Not exactly doing this the right way!!

[Rick in MD]

I am having problems getting my south bird however, I decided to go after a few stronger signals, mostly to just ensure my equipment is working, well, I have found 121W moving the motor through usals until I found a signal. Well, it appears that I am off by 4degrees, I have it manually set at 117W and after scanning the satellite, I have a banner stating congrats you have a superdish and it is pointing at 121 W.L. (THis is great, since this is the one satellite I promized to get hooked, and get the German Package from DishNetwork.) However question I have is how much does this through off the rest of the ARC??

Equipment:
Fortec Start Lifetime Ultra
SM3D12 HH Motor
Fortec Star Dual Universal LNBF

I appreciate all the assistance
Rick

It looks like it should be SBS6 as you closest to True South, use the below to find the satellite. Make sure you have already entered your Lat. And Long. then use USALS the motor will move slightly then try to find signal quality. Move the dish and motor as one back and forth on pole, then you can raise the dish elevation one degree at a time then another sweep, if nothing go back to the starting elevation and lower by one deg. for another sweep....

SBS6

11758 Freq.

H

6.111 S/R

PSB, Thanks for the quick reply in PM and here.

If I understand what you are saying here, a valid Freq on SBS that will have signal is 11758 H 6.111 SR ?? Please let me know I am understanding you correctly. Once again thanks.

Rick

Yes thats a live channels, so you need to be looking at the TV in the antenna setup screen for signal quality only.

11758 is the Freq.

H is the polarity

6.111 is the S/Rate

PSB, what program do you do that with? me wanteeeeee
