What is your Zip Code? Look at
GeoSatFinder - Satellite Finder Calculator - Satellite AV and enter your zip code. Select Satellite AMC4 101W.
Set the LNBF Rotation (or Skew) to the specified setting.
Make sure the dish was checked for warping and assembled properly. On the left side of the Elevation Bracket, verify that you see "A" stamped above the scale and an upside down "B" directly below on the Mast Clamp. If you do not see an upside down "B",but on the other side of the Mast Clamp you see am Upside Down "A", the Mast Clamp was assemble incorrectly and the dish is aimed too high.
If you see an Upside down "B", then the dish was correctly assembled. With a perfectly level Mast, set the elevation level using the white pointer to the left of the elevation nut.
With the include compass, find a geographical object that lines up with the Azimuth (Compass reading) of the AMC4 satellite.
You will now need to slightly move the dish Left or right 10 - 15 degrees from the identified compass reading. If you do not see the Quality reading jump up, raise or lower the elevation in one degree increments and pan left or right until the signal is found.
You should be able to detect AMC4 with the Universal LNBF and the supplied signal meter. You may not be able to locate other FSS satellites with the Universal LNBF / signal meter.
My guess is that the dish is aimed too high ......... Over all satellites. Let us know if this helps!
If you testing with a Dish Network dish and receiver, remember that you will need to have the LNBF LO frequency set for the type of DIsh Network LNB and have the receiver set to an active transponder for the satellite that you are aiming at.
