Ok great, thats what i was hoping for. Thanks for the response. -Lenny Sorry for the delay, had to put the project on hold for a bit.

Thinking about this more, it seems that skew on my dish is done like this ? Thoughts ? Thanks !

Greetings, I posted here a year ago about my AVL dish. I have the electronics replaced and can move it remotely with a joystick. I am trying to understand the skew, I know there is horizontal and vertical polarities. And a skew off of that. The dish has a mechanical skew capability of +-95...

Ok thanks

Greetings, when I do a blind scan on Amiko HD265, is it scanning only the known transponders on the selected satellite ? or is it scanning the entire band looking for transponders ? Thanks,

Ok everyone, thanks a bunch for your help. I think i have this issue worked out. I'm sure i'll have more questions for other threads !

OK. I seem to be on Galaxy 3C now... Based on the transponder values, and I have pretty decent picture. Oddly, I can catch this with the LNB Set to 10600 or 10750, but the transponder numbers when it detects the channel are wrong for some reason. The Symbol numbers seem to be more accurate.

Is NIMIQ 6, the same as Galaxy 17 ?

Just came here to say this... this seems correct. Although the Frequency is one off... ? How can I pull these in ? or is it encrypted ?

I GOT SOMETHING ! Not sure what satellite it is... but its something ! I have been trying to aim for Galaxy 16, I dont see video from them though. Thanks for the help everyone.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification. No worries. Yes, new at the satellite thing. I have experience with Amateur radio stuff, but nothing with a dish. Just trying to discover what I dont know at the moment. I'll give it another try when the rain stops here. Thanks so much,

Ok. Curious what you mean, I get the calculation is off. But your saying the offset angle is 63.4 and not 17.3 ? Thanks,

Yup have the boom controls working already.

The mechanical parts of the dish are solid, the electronics not so much. Although the sensors, limit switches and motors themselves are fine. Some of the wiring, and connectors are roached, so I've replaced the ones that needed it. I have a embedded systems, and motor control background, so...

The LNB I am using isn't the one that came with it, I asked about it specifically in a previous post. Its an EPS-020, which should work at 10750... but we shall see. Thanks!
