Taking a signal finder up the tree made me realize two things: 1. I was pretty far off in elevation (too low) and 2. I did NOT need to install that dish 8' up a tree. How this elevation problem came about is because I had lost track of my two signal finders during our interstate move. I didn't...

I'm going to reset my receiver to those specs; standard LNB, set LO to 10600 and verify 22Khz is on. After that, what if I took the signal finder out to the antenna without taking the tv and receiver. The receiver power should go through the cable and run the signal finder, correct? I know I...

It's set to Universal, Auto 22Khz, LO 9750-10600. What's the 22Khz used for? And not to leave any stone unturned, about 130' of the RG-6 is buried 3 to 4 inches in the dirt.

My remote doesn't have alphabet characters and there doesn't seem to be some way to select letters. But anyway, that problem is now last on the list. I can't seem to get more than 62 S no matter what sat my receiver thinks I'm aiming at. UserSat-1 only gives me a 56 S no matter how I point...

I shoulda bought Platinum. The third option is grayed out, cursor jumps right to Delete a Satellite. I'll stick with UserSat-1 for now. I will report back tomorrow.

Exactly which menu to rename the bird? Is it the Channel Scan menu?

Catamount is right about adding through Channel Scan, which seems odd. I'll be right back.

Okay, Catamount is correct in that you can add a satellite through the Channel Scan menu, which seems odd. Anyway, I have added UserSat-1, but I cannot (so far) change it's name. I was able to add the three transponders suggested by FaT Air, and I noticed that the second number of each pair is...

Phlat, let me try to figure out this add a transponder thing. I'll be right back.

No, it does not show a satellite at 83.0w. It has Nimiq 2 at 82 and Brazilsat at 84. Also, I do not see an option to add or edit a satellite in this menu. Maybe somewhere else? I'll try checking other menus, but this one is the Installation menu.

Once again, we have moved to another state. This time, I have mounted my Geosat Pro 1.2m dish eight feet up on the side of a tree (see my avatar). But when I went to the installation menu of my Viewsat PVR 7000, the receiver doesn't even list AMC 9 (83.0w) as an option. The last time this one...

Ice, I believe this was the site: http://www.northernmostsat.com/ but for some reason, I cannot log onto it today. Weird! Thank you Stargaze and PrinceLH. I'm going to have to come back to the C band install later, as now I am pressured to get AMC 9 up on our Ku rig and my receiver doesn't even...

I stumbled across this message on a programming website. The message was not dated: "Motorola has ended all activations of Cband 4dtv Receivers. Because of this we had to stop selling Cband programming. I suggest that you convert your CBAND system to a FTA system to get all the free...

Guys, I should have made it clear that I already have a 1.2 meter and a 1.8 meter dish, one for each band. I hope the 1.8 will be able to handle C band, as it has not yet been deployed since I bought it. But I do appreciate the info from both of you, including the correction to 101 degrees. I...

Wow, you just killed two birds (no pun intended) with one stone. Thanks ke4est, that should get me started with both setups!
