Alright, thanks for the info. I'll try the settings USDownlink suggested when I get home. Appreciate the help, gentlemen.

Alright that explains a few things. And my mistake, I did an auto scan not blind scan if that makes a difference. One question though. I still don't get how symbol rate fits into all this. I thought as long as frequency and polarity were right, then anything can be picked up? I got the...

Alright, here is a few pictures. As shown in pictures, my settings are as follows: Satellite 107.3W Anik F1 LNB Power ON LNB Type Universal LO Frequency 9.750/10.600 22Khz Auto DiSEqC Switch OFF Legacy Switch OFF You can see the channles I got in picture of the Auto Scan. As you can see, I...

Most are music, some aren't but many seem to be repeating as in the hearing the same thing on like 10 channels with different numbers. A few have names, but most just have a number. Seems to be mostly country with some rock and some what's called "easy listening". Looks like I've got a lot...

You mean change the type of LNB on the settings menu? If so, there's no such option. Only "single", "universal", and something like "double and quad legacy LNB". I tried changing those but the only way I get any kind of signal is with the "universal" option. Didn't mess with the frequency...

Don't I feel dumb. I just used the search feature and found tons of stuff on DirecWay dish. Probably should've started there from the beginning. Oh well, live and learn. But thanks a bunch for the info. I'll take all the help I can get.

Is that a bird beak sticking out of that hole in the middle pic?? :shocked So you're not the only one getting some use out of that dish. :) By the way, does your dish smudge when you rub it slightly? When I tried rubbing mine to see how much dirt is on it, I had some white powder on my...

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, so it's safe to say I'm a newbie. Recently I've got my hands on a fairly big DirecWay Hughes Net dish. I was wondering how much use can I get out of it in terms of FTA. The only useful piece of information I found on the LNB was "FSS 10.95-12.75...
