Well, when the Coolsat is first powered on, it has you select language and time, then asks if you want it to auto-detect. I pushed "ok" and it did a blind scan for anything out there... came back with nothing. Tomorrow I'll do a specific set-up as you described - but I'm thinking the blind scan...

Ok, I'll try again tomorrow - raining very hard right now so I'm done for the day. I did try the DishNet antenna earlier. The antenna is functional and was used up until August. I connected to it, powered on the receiver and let it do an auto-detect... it came up with nothing. That's kind of why...

Ok, we are speaking the same lingo... that's what I have been doing all day. Voom voom, I have all the settings you suggest but there is not a 22KHz option. I'm about to throw this thing out. Any chance it is equipment and not operator?

Lak7, thanks a ton for the help and patience. Just wanted to make sure I understand... it sounds like you want me to look at a tv picture while searching but I don't have an option for that (to my knowledge). I can select an option where the signal and quality meters are displayed to help me...

I've checked all the settings and antenna pointing. All are good except I don't have anywhere to turn 22 KHz off. Also, I don't have the capability to be in active scan while trying to fine-tune the antenna pointing. While I'm in the set-up menu I can select a signal and quality meter to help...

I'm trying to get on Galaxy 18 @ 123 W right now - but no luck yet, still 0 quality. I am trying to do a specific user defined search for 11800 V 26657 (tp 5). Here are my settings... LNB: On; LNB Type: Universal; Diseqc: Off/Off/Off; Positioner: None; Search: Blind; Freq: Auto; Polarity: All...

So I'm back for another round of troubleshooting. Started from scratch, reset everything, even put a new universal lnb on (I had bought the antenna/lnb used) just to ensure that wasn't bad. Started back into searching for a Galaxy 19 signal using the specific tp ronjohn suggested. Got nothing...

Thanks for all the good tips... I think it may be a pointing error after all as I have 0 quality. Will try again tomorrow... too much rain to stand outside!

Ok, checked pointing and eyeballed the lnb skew (-29.7). I'm doing a manual search for 12090 H 20000. If no good I'll tweak on the lnb since I know pointing is good.

My bad... looking at old notes. I'm on Galaxy 19 at 97.0 W.

I'm at 84% and trying to get Galaxy 25 at 93.1

I bought an FTA set-up not long ago and have yet to enjoy it. I want to get into pure FTA, no hacking or illegal stuff. My set-up is this: 30' antenna w/ universal Ku LNB, direct coax run to a Coolsat 6100 receiver (no diseqc switch). The Coolsat manual is of little help. I'm a somewhat...
