I had reported earlier yesterday that I was unable to get any international channels on bird 121 such as Mabuhay channel on tp5 (11782V), in fact I was unable to get any channels that the lyngsat said I should be I did have hundreds of channels. Well I think I know what the problem is but I dont know why the problem is happening or how to fix it.
Here is the deal. I believe my dish is somehow bringing in channels from the 119 bird eventhough in my Antenna setup for 121 it has green bars. I verified in the channel scan that all the tps exactly what they should be for bird 121 (36 of them total). The wierd thing is when I am on bird 121 in the antenna setup (it says es 121 beside satellite) but up above in the light blue area to the far right it says es 119. How can this be? I know I have 121 tps but 119 is coming in strong for this sat. I went to the actual satellite 119 in the antenna setup which does have the 119 tps but it is barely registering way down in the red. I am new to this and I have never read anything like this on any of the forums. Could someone give me some ideas what this could be all about. Thanks
Equipment Viewsat vs2000 platinum 30" Gemstar Dish Invacom QPH-031 Quad polar LNB I switched out switched today but didnt make a difference. I started out with a 2x1 DMS international and switched to the viewsat switch that came with the box.
I did try moving the dish ever so slightly to the right slowly but no signal. I wonder if I should start looking and changing the elevation ever so slightly as well? Do you recommend doing that as well LK?
Thanks LK. That gave me something else to look at. I did not pay attention to polarization tilt (skew) when I was setting up my system. I am still learning so I just read up on it just now. For my location in order to reach 121 I need to set my lnb -0.6. That will be a very small clockwise turn.
I am going to start over and re-check every detail from elevation, skew, azimuth, and plumb mat.
The ROTF guy is g a y....always talking about something regarding that. "fruitcakes"? oh brother.
if you have motor on your dish and universal lnb you do not need two lnb.that is whole reason why you have motor.universal lnb can pick up circular and dss signal.take your circular lnb off just use your universal lnb.motorized dish has auto skew so you don't have to adjust the setting.go to sadoun.com and read up on the installation help for motorized system,it will help you understand better .also in the setting both lnb-universal,disq.-off.usal-put your location,mkke sure you compensate your magenatic deviation for your location.
J pear...U are mixed up...Dave, the thread originator who has the problem does NOT have a motor dish...and auto TP won't work unless U have the satellite aligned....
Dish motor with QPH-301 lnb cir and lin sw21 co-lsat 5k gets 6 sats great.
What I want to do is use an diseqc switch after sw21 on the way to reciever. Hook disceqc #1 to sw21 out of motorized dish and diseqc #2 to a second asw21 on orininal 2 lnb dish 500 setup. the reason is I have had the best luck with sw21 on this reciever as opposed to running a diseqc in the system alone. Will it work?
RAC, I am not really sure if you can do that.Why don't you try go to sadoun.com when you come to home page look under customer support click technical forum.Once you do that Click system installation than click installation support.That is the section people who has ???with dish motor set up.I hope it helps you.Good Luck....
JP...and nice to see U here...someone else who will/can give a hand to help out...not too many people do help out here..this site is unlike any other DSS forums..no files and mostly all non reading newbies looking for FREE TV only..thrown in with some 10 yr smart mouth kids obsessed with their puberty ..
LK, No problem,it happens.I will do my best to help others.I have read your posts too from here.I have learnt from alot of your posts.Keep up the good work!!!!!
Dave, Look for viewsat file 1038.I believe 1034 does not have very good usal support(moving the motor)with 1038 it supposed to improve the operation of your motor and fix on closed caption.Good Luck.Since you got 1034 I guess you know where to get 1038.If not let me know.......
Dave, I started with true fta.What I did was I used factory satellite list and lock on to 97W(T-5)Once you have that satellite come in you should"t have any trouble.Like I said your dish has to be perfectly aligned with true south with motorized system.Make sure you check your magnetic deviation .Check you motor and be sure it is the longitude.Check dish elevation.When you adjust dish elevation you have to bring the dish back to home or reference position.
