Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 76 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Sunday, June 07, 2009 - 20:32 GMT and now it jumps to 50 for a split second O.o
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9652 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Sunday, June 07, 2009 - 23:32 GMT Silver List your receiver, your dish size and your location. This channel is up for me AMC 4: RTP Int. Tp 12033 3003 H 3/4 v33 a34 p8190 up!
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 77 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 03:01 GMT Viewsat Extreme , 33 inch dish, and im in toronto cant seem to lock onto that frequency
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9667 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 03:20 GMT Silver You must set the Skew (LNB angle) on a linear LNB for get maximum signal. Use this for aimed your dish and LNB angle(skew): ~~http://satcalculator.freehostia.com/~~
King Tapeman Gold Member Username: Tapeman New York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4320 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 04:54 GMT I've had so many similar problems with VU-sat tuners Use another reliable receiver to get the signal Then do blind scan using the VU-sat I use birdog to find any sat VU-sat is not the best receiver to locate a satellite in installation unless yo are pointed right on it Especially on H transponders Also there is a lot of satellite activities in recent days making pointing dish a bit challenging This is what I would try if I were yo: - Select TP 12120 Pol=V S/R= 30000 FEC= 3/4 or auto - Get the highest signal level by adjusting dish pointing - Make sure your skew is according to yor geographical location like plymouth tell yo - Do blind scan When yor signal is jumping up and down it means the combination of yor LNB settings, yor pointing, and internal frequency don't match Typical installation mismatch error
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9668 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 11:04 GMT Silver and King For best result go at viewstusa.com then load Satellite info for your receiver, you will get the latest TP's available.
King Tapeman Gold Member Username: Tapeman New York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4323 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 12:42 GMT VS hasn't changed their firmware since June 2007 That's V0279 on this page [link removed] It might help for better pointing I use birdog I get any sat I want in a minute or two
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9671 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 13:05 GMT King Forget the number of update because many update was made and still with same name. That's same thing for Vs ultra believe me.
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 78 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 20:20 GMT im honestly starting to get pissed off now The quality keeps flickering from 0 to 40 and back and forth...... When i nudge the dish a little, that flickering will stop and i wont get any quality at all
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9680 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 20:24 GMT Silver Here is the setting for this bird LNB Type: Standard LNB Freq: 10750 Do you have a tree between your dish and satellite?
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 80 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 20:32 GMT what do u mean by a three? i have the LNB connected to port 3 on my DisEqc switch
Chumley Silver Member Username: Chumley Post Number: 318 Registered: Dec-08	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 20:38 GMT Plymouth means a 'TREE' fahan , why don't you use ~~www.ftalist.com~~ , find active transponder for amc4 , select that tp in your settings and aim your dish with the assistance of ~~www.dishpointer.com~~ If you blind scan and only get a ESPN feed , then i would say you are not aimed at the correct sat.

Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9683 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 20:51 GMT Sorry for the 3 chumley is right this is "tree" LOL
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 82 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 20:52 GMT LOL

King Tapeman Gold Member Username: Tapeman New York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4325 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 20:57 GMT im honestly starting to get pissed off now The quality keeps flickering from 0 to 40 and back and forth...... Gotta use something different to point besides the VS Like I told yo One time I used a birdog and I was pointed exactly at 97W But that stupid VS kept flickering on me like crazy The VS tuner is screwed up Yo can try load the V0279 [link removed] Might work better for pointing Or simply use something else Also Vertical Tps are easier to get than Horizontal TPs with FTA receivers
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 83 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 20:59 GMT did, it says "searching signal" and no quality.... >_> if i moved the dish slowly, would the channel come up if i passed it?
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 84 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 21:01 GMT ummm i have an OLD OLD Fortec lying around somewhere..... before i had to change over to the vs for N2 would that work?
King Tapeman Gold Member Username: Tapeman New York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4327 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 21:11 GMT I always find unflashed receivers work better for pointing FTA Yo gotta use a virgin receiver It sounds like both receivers lost their virginities
Rico Gold Member Username: Riconissan Post Number: 1185 Registered: Feb-09	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 21:26 GMT Silver, You can find this satellite with your receiver. Don't let KT discourage you. Use dishpointer com and use the Google map to find a landmark to point your dish to. It is pretty darn accurate. Not everyone can afford a Birddog.

Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 85 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 22:37 GMT if i add the channel manually, and then move the dish slowly as someone watched the TV, will that work?
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9687 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 23:09 GMT Silver First if you add the Tp and Pid channel and put the receiver on this Tp you must be able to get the signal. Are you sure that you have set the skew correctly? You must use a satellite finder for best result, warning many cheap satellite finder doesn,t have amplifier built-in, so don't buy the cheaper.
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 86 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 20:53 GMT im pointed directly at the dish... my scew is right, and when i blind scan i get channels on AMC 4.... but when i manually add the tp for RTPI... it wont lock onto it, i still get that flickering
Chumley Silver Member Username: Chumley Post Number: 324 Registered: Dec-08	Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 21:09 GMT Have you tried to connect the fortec and see if will lock onto the signal? On the same sat with a captiveworks i have the same problem , except its TP 11983 quality goes from 0 to 50% and back to 0 constantly , yet that TP works fine on other receivers.
King Tapeman Gold Member Username: Tapeman New York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4337 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 21:25 GMT Sounds like a tuner issue Revert back to original factory bin [link removed] Download bin V0279 Like I told yo before I had a similar problem with VSXtreme DN flashed bins skrews up the VU-sat tuner capability Try bin V0279
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 87 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 21:32 GMT king, the thing is i have the VS connected to 119 and 61.5 so i need the DN flashed bin
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9731 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 21:46 GMT Silver Post your settings on this bird(AMC 4). Are you able to get few Horizontal TP's?
King Tapeman Gold Member Username: Tapeman New York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4338 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2009 - 03:42 GMT *"the thing is i have the VS connected to 119 and 61.5"* Yo can always reflash it back Also avoid using DISEqC switch Go straight from LNB to receiver by using a female to female coupler Once yo get nice signal level then yo can reflash back and reconnect back D-Switch So far yo have no idea if yor pointed correctly to the center of the beam and VU-sat tuners are pain in the butt when they are flashed for Na*gra
Silver Bronze Member Username: Silvermir Post Number: 88 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Saturday, June 13, 2009 - 18:53 GMT my settings: Type: Standard Freq. 10750 22khz : off DisEqc: 3 Motor: Off
King Tapeman Gold Member Username: Tapeman New York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4349 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Saturday, June 13, 2009 - 18:59 GMT Did yo try what I told yo No DISEqC sw Straight from LNB to Receiver
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 9761 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Saturday, June 13, 2009 - 22:06 GMT LNB Type?
King Tapeman Gold Member Username: Tapeman New York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4350 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Saturday, June 13, 2009 - 22:39 GMT Silver - First delete Sat Make sure yo are not using AMC 4/C If yo do not have 101 AMC4 KU Then create satellite with its Tp 12033 H - Second turn on Beep option >>Menu>>User Setting>>Option>>Change Beep for Scanning Option to ON - Yor settings should be LNB Type to Standard (standard means Standard KU) Do not use Universal LNB Freq= 10750 TP Freq= 12033 H Do it without D-Switch in yor connection Straight from LNB to Receiver Aim and point dish for highest level Keep in mind H polarity are bit difficult to point Use patience
