Looking at the sky...

Ok i got a questions i just got a 31" skytech dish and it came with a universal lnb. I want to use it for all the linear sats but last night i had a hard time aiming it and couldnt find anything even though my sat finder kept screaming a lot. i have 97w on a super dish at my house and im setting up the sky tech at a friends house mainly looking for sports and news feeds. the superdish caused me some trouble at first but i got a hang of it now and i can hit whatever linears i want. is my universal lnb the problem or is it my problem of being a dumb ass. im using a skytech 31" dish, a universal lnb, a perfect vision meter, and a viewsat ultra. question really is, is that llnb ok for me to use?

I think that you would have better luck using a Standard LNBF with a LO of 10750 mhz.

On your receiver, go to antenna setup, select 97w sat (g25), ensure you have "universal" selected for your LNB type. Select a strong transponder from the sat, as shown from Iceburg's post: http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/85225-i-need-strong-transponder-aim-my-dish.html and check the quality meter on the receiver.... Always good to have the receiver right at the antenna....
