    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Here's an update. The trees are gone as of yesterday. Tried to setup 91 today and got it right away. However im not getting anything beyond 90 in terms of signal. Is it an utopia to expect having signal well above 90% for all 3 birds on the Wavefrontier? If yes, then i'll stop fooling around...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    I believe i'd have as much trouble setting it up on the other side of the lot. The other thing to consider is how far i can go from my electrical box where i actually connect my cable to send it to the proper outlet inside. I've heard that over 100 feet of coaxial cable can be bad for the...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Ok here are mine. Notice how i have several trees... they aren't that thick, mostly pine trees but i believe they can play a factor. When i was prepping my spot i was just figuring out 0 degrees was parralel to the ground 90 was straight up... so in between with my arm pointing at the sky, i...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    If i have a tree problem, i might just wait for my tree cutting guy to come here. But i'm still paying my subscription to Bell in the meantime so i'd like to have this done quick. The other solution would be to move this big bubba up on my roof. But just thinking about it gives me back aches ;)

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Yeah! tell me about the instructions :) The hole is facing down...I looked at the several drawings and pictures before i tighten up the bolts for the subreflector because i knew this was a common mistake. Can we upload pics here? Like i said, i'm not sure if the trees are a factor or not. But...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    My worse fears have been confirmed i guess. I thought i had enough clearance over the trees in my backyard. Looks like i was wrong. When i tried to get 91... i was surprised to see it peak at 70.... then i saw it go: 25 - 75 - 45 - 35 - 55 - 60 - 75 - 40 in the following 15 seconds. It was...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Yeah! i measured it before the skew... once the skew is done... the elevation is off by at least 10 degrees... making it over 50

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Yes they did put 105 as my central satellite. 91 at -17.7 110 at 5.9 119 at 15.4 Skew at 69 Elevation at 44.36 Azimuth (for central satellite) at 215 I know that on my current settings where i get 110 at about 90% the skew is between 65 and 70... so not really 69... I also know my elevation...

    Great! When i said 119 was at 15... that's based on what i got from them.. and they do put 110 at 6. But maybe they're off. Anyhow i have a lot of stuff to try over the week end. jerryt, was your 110 at 0 on their setup or did you decide to put it at 0 and work from there?

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Ahhhh! there we go. I was really following the settings from Wavefrontier or SatLex by the book. Rotating my LNB on the holders to R15 (for 119) and L17.7 for (91). Last night i actually unscrew those loose and i was indeed getting a signal from 91 whether it was tilted to 15 or 5. So i guess...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Well on the ExpressVu receiver it says Wrong Sattelite if you're not locked on 91. You'll get a signal but it will just say it's wrong... It won't however list which satellite it is. Same thing for Dish. Not sure what a viewsat is.... and i probably don't know anyone who's got one. You are...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Thanks i appreciate your patience. Last night i got a hold of 110 very good.. i'm talking over 90%. Tried to get 91 but like i said.. it would just show a glimpse to me... around 40%. It seemed like when i was lowering the skew, i would get a better reading. that's when it reached 40%.. but i...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Ok! Started from scratch but the weird thing is... I could not get 110 only with azimuth and elevation with the LNB at position 0. I had a signal but it wasn't 110 because it wasn't showing the sat on my dish receiver. However my sat finder was beeping like crazy... beeping so much i could not...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Ok let me get this straight so i can rush home tonight and try it before the sun sets. Basically i should start from scratch... Set the Azimuth first and then set elevation without skew. Put a LNB at 0 and then find 110. Once i find 110 with a pretty strong signal, i should skew the dish a...

    Setting up Wave Frontier T90

    Thank you... you are giving me hope. I did get a signal meter but sometimes it beeps and im not even locked on a bird. However i will try your method of getting the center lnb (in my case 110) and then move from there.
