Mark,
Just a thought .... Do you notice the signal better in the daytime with warmer temperatures or in the evening chill? Your LNBF could be difting frequency in the heat and cooling cycles.

WVGN was at 35 last night...it was viewable
PSB...I have followed your instructions on how to set up USALS in pansat but when I do go to the USALS "Position Setting" the satellite that I was on (AMC4) the dish go to the true north bird. So I still punch in my Lat. & long. and then reference. But when I go to another bird do I have to do the same thing? Set USALS and then reference? Cuz I've done that and the dish does not point to that bird. What am I doing wrong? I was on AMC4 and did a scan. So the ird and motor now know the position on the "Belt". But when I go into USALS it looks like it is screwing up. BTW, I used 1.2 to position the dish to AMC4 (this was to find it) then I changed the setting to USALS. I think the way it is suppose to go is that when I am on a channel from a particular bird that the dish should automatically reposition to bring in the channel. Is this right?
SatelliteAV. I don't see any real change. The temp. did go down quite a bit the past few days and WVGN has been sketchy even since. I don't know if the temp really plays a factor. Maybe the dish moved...who knows.

You only set up USALS and hit REFERENCE on your true south satellite, then when on the other satellites when you hit USALS the dish/motor should move to the correct position, so you just use REFERENCE on your true south satellite. I would go back to your true south satellite do a factory reset and start again.
Make sure your Latitude is North and Longitude is West in the true south antenna set up screen!

PSB,
Thanks for the help. I managed to find AMC-5. So I did a factory reset. Then went back to antenna setup scolled down to AMC-5/Ku and the quality was very good. So I set the USALS and low and behold the SG2100 went back to 0 again. So I went up to the dish and manually set it back to AMC-5. Went back to set USALS reference for my area. Then it went back to 0 again. But 0 is not where AMC-5 is I must move it 10 degrees to the west. Shouldn't reference set AMC-5 as 0????

The motor has to be in the ZERO position when you hit reference and you are pointing true south, so you may have to motor back to the zero position on the motor and repeat the above. Zero is when the motor is pointing straight ahead. At this point when you have the motor at zero and have found your true south bird I would also reset the motor, with the power on the receiver insert a paper clip in the hole in the motor (see manual) for around three seconds until it changes color from green to red then back to green.

I have found the true south bird AMC-5 but it is not where 0 is on the motor. I have to move the motor 10 degrees west to get to it this bird. I get nothing if it is on 0 (pointing straight south). Everything it lining up correctly because the equipement has all the grooves and and markings to make sure that you are true south. Would that mean the SBS-6 is my true bird since it is further east?
WVGN comes in most of the time here in the Kansas City area on my Satwork 3688, on AMC 4. But my Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra can't pick up squat!
PSB, Thanks....I guess I goofed!!! Today was another good day, the weather was warm enough....but I screwed it up again. I have to see when is the next good day
No WVGN
I can't get WVGN either, probably because I've located AMC4 on my secondary lnbf -- slightly off-center. The other stations come in fairly well though.
I've sent an e-mail to the station so that they are at least aware that some viewers are having problems.

I'm not sure you should have sent them an email. If they realize that many people are watch them, they may scramble their signal. WVGN is only testing now....it won't be forever. They are only concerned with the viewers in their area (US Virgin Islands).
