Update: I fixed my problem. I had the symbol rate at 22.000 instead of 20.000. Now I'm able to get channels.

12122H tp 24.

I'm having problem getting a signal for a transponder on 97W when I switch the polariation to horizontal. When it's switched to veritcal I get signal of 90+ and meter is in the green. When I set the polarization to horizontal, the meter is in the red not green for signal locked in. Very low...

Ya it's working here in Murrieta, Ca. One question though. Now that it's passing the 5.1 audio, the volume levels seem to have dropped quite a bit now on my system. Before my receiver was decoding the audio coming from the stb (digital optical output) into dolby prologic II which sounded...

Ya it's pretty much present on the dance numbers on the hindi channels and some of the persian music videos. Russia today does have the best quality and no pixelation on that channel. So it's the source that is causing the pixelation problems. I wish they would fix at their end.

I was thinking do you think a bigger than dish than the 80cm fortec that I have now would correct the pixelation problem? Or is it just the source that is bad and bigger dish wouldn't make a difference? Like I was thinking of moving to a 90cm fortec dish instead it will improve the quality. I...

I have a dish1000 dish installed on my roof that is not in use. I want to instead put on a fortec 80cm dish up there and get IA5. Could I just take off the dish1000 and replace it with the fortec one. Will it fit? I did a similar install where I took off the DTV 3 lnb dish and just attached...

A friend of mine used to have DISH which came into the house by way of the main cable junction box outside his house. He cancelled that (dish is left up there) and now has cable tv through the outlet in his family room. So my question is if he wants to put up a fta system in addition to his...

What's the highest signal quality ppl have gotten on IA5 whether using a coolsat5K or either stb's? I'm at 89 right now. Anyone doing in the upper 90's and if so, is your picture quality pretty decent. No breakups or pixelation going on any of the channels?

Is "loop out" on the back of the coolsat5K? If you were connected to that would you even get any channels? What is the "loop out" connection for? So are you getting all the fta ones that were missing before? Should I check on that issue on my stb as well?

what do you think is the issue with some people being able to get the channels after scan and other don't? I'm having same issue with the coolsat5K for IA5. Scan after scan some stations refuse to be detected on a particular transponder. Whether it's PID scan, manual scan,blind scan,etc...Can...

Weird thing happens when I do a auto scan on coolsat5K on IA5. When autoscan is done, only like one of those stations will be in the guide. Then when I do PID scan on that transponder, either one will be gone and the other appears or both will disapper. What's causing the missing channels?

I'm getting heavy pixelation on TP11.898. Signal quality is in the upper 80's on the channels on this transponder.

I have the coolsat5K pointing at IA5. I wanted to try to get the highest quality on the weakest transponder in order to maybe fix the pixelation issue I've been having on some of the channels. I want to go through the transponders on that sat and adjust my az/elev/lnb to get the highest...

I'm using coolsat5K (connected by component), 31" fortec, 0.4db sadoun ku linear dual lnb to get IA5. After setting it up I'm getting heavy pixelation on some of channels which have a lot of motion. I'm watching on a 55" widescreen rear projection lcd tv. Is there something wrong with my...
