Hello, I'm new to FTA and 1st time to forum. Having trouble with signal. Located in western U.S. Have Winegard 31" Dish w/SG2100 motor & Invacom Quad L & C LNB. Motor powered up and working. Checked elevation, etc. more than once. Can't seem to get signal to get started. I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you.

What receiver are you using and what satellite are you trying to hit?

Thank you, I'm have a SonicView 8000HD - I've tried 97 & 110W, just to get any type of signal.

What are the LNB settings in the Receiver's Setup Menu?
LNB Power: On
LNB Type: Standard or Single
LNB Freq
"L"inear = 10750
"C"ircular = 11250

For setting the Motor and Dish angles....
Satellite Look Angles Satellite Heading Calculator Azimuth Elevation Skew Tilt LNBF Latitude and Longitude values
Enter Your location and select Your Motor from the bottom of the Sat List and click GO

Herbiej;
You have a kick butt setup for a first timer, must have done your homework!

Had a bad DiSEqC switch, bypassed it and quality pegged at 100. Not sure if I can bad mouth the cheap brand here so I won't. Thank you to all for the help and suggestions. And yes I tried to do my homework, thank you for the reassurance.

Good catch, most of have to be our own repairmen ;-)
