Hi Anole, So 19.9 deg counterclockwise from behind. I will set it to that. any idea what lnb i should set the receiver to? wide, universal, single or single-s? Thank you again for helping. Shnippy

hi, thank you both for the quick reply. i hadn't thought about the skew. it is still set at 90. that would be a big problem, is that correct? the receiver, well thats another story. i bought it brand new, and while playing around with it, i set it to factory default. it still has tp...

Hi Guys, I gave up on the little 18x20" dish and got a larger world direct dish with 1 linear, and 1 circular lnb. I am having trouble getting any kind of signal at all though. the dish just arrived today, and i spent a couple hours trying to get signal, but have had no luck. Here is what I...

welp, still no go. gonna give up on the phase3 (and tried phase1) dishes, and just get a 36" dish. still 80percent strength yet zero quality. :(

thank you very much. the dish i am looking at purchasing is the 36" world direct. i just wanted to make sure i had enough know how to at least get something from what i have already bought, before i make another purchase. thank you again, i will give it another try tomorrow. thanks, shnippy

hi, can anyone give some pointers on how to set up a simple phase 3 to pull in anything at all? i have a new Manhattan Skyline 1000 receiver (set to factory default), a new Phase 3 dish ( i know its not meant to be used for fta, but i have heard you can pull in a few channels with it. i have...

thank you both for the quick replies. i will go ahead and make the purchase. thanks again. looking forward to getting it all hooked up (well as soon as the weather clears) thank you, shnippy

hi, can anyone tell me please, if the world direct 36x24" dish with dual lnbf (1 linear, 1 circular) can be used to pull in 101w. i think i asked the question quite a while ago, but have still not had time to get a dish set up, and am trying to get a refresher. can i scrap the 95w ,and use...

that is very cool thanks for that. i was sure hoping that something i purchased would work. so R=V and L=H. got it. ThankYou, Shnippy

That is awesome, thank you. Very helpful for a newbie. I appreciate it very much. Thank You, Shnippy

Hi, Thanks again for the great info. As much as I hate to say it i bought both the dish and the receiver off eBay (hate to say it= because i'm an avid Bidcorral.com user, veered away from eBay.) Both were purchased from different eBay members. The dish and the receiver were both brand new...

my goal is to get 3abn, and i now understand the setup i need, thanks to you guys. 30" or larger dish and ku linear lnbf should do the trick correct? I am just curious as to the potential of the p3 setup now. i guess i got the fta bug, lol. Thanks, Shnippy
