Just got a nfusion phoenix. i have 110, 119, and 91 hooked up. My 91(bell) vertical signal comes in great but the horizontal signal will not pick up at all. Any advice?

Go in menu>installation choose W 91 check if LNB is to "ON" because it can be on 13 volts.The LNB Type must be "Standard".

If it not work, check your cable between the switch and 91 LNB, you can try another port on your switch also.

Thanks for your reply plymouth. LNB was on and set to standard. Tried port 4 instead of three, still nothing...It's strange b/c the Vertical signal is picked up but not the Horizontal tp's.

tj88, is this a new setup? Or did you install a new LNB?

HHMotors should be setup with 91W (or 90 degrees due south) in the middle of your arc.
New LNBs should be focused and aligned properly with makings on your LNB mount.

Vertical signal work on 11.5 to 14 volts and Horizontal on 15.5 to 19 volts, you must have a problem with a cable or the LNB can be misaligned and got only Vertical signal.

It's very easy for you to replace the cable, the LNB can be defective but it's very rare, like I say on above post it, the LNB can be misaligned and got only Vertical signal.

A factory default can be the solution then you rescan your satellites, you can try it also!

When you say misaligned, is that something i can fix? I factory defaulted but the nfusion doesnt seem to have sat scans.

tj88, make sure the center markings on your LNB are lined up with the center markings on you LNB mount.

If your not lined up right the skew on your LNB will be off, which means it is misaligned.

Check the focus of the LNB by moving the LNB back and forth until you get the highest quality signal.

The circular LNB does not need to be set on the skew!

Well i get a signal, but just on the Vertical tp's, the Horizontal tp's stay around 6 for the quality and erratically move in the 30's for the signal...No matter where i move the dish the H tp's never rise in strength

Do a factory default then scan your satellites or try a new LNB.

If you had no problem before and the only thing you did
is change your receiver and 110, 119 the Vertical and
Horizontal freqs. comes in great, but on Bell 91 only
can pickup the Vertical freq.no Horizontal TPs.



Vertical works OK because it's receiving the Voltage
between 11.5 to 14 Volts
Horizontal NO because Horizontal works on much
higher Voltage between 15.5 to 19 Volts and
the Voltage is not there. The Voltage drop could be
bad connections, defectived wire or Moisture in the LNB.

First replace the Pigtail from your LNB to the DiSEqC
Switch and see what happens if nothing replace your LNB.
Not being there, this is the best I can do.

Plymouth - I did a factory default. Nfusion doesnt seem to have a sat scan, just channel search. I think i'll try a new lnb.

Whiskey - I'm fairly clueless to terminology, what is a pigtail?

Thanks for your suggestions guys, i appreciate it.

Ok you use a Dp LNB!

Try it: go to menu>Installation>Antenna Setting>select 91W on LNB Type choose Single DPLNBF then scan this satellite with this setting.

Tries your suggestion but still no luck. from what i gather H uses high voltage. I've tried different cables so i figure it must be an lnb problem. Guess i'll try ebay for a new one.

Pigtail
a short piece of wire to connect from one device to another
like a home electric dryer or electric range.

from a Fta receiver to a wall jack or from a DiSEqC
switch to an LNB

and many many other meanings.
