    Since I have no experince with other STB's than the coolsat. I was just gaging it off what kind of strength I get from ION on 119.

    Just from reading on here I see that they seem to very quite a bit from STB to STB. Too bad they are not more like each other in that respect.

    When I went looking for RTV on AMC9 I first tuned in to t.p. 11775. It’s a strong test pattern and news feed. Once I had AMC9 tuned in the best I could I switched the t.p. to
    11735 moved my dish a 1/16 at a time until I found it.
    It’s like it’s not exactly on that quadrants. Like it’s of just a hair. Using a 36’’ fortec dish and a viewsat receiver.
    Works for me.

    The best Signal I could get for RTV was to set the coordinate at 82.5W instead of 83W in the menu.
    Now I sit at about 70-75% with a 39" dish.

    Yes I agree it is like it is off just a hair. Probably just leave it setup as a fixed dish now that I have a good signal on itl.

    Has some good old time shows on it so far.

    P.S. I used the data transponders. But the news feed transponder was really strong also. I was getting in the 90's on all three of those on the CS4000 pro.
