This happened to me at about the time it did for you. I noticed that there was some snow on the bottom 15 to 20% of the dish. All other transponders were coming in albeit a little weaker. This transponder wasn't coming in. I cleaned the snow off and the signal came back and I got EL Etejah back...

"mrpeter are you still using this receiver?" Yes "Do you have any screenshots of the menus on it?" No However the layout is as follows. Along the top under the menu button are the following menus and their submenus. 1) Program 1.1) Program Edit 1.2) EPG 1.3) Sort 1.4) DB Managemant 1.5)...

SatelliteAV: Thanks. Yes I tried that. In tried changing a bunch of parameters on the receiver but no luck. I think it is the TV since on the other LCD it works. As for CC are there any on G19? I checked all of the channels and couldn't see any. I haven't observed any DVB-S2 channels...

Thanks everyone for your help. I solved the missing transponders issue. Bad coax. I replaced all the coax in the system, except the 3ft piece going through the wall. That fixed it. I bought some better quality coax from Sayal. The system has now run without a hiccup. Although when it rains...

I want to thank everyone for their assistance. I was able to land on Satmex6 as my first sat with channels. I then worked my way backwards to G19. I landed on there with 70% signal. I did a scan and got 271 tv and 134 radio channels. However I now notice that some channels I got out there are...

Success! It's working now. I did a scan this morning and picked up a couple of transponders. 12559 V 19999 12559 H 19999 These gave a bunch of scrambled channels. The signal quality meter registered 66% and 70%. I was aiming for 123W. It was my 2nd scan. I then had to do something, so I...

Thanks once again. I tested the end of one of the cables that I used to do the initial probe test. A 15ft piece of dollar store stuff. Only .3 volts. I thought WTF. So then I tried looking in the menu for turning it on. All it has is lnb type which was at 10750. I changed it to other values but...

FaT Air: Thanks for that. I wasn't aware that you had to wait up to 10 seconds to let the signal register on the meter. I just found that out when I was surfing Sadoun's website where they had instructions that mentioned that. So I went out there and tried again for 125w and 123w this morning...

Guys, thanks once again for all your advice. Here's what I did. I got a portable lcd tv and boosterpack/inverter. I hooked everything up. I also input the strong active transponders for 97, 99, 107, 111, 123, 125 from the sticky previously mentioned for each satellite. I then started scanning...

Guys, thanks alot for your input. I will try to grapple with it in the coming days. In the meantime here is something I did. In one of the stickies titled "I need a strong transponder to aim my dish" it lists some transponders that will help. For G19 it had one of them in the transponder list. I...

Anole: Thank you for your tips about bracing and such. I was considering that when rv1pop posted his suggestion. I used that. I must say that I originally thought about mounting it like that to a skid but I thought it wouldn't be high enough. When rv1pop posted his idea I tried it again. This...

Hi: Thanks for the link. I will take a look when I get a chance.

Hi: Thanks for the tip. Yeah, I don't trust the pail to be stable enough on its own. It is a big dish and I could easily see it falling over. That's why I was trying to figure out how I could brace it to something. I'm still working on that. I'll have to see if I can devise something that I...

Thank you polgyver for this tip. I will definitely check this out. I assume that the arc will be right at the center of the moon. Is that correct?

FaT Air, thank you for your assistance and sorry for replying somewhat later than I should have. However some things got in the way and I kind of let it slip a bit. But I am making some progress, just a bit slower than I would have hoped. Also I didn't want to post until I had some concrete...
