    DSNG good choices?

    Hey all. I've been finding a lot of CBS all over G16 and while I think I have found the other common sats that see a lot of DSNG I'm not finding much even at the same time G16 has a bunch of feeds. (IE i can get the various permanent signals but nothing else) Anyone know which ones are most...

    Anyone getting g16 11787/3979?

    Thanks so much for the explanations.

    Anyone getting g16 11787/3979?

    Since I'm pretty new at this stuff, is the symbol rate reflective of the "width" of the signal and impact the chance of hitting it right? Or is themajor issue with these that the sources are different everytime so its dependent on if the uplink is dead-on? For example that main "Newspath" feed...

    Anyone getting g16 11787/3979?

    Hey guys. Anyone getting g16 11787/3979? It's supposed to be a CBS wild feed (yes its on lyngsat) in use right now. There are other wildfeeds with the same parameters coming in great on g16 but this one is really flaky for me recently.

    Wow I'm clearly new at this because I don't even understand what you mean about 180 out? I'm inclined to believe that the dish itself is actually mounted plum and all that because i've gotten stuff from as far over as AMC6 at 74W and as far over as something in the 130something range on CBAND...

    Wierd thing is that the 4dtv controlled the motor just fine but this setup is having trouble. I can live with it I suppose but with this kind of jumping around its very hard to find a sat again... Sounds like the consensus on that is the actuator and positioner not really talking in a consistent...

    Ugh. Well was having fairly good luck for a while. Had a friend go on roof. Found G26 and rotated LNBF and pulled it in and out different distances from ring and got strong signal. Skipped down a few to G28 and was getting nothing till again doing some rotations and got a decent signal. Then...

    This NVRAM clearing procedure doesn't seem to work on the 7100. Anyone had success doing it?

    That would be great if you could send. Can I do the reload from USB instad of a cable (which I don't have?) There seems to be some mixed advice on that.

    I have used USB key and the built-in restore to factory default a few times. Its the most recent version (dated this January) both in the factory default and downloadable from the coolsat site. I haven't been convinced that it has been totally wiped/reset though -- can anyone guide me on that?

    Thanks for checking in....so close to throwing the whole thing off the roof. Literally have things that were there on saturday no longer there with no setup changes. can scan entire arc on a known live frequency and just not find it. This afternoon's project...back up to roof (depsite the heat)...

    Coolsat/BSC621-2

    See I *thought* i was set up and finding stuff but I think its screwed up again. Because this morning I was getting a level and finding things where they were supposed to be. Now I'm not finding anything at all and don't really think its searching for anything. In fact when I put in a...

    Coolsat/BSC621-2

    Thanks Gabeshere Well I'm not expecting to see QUALITY unless it finds something. But I thought the LEVEL was just a reflection of being connected to the LNBF and that has always been pretty consistently in the 80% range for me, regardless of whether or not their was any quality. So its really...

    Coolsat/Beating Head against wall Figure you're all probably sick of me at this point, but I've got another question. This morning I was continuing to find my satellites and save the positions, with good success. Coolsat 7100 (freshly restored to factory settings) LNBF: BSC621-2 Motech...

    Is that in my Diseqc 1.0 set of options or the 1.0 distant or the 1.1 I can set all 3 in the menu. BTW getting a signal now. Had a crappy coax problem. Just trying to find something to aim.
