Okay had a chance to try your suggestion and the good news news is that I was able to capture transponder 12084H in the skew H:0 V:90 the first time, but it was not repeatable when I Blind Scan it again the second time around. Here are the results: Drake: Ku Band DSR950: Skew: H:0 V:90 Results...

Great idea, yes that is the skew in the DSR905. I will try to change the H to 0 and the V to 90 and re-scan and get back to you here. Been tided up this week and will try it once I get some time this weekend.

The skew screen is from the DSR905 and the others are from the CW.

That is my next project if none of this doesn't works out. Take down the BUD and install a 36" Ku-Band motorized dish instead.

I do know it, the Drake receivers' passwords is the model number. So for Drake 1824 ESR it is "1824" and for 1724 ESR it is "1724" and so forth.

The screen is from the CW. I will try to see what is in the Drake's LNB settings. I guess the two LNBs is one for C-Band and the other for Ku-Band, not sure if that comes into play.

Another strange development. I decided to change the LNB setting in the DiSEqC CW to LNB2 and got over 80 transponders, is that even possible ? ...LoL I will try with re-scan on LNB2 at -45/45 and -90/90 and 0 tonight DSR905 LNB2: 90 Results: 80 Transponders/66 Channels

Here are the results with the skew at -45/40, -90/90 and 0: DSR905 LNB1: -45 Results: 8 Transponders/56 Channels DSR905 LNB1: 45 Results: 9 Transponders/46 Channels DSR905 LNB1: -90 Results: 12 Transponders/56 Channels DSR905 LNB1: 90 Results: 12 Transponders/66 Channels DSR905 LNB1...

I will remove the DSR905 from the equation after testing with it in. I know the LNB settings on the Drake in the Setup menu which is password locked.

The polarator/servo motor wires are connected to the DSR905 sidecar which is then T'ed back to the Drake's polarator terminals. The CW uses a DiSEqC which is then connected to the C and KU band LNB ports(used a splitter) on the back of the DSR905 which is then T'ed back to the Drake.

I hear the polarity motor moving at the dish as it doing the Blind Scan, plus it does lock onto transponders in both V and H or am I missing something ? What would have changed that the CW can't recieve now, would the firmware not recognize a certain transponder or satellite ? I just want to...

Ok, I was able to find the V skew adjustment in the DSR905 from -90 to 0 to +90 which was at -90 at T5 so I move it to 0 and did another Blind Scan and I got one or two different transponders, but still no 12084 V. So then I decided enter the 12084V/20760/3/4 in the T5 transponder list in the...

I think the Amiko Mini is out of the choices because it doesn't have any RF input/output. I know its a HD receiver with HDMI output, but my Drake reciever is like 15-20 feets away from my TV and I don't think running a HDMI cable that long would be advisable.

I will give it one more try with the Drake on Ku-band and then I will take the DSR905 out of the equation and connect the CW straight to the Drake. What would you recommend now as a FTA receiver ? These FTA receiver companies come and go and there is no firmware support for new birds in the sky.

I think I can change it in the Drake and DSR905, will check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the input !

Ok just tried changing LNB to standard (LO of 10750) and delete all the transponders/channels for T5 (97w) and Blind Scan. It got only 76 channels. I checked the the transponder list for T5 (97w) and it only lists 10 transponders: 11688H, 11697V, 11843H, 11843V, 12028H, 12028V, 12059H, 12059 V...

I don't see there is a "Standard" option, if I move it from "Universal" it starts giving a slew of numbers like 5150 etc... after each press. When I checked the transponder list on the T5 satellite it doesn't list the 12084 V 20760 3/4 so I added it manually and that didn't do anything as well...

C-Band LNB: Aspen Eagle, Range: 3.4-4.2GHz, Noise: 17Deg, Gain: 65dB Ku-Band LNB: Norsat 6605A GM-6921, NF: 0.5dB, Gain: 58dB Feedhorn: ADL DP3A

I will give that a try later day ! ;)

Here are some photos of the menu screen on my Captive Works Ultima:

How can I check how many transponders there are ? There is virtual button that says "Transponder" in the menu screen, but when I pushed on it nothing happens. I noticed when I went into the manual setup "Edit Transponder" I noticed that the frequency 12084 V SR 20760 FEC 3/4 was not on the list...

Ok, I think I found 97w two notches/clicks west of my preset T5. I get the SES mux, STN mux, but no CCTV mux :( I did a blind scan at least 4 times to be sure and the signal is coming in strong at quality at 85% and signal strength at 89%. Why can't I get a lock on the CCTV mux ?

Update: I'm stumped to as whats going on and can't confirm if I got the bird at 97w. The only thing I can be sure of is that G3 is correct so I used it as the reference point to try to find 97w. I no longer trust that the preset satellites have the correct name or positions and I will try to...

Yes the CCTV mux was on C-Band analog and then later on digital MPEG-4 KU-Band on T5 93w. I believe they also had it in MPEG-2 on G3 95w simultaneously as well.
