    trouble finding signal quality

    well....still trouble. I've tried lowering the angle, and realized it was a big mistake for me to have the dish too high. I've also learned about polarization, and tilted the lnb for each satellite I've tried aiming at. No luck. My chirping ultrasat 950-2400mhz seems to find the satellite...

    trouble finding signal quality

    Just a few days ago I got a shiny new Pansat 3500sd in the mail, along with a 100cm dish, and a standard digital lnbf. I'm pretty sure I have the setup ok, as I aligned it to a few different sats (echostar 3, galaxy 11, ect.) that I could get in my area, and even hooked up the signal finder and...
