    Tips for a 5LNB install.

    The elevation could very well be off a little, and from what you've described, maybe that's all it is! I was just puzzled as to why the 110 was coming in so strong, and then nothing at all (on any of the transponders) on the other 2 satellites. You're right - the slimline & round elevation are...

    Tips for a 5LNB install.

    Well, I'm getting closer, but not quite there yet. I was able to tune in the 110 satellite by adjusting the azimuth, but left the tilt & elevation at the proper settings. The strange thing now is, the 110 is coming in at 100% on one cable and 98% on the other cable, BUT, I am still getting...

    Tips for a 5LNB install.

    Hi Teron, Thanks SO MUCH for checking this out for me. I will try these settings to see what I get. Without having the exact numbers i front of me, I'm not sure what I have set in right now, but the elevation & azimuth are a little different!!! I'm not sure about the tilt, but now that I know...

    Tips for a 5LNB install.

    Thanks for letting me know that there isn't a receiver & dish incompatibility. That's just one other thing that crossed my simple mind!!!

    Tips for a 5LNB install.

    Here is my zipcode: 35761 Thanks for checking this for me! I assumed the set-up for a 3lnb would be the same as for a 5lnb, but that's what I get for assuming again!!! I'll also try the reset button (I DID NOT know it had one!), and tune to transponder 23. Another thing - is it possible that the...

    Tips for a 5LNB install.

    Hmmm That's a thought, and I didn't think about the receiver not recognizing a satellite. I just assumed I was on the 101 satellite since it's aligned perfectly with my old round dish (which sits right below this one). I wish I could afford one of the Accutract or Birddog meters so I'll have a...

    Tips for a 5LNB install.

    Hi Guys (and Gals???), I'm a "do-it-yourself" sort of gal, and I have a question about aligning a 5 lnb slimline dish. It's installed, level mast & all, and I've got the azimuth, elevation & tilt all adjusted. I am using a cheap SF-10S Satellite Signal strength Meter (same as SF95 but different...
