the vertical and horizontal lines are? are they parell with the sides of the lnb plastic casing?

Its all about the focal point from your dish to the LNB, your type of univeral LNBF is not capable to use on the C band dish. Even use on the regular 1 meter dish, if the focal pont is too far or too close to the dish, you do has the same problem.

Makes sense, but why do i still receive some signal?

Could you be pointed at Horizons 1 at 127 degrees West?

If you think that you might be pointed at Horizons 1, I was having the same problem in this thread:
