need help with G10R

[lonewolf85]

Hi everyone. I recently got a BUZZ FTA Receiver and I'm trying to set it up for G10R KU BAND. Useing a oval 39 inch by 29 inch primestar dish the dish currently set at 54 elavation, is that to high???? I'm pretty sure the dish is to small, but it's all I got. So I would like to make it work. Also the LNB is a single output Hughs FSS type. I read on LYNG SAT that the transponder for most of the channels is 11720 V . I get a 71 signal and no quality no matter were the dish is pointed. I'm having NO LUCK at all. PLEASE help.:tux: Thanks!!!

Probably should give this thread a read in the regular FTA section:

It's not a C-band sort of problem.

Click on Satellite Angle Calculator, and put in your zip code.
SatelliteGuys.US - TheList

TheList also gives hot transponders to use for aiming...as does this thread.
Hopefully, that'll get you going.

Primestar torroidal dish

I'm having almost the exact same problem here in SC. I had been
running a 30 inch oval primestar dish with a universal lnb at my house. It's been running fine for a couple of years. I decided to install a torroidal primestar dish with the same universal lnb five miles away.

I'm having no luck! I tried several times. I'm looking for the oval dish
to see if that's what makes the difference.

I got a piece of poster paper and have put the satellite coordinates
under the dish to aim them. It helps a lot.
