Let me clarify. Im not tilting lnbf, I made the bracket to adjust up and down to find center. The only reference I have to where the old feedhorn was located is the pdf I downloaded that shows how to install original hughes equipment. Every time I adjust I make sure lnbf is parallel w/ support...

@Anole: universal, 10.600, that's the setting the lnb called for. @gpflepsen: I set azimuth & elevation for 97w, I hadn't tried true south tho. That's the same pdf I was trying to scale off of for lnb setting. Didn't have any luck, that's when I came up with the unistrut bracket so I could...

I made a bracket out of unistrut so I would be able to adjust lnb up and down to find center instead of guessing. I am about to the point where I am starting to believe the lnb isn't working. I have adjusted up&down, in&out, different declinations, skews. Nothing. Even I weren't aimed perfectly...

Lol yea that's kinda what I was thinking, but that is the only thing I did different was change the LO and it pulled in sound. Also tuned 125w today on 11250 LO, and it worked fine (horizontals). My son enjoyed the cartoons on PBS :)

Thanks all. Just an update. Had to set my LO to 11250 and I got sound on 97w. Still only pulling in horizontal tho. Will have to work on making that new bracket.

How do I go about mating lnb to existing feedhorn? The good thind here is, I can be my own machinist :). I am a welder/pipefitter by trade, so I have access to the tools to make my anything I need ;).

Tuned 97w but no sound :(. Tuned 3 other sats and I had sound on all of them, but not on 97. Quality at 75% @ FatAir. I believe you are correct about it being single polarity tho. Its showing TPs being vertical, but they are the same #s as the horizontal #s. Would a normal FTA lnb work at the...

Well its works. Don't think I am aligned properly for 97w tho. Hit tv and radio channels. Not sure which sat. Was only getting horizontal. Adjusted skew and got vertical. Tv is: 12121/H/30000. Radio: 12121/H/30000, 11705/H/3649. It listed same TP numbers for vertical.

Sorry about the pictures. Went on the mobile site this time and tried loading. Thanks.

I have been eyeing a dish on our local pharmacy for about a month. Went yesterday and asked about it, got in touch w/ owner today. They let me have it for free :) ,providing I took away the base and the concrete block holding it down. No problem there! Although I didn't know until I went on the...

@ Anole: it was my understanding that dish skew had to be set according to your location. Does it work better leaving it at zero? @FatAir: tried scaling picture(I am using a smart phone) the best I could come up w/ the lnbf needed to be raised about 7/8 of an inch. I am standing in front of...

Thanks FatAir. Unfortunately I don't have the original lnbf. Hate to say it but original owner threw it away! :( I am using Ku lnbf Avenger PLL321S-2. I found center of dish, then held a 2foot level on that and got it parallel w/mast. Measured up from mast to bottom of level to find center from...

I am trying to set up a Hughes dish for 97w. From the research I have done, the model I have, AN8 074P, was intended for Ka. My question is, if I use the original lnb mounting mast, would the offset be the same for a Ku lnb? Using Avenger PLL321S-2 Ku lnb. I have set declination and skew...

As always. Great explanation! Thanks for comments. And yea, $20 isn't gonna break me. And I'll already have lnbf in case I run across a better dish later. Plus I can mess w/ lining up dish to different satellites. Thanks again. P.S. if anyone else has any other links or suggestions on how to...

Anole, when u say matching feedhorn, are you referring to a hughesnet feedhorn that would have came w/the dish? I remember sum1 else suggesting that in a previous thread. What sparked my interest is seeing a post by Iceberg on his dish farm where he had a wide Primestar hooked up w/newer lnbs...

Pica as requested.

Thanks FatAir. Helpful links. Looks like its worth trying. Going to be in addition to c band update that you have posted on in cband discussion. So I should have plenty of time to play w/ and adjust it to different sats that BUD will not turn to. Dish does not have HughesNet Lnb still attached...

Ran across a newer HughesNet dish. Was wondering if it would work for FTA. Roughly 26x36. If so, how does new lnbf hook up? Been looking around forum but couldn't find clear answer. Wanted to order new lnbf when I ordered new equipment for c band to try and save on shipping.
