Thanks again for the input. If I understand you correctly, my elevation setting would be 54 degrees and the declination would be 41. That does agree with a phone app that I had used to find the satellites. I realize that my pictures really did not provide enough detail. The phone had...

Boy could sure use a little help, before I end up doing something I may regret. First let me say, I know very little of the history of this dish and it had sit for the past 25+ years before now getting around to doing something with it. That said, I'm a little confused. I am following the...

I believe it was 3960/29300 as it was reporting the strongest q signal at the time but when I pulled up lyngstat just now I don't see it listed. I'm going to try and get back out there in the next day or 2 and verify what I'm seeing. Thanks.

Yea, got the vbox. Finished checking it out, in the process of setting it up. When I went thru the arc I tried to maintain the current settings but did adjust a few degrees up/down of the elevation angle and did not see any increase of signal. Once I get the box setup I plan on having it...

Thanks for the reply. You are correct in that my dish is a motorized system but until recently, I've been using a 12v battery to move the dish. Did not want to purchase a controller until I new I was up and running but I finally gave in. The 44 degrees was obtained from a phone pointer app...

Thanks, I'll give it a try. One other question, I'm using a C2pll lnbf and just wanted to verify the lo frequency setting. The box indicates a 5150 setting but I have seen lnbf's with multiple ports using a different setting. Is the 5150 correct for the dual port lnbf? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response Mike. Funny thing is I tried that. I pulled the strongest transponder signal and using it, tried rotating the lnbf in both directions and it did nothing for the q. There is a tree directly behind the dish that I will need to trim/remove that may be cause some...

I've tried it with the 0 set to 12 oclock, it's aligned to the one of the dish panel seams. I have tried rotating it with in the scaler ring and signal quality never changes. I have the dish pointed to ~/= 209 to 210 degrees so I think I should be on mark according to what I have determined to...

No video "nil, nada". The dish is mounted to a 4.5'" pipe. The 2.5" pipe I placed into the scaler ring opening and then used a laser level pointer mounted inside to see where it was striking the dish. Appears to be dead center. Doubt there is any leaning, dish is beafy and seams to be good...

Well guys, could sure use some help on this one. No matter what I can not get a quality reading above 30. I'm getting a signal reading between 70-80 pointed at G19. I have tried this with both the original lnb and a Titianium C2 PLL dual port lnbf set to 5150 lo. I have pushed up/down on...

Well, the weather has cooled down and the tree's have started dropping leaves so I thought I would get back on this project and see if I could get any signal. Things seem to be about the same, still weak to no signal :( I decided to go over the dish settings and now am a little perplexed...

Tried using the breakout cable that came with the v8 finder and got the same results (no video out with periodic flash of light to the perimeter of tv set.) I then set up v8 on satellite dish without moving of the dish and was getting ~/= a 30 signal and then attached the GTmedia receiver and...

I could not locate a break out cable of that type among the boxes of cables that I have. Decided to purchase a GTMEDIA V8 sat finder as it comes with the cable and as an additional receiver, it will help me determine if there is an issue with the Amiko. The scheduled arrival date of the...

Yea, that was the one I went to after the mono. When I still did not get an output, I feed the dvd signal just to ensure I was still recieving on the AV1 port of the tv. I would prefer to just stick with it as I don't really need the audio and find the internal tv speakers are old and chirpy...

The only difference I can see from what you attached is they ran the right channel on the far side of the common ground. My cable is mono and with only the white (left channel). I don't see why that cable should not work. Geez, with the plethora of cables available (usb, usb-c,usb mini, usb...
