    8ft C band dish with CK1S combo LNB not getting KU

    Yea the first 2 were before I tried to get anything. I may have had the lnb cover just resting on it to see it assembled. I don't have a torpedo laser level yet I just used the inclinometer on my iPhone and it shows the elevation of the scaler to be the same as the reflector same with the lnb...

    8ft C band dish with CK1S combo LNB not getting KU

    Ill measure it once I get home this afternoon. So as long as I get it adjusted to 36 measuring 1/4 inside the lnb it should work. If it does end up being defective is there a way to replace just the ku section without replacing the entire thing. I thought of just getting the C1PLL and just doing...

I'm still pretty new at all this and most people who don't know what they're doing will blame the equipment before they admit to user error.

    8ft C band dish with CK1S combo LNB not getting KU

I'd give it 4 stars out of 5 because I had to assemble it with no instructions. It receives c band programming fine with my...
