So I am extremely new to the FTA scene. I ordered an FTA HD Satellite System Manhattan RS-1933 Receiver LNB Dish Meter satpro tv (however I cannot recommend ordering from these clowns, but that's a whole other post.)
The system includes:
The LNB is a "Universal Single KU LNBF" part No OTL U01 with the following specs:
I have aimed the satellite dish according to dishpointer and "Tweaked" it using the Satellite Tracker that came with the system following the instructions.
In the Manhattan RS-1933 setup I set the antennae as a fixed antennae. The Antennae Setup screen shows that I am (apparently) pointed at 3 satellites (or at least in range of them). They are
I set it for the Galaxy 19 (because that is what I wanted.) The other settings on the screen are as follows:
With this Transponder I have a good (and stable) Signal Intensity of 86%. (I have read however to not put faith in the "Intensity")
I also have good (and stable) Signal quality at 71%
When I do a "Single Satellite" auto scan (for FTA Only) I get 3 channels.
When FTA Only is set to "Off" I get a few others but they are scrambled.
According to www ftalist com / galaxy19 php (because I am new... I cannot post urls. I hope one can figure out that address)I have the potential for getting over 200 channels. (albeit some in languages I probably have never heard of before) but I am not even close.
Anyone have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Someone help a newbie to FTA (But not to technology... I am computer and electrically savvy)
Oh lastly... I updated the firmware to the latest in hope that it would improve things. It did not.
