I'm watching right now the Pacquiao vs Margarito event (KU not Azteca). Margarito is talking right now. I'm not sure if I should post the PID because I'm not sure if that would end up being scrambled

Hi Mr.Twang, Right now I'm using a SonicView Elite with a motorized 39' dish and it works just fine (I've been using the recorder quite often and have my HD almost full). At the beginning I had issues with a bad LNB which made it extremelly frustrating for me (imagine a newbie trying to set...

Apple picking up in Maine on Saturday and Apple pie "eating" back in Mass on Sunday afternoon in front of the fireplace .... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.. still doing it............................

Hi All, I just wanted to give you guys an update. I put the whole system back together (day off, no wife in the house) and managed to find someone (from work) who I could borrow a LNB (Single) from. He also gave me one of his satellite finders. I tested his LNB and I was able to find my true...

Hi All, Thank you for all the suggestions. I already took it apart (haven't removed the pole yet) so the wife stops complaining. I may order a new LNB just in case, but if I do any testing it would have to be next weekend (during weekdays is impossible for me). I was checking the internal...

Hi Mcguyver, Would it be possible to have an issue with the receiver if I can still get the DishNetwork Channels (scrambled, but I still get them) with a DirecTV antenna that I have on the roof?.

Hi Lak7, Thanks for the advice, but I already tried that yesterday afternoon (after testing the LNB). I spent most of the afternoon manually scanning basically all the satellites available to me (without the motor on the pole) with help of dishpointer.com (I set up the skew by hand). No...

Well, it seems that the LNB is not bad (I found no shorts and there was different readings from pos-center to neg-side and vice versa). Sadly, I'm going to start removing everything (including the pole that I had to put in the backyard). I would like to thank all of you for your patience...

Hi Gary, I checked in a different website and it seems that the marks on the side (where the metal triangle is) are used to set the Dish angle based on the declination. In my case the Declination angle is 6.6 and the marks on the side 1 2 3 4 5 are 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50. For this motor...

Thanks Gary. I changed the Declination angle to 40-Declination (that's what the manual for this motor showed, now is 34 roughly), did some minor adjustments on the perimeter but still no quality (My elevation is still at 47). I will check the LNB now. Thanks

Thanks everybody. I'm attaching now some pictures of the setup. I tried 12143 V 2573 with some adjustments to the dish as well but nothing. I'll try to check the LNB now with the tester. Thanks

Tanks Lak7. I added 12143 V 2573 and moved the dish around slowly. I did a blind scan too and nothing

Hi Lak7, According to dishpointer.com my True South (zip 01852) coincides with AMC6. I'm attaching a picture of the settings on the receiver side. I was trying to find information about testing an LNB (with a multitester or something like that), but all I have seen is "put it on the...

Hi Mikelib, I'm using a Sonicview Elite Thanks

Hi Lak7, I tried pretty much most of the ones posted in http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/85225-i-need-strong-transponder-aim-my-dish.html , but mainly I was concentrating in: 72 (AMC6)-12143 V 2573 or 12068 V 9755 12148 V SR 2573 107.3 (AnikF1)-11902 H 5859 or 11912 H 5859...
