Now, I can...

    Qph-31 LNB work for Direct TV?

    I have had a subscription to Direct TV since I retired and began travel in the RV full time. Before retiring, I had played with FTA, consequently I have a 36" dish and a Qph-31 LNB. Most of the time, my little dish affixed on top of the RV works fine. On occasion I am in an area where I cannot...

    Hey guys, I'm back trying to learn some more. Took a shot at lining up with 97.0W. I get squeal from the finder on and around where geosatfinder says the bird is at but I cannot get quality. I wanted to use the strong transponder in 'The List' (12151) but do not have the option (I have 12152)...

    gillham, great idea! I have the smaller dish still hanging around. Think I will give those suggestions a try. Not sure I will get to that for a bit as I am dogged with soccer this weekend and I hit the road on Monday and head south toward Oregon. I am hoping to lock onto another sat today...

    So I am still just a bit confused: I assume the Blind scan checks all the possible transponders for any channels. Then I select the FTA channels to watch. I see that some have better quality than others. This I presume is because of the Blind scan. If I only wanted a particular transponder, I...

    Wow...a genius? I moved the dish 'Sloooowwwwwlleeee' to the west (figuring must be in 119). Got a quality beep. Is only 47-48. I do not see any indication of a satellite in the upper right corner. Is that normal?

    Skew is +.06. Good point. I dont have a good way of setting skew. Tried ajusting with sat finder meter (cheapy) but did not see difference.

    Made the changes as you suggest and removed the DisEqc switch and routed to L directly. Tried setting DisEqc to 'Off'. No change.

    When you say probably pointing to 119, you mean I do not have the dish pointed to where I think its pointed (i.e. 123 w)? Here are my dish settings: Sat Galaxy 10R LNB Freq: On LNB Type: Universal LNB Freq: 9750/10600 Transponder: 11805 (from the List) 22khz: Auto Search option: All...
