Alright since noone has an answer for the COB. Does anyone have an understanding of how circular polarity works? I mean do Satellite providers shift one Transponder circular polarity vs another transponder making it impossible to get everything on a stationary dish? There are like 3 left circular TP and one use to work perfectly now its blocking severely but the signal strength is about the same. I know I am on the bird because the other left circulars are perfect.
How large a BUD are you using to get C-band signals?
Looks like they have the power to light up a mini-BUD in your area, but there could be interference from the birds next door.
Which transponders/channels are you having trouble with?
I'm sure someone on the east coast can double check for you.

The Globalcast 3803 L that has issues for me but like 3998 L comes in good. Up until Oct 1 3803 L was good for me. 3637 L is another one that comes in well for me. 3977 L is like gang busters for me. I was trying to get 4043L but I dont get that one at all. I really dont know how accurate lyngsat is though.
I have a 1.2 meter dish. I know its small but it seems to hold signal up till now. I have a CNX Duo.
I been tweaking since Oct 1.

Do you have a circular feedhorn or a dielectric insert placed in the throat of an LNBF? Center of box shouldn't mean much to you since your dish is small enough to have a nice wide beamwidth...
Edited to add that at the SES World Skies website they didn't list the center of box data for NSS-806....

My Dish is a Channel Master 1.2 with a regular Andrew C band feed horn for it. I using a dielectric insert I had from another feed horn. It's strange how Dielectric affects say 3803 but not 3923 for example. The position of dielectric I follow sortof the same positioning of the Andrew circular feedhorn that I could have gotton so I looked at the info from that and try to match it to this feedhorn I have.
Well I was thinking about the beamwidth of the small dish and thought that maybe that is an issue too but the fnny thing is I had no issues all summer long.

I have been doing FTA for a little over a year, but I am not sure what COB stands for. I will look it up. I live in Central Fl. and hit NSS 806 with my 10 ft. dish and a BSC621-2 C/Ku LNBF. I insert my dielectric plate and pick up anywhere from 74 to 114 channels. The biggest problem is the majority of them are scrambled.
I am in New York and I get all the channels on NSS 806. I am using a 6ft. Fortec and the Geosat Pro C2 Lnb with dielectric plate inserted bought from Sadoun.This is driven by Qarl 3624 actuator. I able to view circular sats 22.ow 24.5w 40.5w and 50.0 w.with all viewable channels listed in Lyngsat.(I am unable to get Sportmax on 53.0w). 4043L (EBS)was hard at first,but I finally got it at 68%. 3803R(Russia Today is at 70% while 3803L is at 80%(Daystar).The dish is usually parked on NSS 806 for my soccer viewing and so what I did was take a TV to the roof and after installation I rotated the LNB until I got the best signal on the weakest channel. 3774 L(gi-mcs) is also weak for me. The above is to let you know that the channels in question are viewable with proper alignment and many hours of tweaking. I am using V3000(GBox) and Coolsat 5000.
Ackeebud,
In your experience with tweaking with circular polarity have you found it possible to be tweaked on say one NSS 806 L circular transponder and get very good signal for that Left circular then you go to many other Left Circulars and not get them at all on the same satellite? I wonder if using the dielectric insert on the linear Andrew feed horn is not as effective as getting the Circular version of the feedhorn? ( I looked at pictures and this is a design difference.) I noticed that just moving the dielectric just a hair clockwise or counterclockwise makes some Left channels come in and not others or vice versa.
