I want to thank all the people in this forum who, directly or indirectly, helped me with my setup. It was a pleasure to watch the Endeavour take-off and land, from the privacy of my own home, without commercials, interruptions, or just as a quick post on the 6:30 news, directly from the bird...

stogie5150, Sorry. I guess the real question would be: is there an intro to LNBs or a 101 course for newbies? I am looking in the forums but there is plenty to read and not necessarily summing it up. Much appreciated.

Stogie5150, Thank you for that input. I've ordered one already. Cheap. Thank you. What will it do that this one does not do now?

Guys, We are viewing NASA!!!! Yeah! I just decided to move the dish and disregard the compass. And I was right. My bearing was way off. I was looking way South. Fantastic. Thank you all very much. I'm going to explore this receiver a bit more. Wow. Can't believe it!

Sory, 11250 did't do it either.

Iceberg mastermesh,Anole, Well... I'm trying for that NASA on Echostar7 with this PIII. I changed the LNB to the one on the right. Set ele & alz. SAA says it is on TP11 at 12370. I set the SR at 20k. Tried several LO values but no go (10750 & 11300). And yes I am looking into getting a larger...

Anole,Mastermesh,Iceberg, Yup. That's the culprit alright! I'll do as you suggested. I'll fiddle with it a bitjust to see if I can. Meanwhile I'll start looking for an FTA kit. Many thanks to all. Sine qua non. Thnx.

Iceberg, Ok. My bad. The dish is an 18"x20" DirectTV WNC multisatellite. It actually has three LNBs! It says it has a built in switch. Model number AU2-F1. It is new. A $5 flea-market special. Or so I thought.

techno935, Many thanks for that offer. Pls PM me. Pompano is 20 m from here w good traffic. Pls let me know your rates. Many thnx.

Iceberg, Tow things before I go out and climb the ladder. Page one 0/12 Off/! Second page 22k leave as is should be off correct? Sorry. This is a humbleling experience. So far no yellow quality. But channel scan works a whole lot faster. Many thnx.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank G.d someone understands my technobable! Let me try these settings. Mant thnx. gomoso

Hello, :) I was hoping I could get some feedback from you all kind folks for some hints to figure out what the heck is going on with my setup! :confused: I have an FTA receiver (Microyal MRX-900, not yet updated, meaning it still has original factory s/w) set up with a fixed oval antenna...
