Hello
I have been referred to you by Rob from FTA Direct. I just purchased a complete FTA system from FTA Direct which consist of :
Viewsat VS2000 Extreme, 90cm (35") Dish, STAB HH-90 Rotor, Invacom QPH-031 Quad LNBF, CD-ROM, 4x1 Diseqc Switch, and Upgrade Cable.
My zip code is 77539. I am new to all these wonderful FTA stuff. My question is ,what is the satellite closest to my true longitude (or True South)?.
Thank you.
 
looks like its G3 at 95 West

Location: 29.466033 N, 95.034496 W

lucky dog...you have a true true south :)

There is a really strong transponder there
11780 freq
H polarity
20760 symbol rate
 
I dont have the numbers handy, but when you aim the dish with the motor, the motor elevation is the same as your latitude (29). I dont have handy what the dish elevation should be.

What I recommend doing is aiming the dish without the motor so you have a general idea where the dish should be aimed at.

elevation on a fixed dish-56

signal level 66% is that means lnb is not good enough?
