Thank you Jim and Iceberg for the photos! I'm gonna try to experiement with each setup and see what I can pull. 103 is my main target and it seems like it must be an easy enough mod to get that bird. Once again thanks for taking the time to take the photo and upload it!

Good pointers RADAR! I specially like #13! It seems like when something just does not want to happen it simply won't. I spent 2-3 days out there for hours with no luck. The last day though it only took me about 20 minutes before I had it locked, and that includes the time to hit 103 and do two...

Dude! If you can show pictures of your setup it would be highly appreciated! I assume the 103 LNB goes to the left of 97? How's your signal with a 30"? I don't think I could even pick it up with that small a dish up here. With my 36" I'm struggling to pull 76 in the most powerful TPs with...

:D Thanks, it's actually my ma who enjoys the Persian dramas. I rarely watch any TV other than stuff I play on my WDTV.

Thanks Iceberg, I've used a lot of the resources you've provided on this fantastic site.

Thank you sir. Thank you. I don't think after the traumatizing experience with this bird I will go even near the dish for a while. I do wanna set another one up in the summer to pull 103W mainly for the Pentagon channel (former USAF officer :)) and 125W for all the PBS stuff.

Absolutely right! Analogues were so much easier, I used to set them up when I was around 16 with relative ease and only by using a few landmarks (we lived in a high rise with a huge balcony). Digital signals are much more difficult and a meter does help, so does a good receiver that can lock and...

You're right on chief! 12177 gives me only about 46 quality and I have a few TPs that don't even lock on to the signal, probably inactive I guess. 11836 is I think the strongest TP for me as well and I'm getting S: 76 Q: 78 which is quiet passable. I think I could have peaked it by at least...

Success! Folks I finally picked 97W up! This bird has an extremely narrow margin for errors. I picked up 103W with relative ease and tried to backtrack from there moving the dish to the left just a smidge. The instant I noticed the signal jump up by 1 or 2 I started moving slightly up and...

You can have a look HERE. It tells you at a glance what is on which sat.

Thanks, that's actually a great idea! I will try to hit 103 then 93 and put 8 marks between them. I wish I had thought of this today before I closed up shop and took everything back to garage (for the third time!)

Yup that's what I've set my transponder to! I do have a small TV next to the dish to simplify things. I've confirmed now that I did hit 91W (based on LETN, FTEN, HSTN and LTCN) and 99W (based on AGHAPY) so it seems like I was very close to the elusive 97 and just passed it. I think tomorrow I...

Thank you. I think now that I know Pentagon channel was on 103 I can take that as my reference point and start blind scanning while I move the dish slightly. I just wish my SV-3000 would make it a little bit easier on me. Funny thing is I tried my Nfusion Nova and I have the same dreaded...

Thanks! I overlooked that little detail. So now at least I have two confirmed points of reference to go by. I am positive I've hit 97 but probably passed it because the signal coming off of it is probably aroung 70-71 and the fact my receiver is showing a constant 69-70 signal at all times (when...

Yes I've set it as STANDARD and it seems like that's what it should be based on my LNB specs: Freq: 11.7 ~ 12.2 GHz N/F: 0.3 dB L.O.: 10.75 GHz I've also checked the LNB mounting and the skew with a little help from Sadoun's website where it describes them with photos.

Hello folks, I too am having a tough time getting this bird. I've moved to a different house and am now trying to set 97 up. Here is the nitty gritty: SV-3000 reciever (tested, worked with 97 before) Zimwell Standard linear LNB 36" Fortec dish (brand new) All settings confirmed, Factory reset...
