Point well taken charper... I didn't know that... Hopefully someone will still read my questions in the prior posts and advise me on potential next steps... Thanks SG

ok... I took both jumpers off and switched.... 110 stayed at 0 signal strength...and 199 went down to 0 signal strength on all transponders.... pins look in good shape... not sure what both going dark on the swap means... also can anyone tell me whether halfway between bonney lake and...

ok... I've watched the video twice....followed all the fine tuning steps... removed the rubber o-rings on the lnb connectors and made sure I heard/felt the little click when I pushed the connectors back on.... 101 is between 75 and 100 on various transponders 119 is between 60 and 80 on...

point well taken Bob, And I agree with it completely... If I had been on a time line or had a deadline I would not have risked the schedule with my lack of ability, knowledge or tools... In this case...I had no time pressure... have the time...and enjoy the sense of accomplishment of figuring...

Ok little dish...I'll do those things in the morning... one question I still wish I could get a definitive answer on from someone is... what zone am I in? Will it matter if I'm in zone 2 but set on Zone 1? On the map it looks like I'm underneath the dividing line... I'm set at zone 1...

Hi Little Dish Guy, The Brand name is "WNC" ... The two black wires connecting the two LNB units are firmly connected top wire to top input, bottow wire to bottom input... I haven't gone through the fine tuning steps as I don't have anyone handy to help me by watching the tv... is that...

ok...I think I answered that last question myself... any odd numbered on the 101 will do...same with 119.... Since I don't see anything that directly brings in the other satellites I"m assuming that it is the process of fine tuning and peaking the combo of 101 and 119 and voila...the others are...

since I'm using the signal meters on the tv instead of a handheld inline meter.... when I'm told to adjust till the signal is peaked... can anyone tell me which transponder I should use as a guage?

Hi... I"m using the H20...So if I have 101 great and 119 average then 110 should be received by default? That explains why there was not any info on aiming/fine tuning any further than the first two...so that does seem weird.... I'm not sure where to go from here but I'm gonna go check the two...

Hi all... A little help on the AT9 if you can... I installed it, have 80-100 on most 101 transponders 50's and 60's on 119 and 0 on 110 and 99.... I am receiving DiscoveryHD and esp2HD but not the other several 70 range channels say searching for satellite... so I'm assuming that some of the...

Your right little dish guy...I didn't mention it...BUT I did sweep the azimuth on every iteration of change...I haven't messed with the elevation but found the suggestion to try 2 degree and 4 degree variations from where its at... I haven't tried an inline meter as I read that some folks were...

one all thing (to me anyway) why does the "test signal strength" screen show a different azimuth, elevation and tilt value in parenthesis after the instruction that its checking available transponders on the current satellite? It shows Azimuth:146, Elevation:34 and Tilt:101 which are not the...

ok... after installing bbc module correctly...still signal strength zero all transponders... :( I'm tired...must sleep....

one more thing... I just realized I screwed the bbc module in to the wall instead of the back of the receiver, which means it was in line backwards... haven't switched it yet..but about to.... just thought I'd throw that out there just to show my lack of attention at times... not sure if its the...

Ok... my turn.... I have just installed an H20 and AT9 5 lnb. I replaced a round single lnb dish and older (10+year) receiver. my old receiver had 97 signal strenght average. My new one... has...zero.... I'm in the 98321 zip... I set the azimuth to 134, elevation to 32 and tilt to 108. zero...
