    question on installing at9?

    ok... I took both jumpers off and switched.... 110 stayed at 0 signal strength...and 199 went down to 0 signal strength on all transponders.... pins look in good shape... not sure what both going dark on the swap means... also can anyone tell me whether halfway between bonney lake and...

    question on installing at9?

    ok... I've watched the video twice....followed all the fine tuning steps... removed the rubber o-rings on the lnb connectors and made sure I heard/felt the little click when I pushed the connectors back on.... 101 is between 75 and 100 on various transponders 119 is between 60 and 80 on...

    question on installing at9?

    Ok little dish...I'll do those things in the morning... one question I still wish I could get a definitive answer on from someone is... what zone am I in? Will it matter if I'm in zone 2 but set on Zone 1? On the map it looks like I'm underneath the dividing line... I'm set at zone 1...

    question on installing at9?

    Hi Little Dish Guy, The Brand name is "WNC" ... The two black wires connecting the two LNB units are firmly connected top wire to top input, bottow wire to bottom input... I haven't gone through the fine tuning steps as I don't have anyone handy to help me by watching the tv... is that...

    question on installing at9?

    ok...I think I answered that last question myself... any odd numbered on the 101 will do...same with 119.... Since I don't see anything that directly brings in the other satellites I"m assuming that it is the process of fine tuning and peaking the combo of 101 and 119 and voila...the others are...

    question on installing at9?

    question on installing at9?

    Hi... I"m using the H20...So if I have 101 great and 119 average then 110 should be received by default? That explains why there was not any info on aiming/fine tuning any further than the first two...so that does seem weird.... I'm not sure where to go from here but I'm gonna go check the two...

    question on installing at9?

    Hi all... A little help on the AT9 if you can... I installed it, have 80-100 on most 101 transponders 50's and 60's on 119 and 0 on 110 and 99.... I am receiving DiscoveryHD and esp2HD but not the other several 70 range channels say searching for satellite... so I'm assuming that some of the...

    installing at9??

    Your right little dish guy...I didn't mention it...BUT I did sweep the azimuth on every iteration of change...I haven't messed with the elevation but found the suggestion to try 2 degree and 4 degree variations from where its at... I haven't tried an inline meter as I read that some folks were...

    installing at9??

    one all thing (to me anyway) why does the "test signal strength" screen show a different azimuth, elevation and tilt value in parenthesis after the instruction that its checking available transponders on the current satellite? It shows Azimuth:146, Elevation:34 and Tilt:101 which are not the...

    installing at9??

    one more thing... I just realized I screwed the bbc module in to the wall instead of the back of the receiver, which means it was in line backwards... haven't switched it yet..but about to.... just thought I'd throw that out there just to show my lack of attention at times... not sure if its the...

    Type of wire between at9 and H20

    Hi all, I've had D* for about 10 years and I installed the dish by attaching the dish to the existing house coax and an existing grounding stake. My question is... will the same standard coax work for the 5lnb at9 to the H20 receiver or will I be replacing the coax cable that exists...

    Hi, I'm in the seattle market and not sure if I should go ahead and order the currently offered h10 receiver and 3lnb dish and trust that I'll get a free upgrade when the local hd's are available later this year (the whole lease thing sound unclear on upgrades) or go ahead and order the h20...
