    I only pick up 72.7 but can not get 61.5 on my 1000.4

    Got it working.. thanks to all that gave their time and input. I was locking on to 72 with the wrong LNB. did a switch test without the RG6 connected then did a switch test with the RG-6 and LNB's 61.5 and 77 covered in foil, then tuned her right in and the other birds followed THanks again.

    I covered 61.5 and 77 with foil (lost the signal) but I can not find 71 on the center LNB. I am clearing the switch settings by removing the RG6 fron the receiver aand running a switch test. gonna try again shortly

    Right side of the dish (from the back) is higher. the skew looks right but I will try adjusting in a few hours when my help gets here.

    great point, I'll check it out today. should I cover the other LNB's with foil While I tune in 72 or 61.5? is there a chance the wrong LNB is locking onto 72? maybe the one that is suppose to be locking onto 61.5? just a newbee thought. Thanks for your help on this. it's really appreciated.

    Skew is lower for 61.5. I also tried elevations from 35 up to 45 with no luck. I have not tried adjusting the skew since it is right on what the book and pish pointing software says it should be. should I try adjusting?

    I only pick up 72.7 but can not get 61.5 on my 1000.4

    I mounted a 1000.4 ay my cottage and I can only pick up 72, I can not pick up 61.5. I initially locked onto 82 (i think) and saved the switch settings. I then realized it was the wrong sat so I retuned the dish for 72.7 and got about 60 on the signal strength meter. When I run a switch test the...
