    Linkbox Blind scan shows same channels on multiple birds

    I started out with making sure my dish was not warped, and never got past that point. I used 6 strings, 1 from each wedge, and only 2 of them touched. Tomorrow i will go up with a friend and round it back out. Then we will verify the feed horn position. Right now it is sitting at the 38 hash...

    Linkbox Blind scan shows same channels on multiple birds

    did a scan again for every channel i could get from SES 1, with the specific TP parameters set. Wrote down the list of channels I got and checked on lyngsat. The channels are coming from Galaxy 17 91 W. I am trying to figure out why my STB and my sat finder both indicated that they were on the...

    Linkbox Blind scan shows same channels on multiple birds

    Titanium, Fixed cband with copper running from LNB to STB with no breaks or splitters. Cable run is about 40 feet. LNBF is a cheapo Ebay dual polarity C band one. The feed horn is ALOT smaller than the mounting ring that comes with it, and there is only 1 set screw to hold it, so I wrapped it in...

    Linkbox Blind scan shows same channels on multiple birds

    Glad I said something. I can aim a dish no problem, but after that i am lost. I spent 12 years aiming dishes for the Motorola state wide paging systems. I had a nice loud indicator when I had it right. With FTA, I am learning it is a different animal.....

The channel is H. I followed the directions for installing the LNB, except i never installed the Dielectric...

    Linkbox Blind scan shows same channels on multiple birds

    Ok, so I will stick with the C band dish I have for future testing. However, the issue is the same no matter what I do, and I wipe all the TP before doing a scan. Read that on this forum somewhere.. Is there a possibility that my Satlink is wrong, and I am pointed at 91 and not Galaxy 16? I...

    Linkbox Blind scan shows same channels on multiple birds

    I get the same results form all 3 boxes, and for the signals I am only after FTA. I kinda figured the Directv dishes would not work, but i do get those channels off of them. I think I am going to scan from just 91 W and see what i get

    Linkbox Blind scan shows same channels on multiple birds

    I have a c band dish pointed towards Galaxy 16, 99 W. At work we have 5 Ku band dishes for both Dish and Directv. I get above 90% signal strength for 12 birds from 1 fixed position, and can scan and get channels from all of the satellites on the C band. The problem is they all come up scrambled...
