    NextWave Navigator NCC500 Receiver

    I recently bought one of these units to primarily fine tune the skew of my polarotor and it works fine when it's ON, however, I was wondering why the heck everytime I turn the unit off, the polarity reverts back to a different position therefore losing the skew needed.

    Help me choose a new C Band LNB

    Update: After reading the suggestions on this thread I decided not to buy the LNBs offered and instead went and bought the CK1S C/KU lnbf from Titanium Sat.

    Question about 95W Galaxy 3c

    thanks for the replies, unfortunately I am unable to lock any signal at 89W, I believe the footprint is weak for my location, I am just below Mexico City on this map: I get all S2 8PSK feeds at 99W because thats a strong satellite but Im guessing S2 8PSK feeds at 89W are no go for me

    Simon Bolivar 78W receivable in S. Florida

    the Telesur mux has been powered up substantially, Im getting a very strong signal now when in the past I was barely able to lock it, so if anyone wants to give it a try it might be worth it
