    Set-up frustration

    I tried that yesterday and today. When I fine tune that lnb for ku, then I seem to lose my c-band reception. I never had any luck with g25 on either band though. I would have thought this dish would of been easier to set-up....how wrong was I !!! Has anybody had good luck with that lnb...

    Set-up frustration

    I have been at it since 7:30 am and still no luck (on g25 anyway). I did manage to get 93 and 79 with very low signal however. I have read that some mesh dishes pass to much signal for ku...could this be possible? (mine is 7' with 1/8 inch mesh). I have adjusted the lnb every way you could...

    Set-up frustration

    It does have the little triangle (arrow) on it but it does not line up with the flat side.

    Set-up frustration

    Does the high setting make a difference? I also read on sadoun forum that this lnb needs to be oriented with the flat side at 4 o'clock when the dish is pointed at my south bird, Is that good info? I thought it had to be turned to get the best signal. Thanks for the help

    Set-up frustration

    I think I have the correct lnb type (universal), it is the only universal choice I have. I am not sure of the high and low settings and what they mean. Here are the specs of the Ku side of the lnb: Input 10.7-12.75ghz Output 950-1950 mhz low band 1100-2150 mhz high band LO 9.75 ghz...

    Set-up frustration

    Thanks for taking the time to read all of this. No, it was very calm here today and I was getting the jumping with my hands off the dish...no dish movement at all. I read on one of the threads here that g25 is hard to hit..true or false? I also want to mention about the condition of the dish...

    Set-up frustration

    Thanks for the responses! I have literally been fooling with this thing all day and at this point I am wondering, does anybody know the scrap value of it? LOL . I tried disconnecting the jumper and hooked up directly to the ku fitting of the lnb...same thing...very sporadic signal quality...

    Set-up frustration

    I think I am only getting good c signal, when I switch to port 2 I get zilch. I have spent hours playing with the focus, aim, etc and get very sporadic quality. The signal on c-band is in the 80's however. With the viewsat receiver, it seems to change the settings when satellites are...

    Set-up frustration

    I was recently given a 7' mesh dish so I thought I would give this a try. My goal was to get g25 or other true fta birds. I am using a viewsat xtreme for a receiver and the lnb I installed on the dish is a brand new bsc 621-2 for ku or c-band. I was successful in getting galaxy 11c and galaxy...
