Single Mini UNV from AV Sat help

[marco916]

Hey Guys, with this LNB from SAT AV SINGLE UNV FTA SATELLITE LNBF- MINI - SatelliteAV, LLC.
and Viewsat 200 box, I should be able to get 123W correct??

I'm located at 95843 Antelope, CA
using the directions from Sadoum angle Google calculator. My Skew should be set at 2.1
For now I'm using my dish with out the motor. aiming it with my receiver on the roof with me and my laptop. "I have a tuner card with A/V inputs" How percise do I have to be with FTA birds, I'm trying to make very small movements when aiming.

What settings should I have on my Viewsat box set at, I'm just using out of the box settings.
The only thing I changed was the LNB type to standard.

Thanks
Mark

That LNB is universal, not standard as you said...
Hope that's all it is.

But you should put your receiver on a strong transponder for initial alignment.
TheList at the top of this page has 'em listed.

Also, TheList and GeoSatPro have good aiming calculators, as does Sadoun (but I don't have him bookmarked.

If I read what you did, you do need to set the LNB type to universal. I do not remember the frequencies for universal since I am several hundred miles from my setup right now.

9750/10600 is the setup for Universal

Thanks everybody again for your friendly help, I just want to make sure I'm not leaving out any configuration details on the Sat box side.
