Finally...got it working. Well, it finally works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those who pass this way with the same problem, here's what it took: Call these guys: Sky Milenio La Tele de México They sell Sky equipment legitimately in the US. The guys there are great and now the technology...

Thanks for going to all that trouble. I really appreciate it! I actually had to fly down to LA and back today for a meeting...long day. Just got back. Should have brought my receiver with me and plugged it in next to this one you tried. It does seem like it's the receiver then. I...

Thanks for checking. If they are willing to sell it, would you be willing to pop it in next to your FTA and make sure the Q is close to the Q on your FTA? That's the key thing. If they are pretty much the same, then I can be pretty sure it would work here I think. If they aren't, then...

I've tried two of the Sky+ and Thomson shown here: Equipos y Conexiones I was thinking the same thing a while back...that the receivers are crap. I had two of the Sky+ ones, so I called a friend in Mexico and swapped one of mine for his for a test. His is the Thomson shown, but all of them...

Is that on the Sky receiver or on an FTA receiver? Which model receiver?

Yeah. I thought the same thing, so I've tried 3 different receivers (2 different models), and they all do the same thing. I think it just calculates Q incorrectly on the Sky. What kind of Q are you getting down there in SoCal?

Yes. I've used the transponder for SkyView which is one of the 'Mosaico" channels that is unencrypted (just shows you what's on Sky PPV). I get signal and Q of 75% on two different FTA receivers and can actually watch the channel. The Sky receivers always report much lower Q than the...

6 foot dish with Invacom LNB. Getting great Q and signal with the large dish, but I'm definitely not in the middle of their coverage area.

PAS-9 13K gives the same thing. "Senal interrumpida" and "DMOD abierto" in the diagnostics.

There's one other setting: Id de la Region I've tried different things for this, current have it set to 7, but no idea what this is for or what it should be.

Settings Thanks for your help. I'm getting Calidad that varies between 20-30. BER at the moment is 8.5E-4. I have the satellite set to PAS-9 24K LNB is set to Tono, Banda Baja: 9750, Banda Alta: 10600

Skew It's at about -45. I can never remember which way is +/-, but if I am standing in front of the dish (blocking its reception), the LNB is rotated clockwise from vertical about 45 degrees. I have tweaked the skew while watching a meter and have peaked it with its current position. The...

75% Q - no picture Well, I finally received my Invacom TWF-031 and feed horn. Awesome improvement in signal quality. My FTA receivers are both reporting around 75% Q instead of 45%. I can still see free channels on the FTAs. On the Sky boxes, I've gone from 0% quality to about 20% quality...

If you're looking at the same sites I saw, then if you dig deeper, you'll find that none of the places listing the item actually have it in stock. I called Invacom USA, and they do not receive these items from Invacom any more in the US. Invacom USA is actually some other company acting as an...

ADF-120 and TWF-031. You're right. There is one selling on eBay right now from the UK. Just bought it.

Not so easy to buy these items in the US. No one stocks them and Invacom USA doesn't even receive them from Invacom. They are forwarding my request along to Invacom central to see if there's a way to get them.

Thanks. I'm off and running again. I'll post back once I have the equipment and (hopefully) it's working.

One more question: What is the difference between the H and the F models, for example, SNH-031 and SNF-031? Invacom.net Low Noise Block, converter, Invacom, Universal, DBS LNB, 0.3dB, single, SNH, SNF, twin, TWH, TWF, quad, QDH, QDF, quattro, quatro, QTH, QTF, 40mm Horn, C120, high...

Ok. Thanks. I'll give that a try and report back. Can you recommend an extremely high performance Universal LNB (given my location I need all the help boosting my Q that I can get)?

Thanks. I sent him a message.

Back of the receiver doesn't look like the one posted, but that reference to Brian sounds like a jackpot! Thanks. He's north of me, so if he can get Sky, then I should be able to as well. Is his user name 'brian' or is he one of the many other Brians on the site? Thanks for the pointer to...

Yes. I have the original LNB and dish that came with the system. The Sky receiver allows you to set up a custom satellite for the dish tuning page allowing you to select transponder, data rate, etc. I've set these and the LNB settings to the EXACT same thing as the FTA's where I'm getting 50%...

The receivers we've tried are the Thomson and Sky+ receivers shown here: Equipos y Conexiones The only options that seem relevant are the LNB frequency and then a 'select a satellite' page which may only be relevant for providing a quality meter on the right transponder frequency. I have...

Thanks for the idea, but I've tried just about every combination of settings possible. I would love it if that were the problem, but I'm pretty sure it's not. The Invacoms have linear and circular feeds. I'm using the linear (tried circular in desperation, but linear is what's working with...

I am posting because I've been trying to solve this for 6 months, and I am out of ideas. There seem to be many people with good ideas here. Here's my situation: I run a company that does sports video analysis. We have a major client in Mexico. They are affiliated with the broadcasters...
