My setup is coolsat 5000, invacom qph-031 quad lnb,4x1 diseqc switch,31 inch dish and a dm910 motor . It looks like there is a setup for the switch and for the lnb. Is there a easy way to find out how to setup the coolsat for each bird?
it's posted several places actually. http://www.lyngsat.com lists most all the satellites up there. The ones that list L/R (left and right) are circular. The ones that list H/V (horizontal/veritcal) are linear. That's tricky though because sometimes you can pick up some circular signals with a linear lnb...
basically anything coming from a Satellite that you can read in North America that's from Dish Network, Direct TV, or Bell Express Vu (Bev) is Circular (and usually encrypted except for a small handful of stations) and everything else is linear.... basically Echostars = Dishnetwork, Nimiq=Bev, and Spaceways (and maybe one or two echostars too?) = DirecTV. Dishnetwork and DirecTv have subscribers in United States. Bell Expressvu has subscribers in Canada.
There's also another network that encrypts called Globo something or the other? Can't remember the name... and they use linear, mostly on IA5, and there's a few others too, like the signals encrypted with Powervu... There's a lot of technical know how round here. Asking questions is good, but reading can be helpful too...
There's a lot of learning you can do by reading the FAQ sections.

Thank you for your help. Standards use 10750 Universals use 9750-10600 Is a standard and a single the same thing? And I am not sure how to tell which one to select. Is this information on the lyngsat web site? Thank you from a newbee
I have a qph-031 lnb I know that I can select Universal or Standard. But I was wondering how does the lnb look at the satellite signal with the two settings. If I look at a satellite with one setting the coolsat will see it and not with the other?
I have the switch and the l port and c port going on the commited setting of my coolsat. Now that I am in the mud. Let me ask you this. What is the uncommited setting for? Thank you from a newbee. You guys are the best!!!
