Telstar 12 set up on Pansat 2500

[lagers20051]

I need help!!

I'm trying to get the greek station ANT1 on Telstar 12 dish from Toronto and can't seem to get any kind of signal on the reciever. I don't know if my dish is too small, the bird is too low on the horizon, have the wrong lnb, or just a bad setup. Here's what I have/know:

Equipment: I've got a 33" in dish and a pansat 2500a. The LNB says "Microelectronics Technology, AP8-XT2, 10.7-12.75 GHz, Universal Golden Single 40mm 0.6db. Is this the right LNB?

I got the azimuth off a satellite site at 108.32 at elevation 9.76 and I've played with the skew...but nothing

Lyngsat shows the following for this satellite:
Freq: 11804 tp 24
SR 3300

ON THE PANSAT:
I've checked T12 but I'm not sure of the parameters.

LNB TYPE: There are several options here...but I don't know which is the correct one...and Yes...I've tried them all.
1) Standard 10750
2) Single 10750(v)/10750(h)
3) Universal 1 9750/10600
4) Universal 2 9750/10750
5) Single SL 5150/5750
6) Single SH 5150/5750

22KHz is OFF
DisEQc is OFF
SKEW 45
TP...I added one ... 11804H 3.3 which I think i did correctly to match the lyngsat info for ANT 1

What's the correct setup and what am i missing here?

Hello and welcome to the SatelliteGuys.US FTA forum

I would try to set up your system to an easy to find satellite first as IA-12 is really at the fringe of reception and the dish elevation is so low it will be a problem. You can always come back to this satellite and try again, but I feel you will need a bigger dish and a lower noise LNBF.

Universal 1 is the correct LNBF setting.
