    Update: I had originally set lnbf to what old lnb was set to. After using formula from link mmewrench posted, lnbf is dead on. I have tuned all satellites from 78w- 139w, except 83w. W/ satellites I have tuned picking up ALL FTA channels on 87w-97w listed on Lyngsat. (Haven't checked lower...

    BAM BABY!!!!!! Gentelmen, I have OFFICIALLY joined the FTA world :) Finally got new lnb hooked up after a couple days of bad weather. First bird I tried was 91W. All channels tuned. CW had 89% Quality. Haven't tried to optimize yet. But I'm happier than a kid at christmas right now! A HUGE...

    Thanks guys. Will see if I have enough daylight when I get home to hook new lnbf up. Forgot to mention that I did string test over the weekend and it passed.

    Received new cband only lnbf today, BSC421. You guessed it, I have a few questions. Im assuming the numbers on the side are to adjust focal, and numbers on top are for skew? But what is the small rectangle thing in the plastice bag for? And should the focal&skew be set somewhere close to where...

    @ Lak7: Lnb is pulling in horizontal and vertical frequencies regardless of polarity setting. I have adjusted polarities to many different settings. 60 & -30 seem to be the constant on any sat. This is not the lnb I ordered to start out w/, so I wasn't happy w/ it anyway. (Not from SatelliteAV...

    Probe is moving, already checked that. Haven't tried string test, will this weekend. Channels at -30 polarity are as follows: 4177/H/3000; 4113/H/31249; 4153/H&V/30000; 4073/H&V/30000. All are scrambled except Mediaset & 4177. Channels at 60 polarity: 4176/H&V/30000; 4097/H&V/31249; all...

    I have picked up random channels off many satellites. But many i cannot confirm which satellite, as they are not listed on Lyngsat. The only ones I can confirm are as follows. 87W:TP23, which isn't picking up anymore. 107W:TP10B. 121W.TP21. And the main satellite I want, 91W, I'm almost positive...

    Thanks for all the comments. Found splitter. But I am still not pulling in anything that I wasn't before.

    Thanks beavs. You guys are beyond freaking awesome! And yes Brian, this is a huge pain in my rear controlling polarity like this. Will probably soon be looking into switching to a lnb/feedhorn combo. Wanted to convince the wife it would actually work before putting more $ into it tho. She said...

    Analog connects to power pass side, Microhd to the other, coax from satellite to single connection on top?

    Rookie

    Lnb is currently being powered through microhd. I have tried numerous blind scans at different polarities on each satellite. Adjusting about 10degrees each time. I've had the most luck around 60 and -30 degrees. I have a splitter that goes up to 2400mhz. Will that suffice? And looking at the...

    For any1 who doesn't already know, Brian at SatellitAV, is THE MAN! MicroHD was power cycling. Called Brian and he walked me through exactly what to do. Had a little trouble updating via TTL header, as I am not a computer whiz. But looking back, it wasn't really all that difficult. Glad I bought...

    Thank you for spending so much time explaining all this. This is why I bought American! One more question for now. According to my analog receiver the mid way point of my motor is between W1 east, and Anik E1 west. W/ Spacenet4, Galaxy4 being east of W1. & Anik E2, Telstar3 being west of E1...

    When u say skew. Do u mean that the probe inside feedhorn needs to be pointed at satellite? And the probe is rotated when im controlling polarity?

    Controlling polarity through analog receiver. Thanks for input, very detailed on what to do. Unfortunately I didn't get any results. That Transponder wasn't pre programmed at 99.2w but I went in and added it. Still no results. Adjusted east and west, north and south. Nothing. When setting...

    Tried adjusting dish up and down a small amount at a time. I did notice a difference in signal strength, but it still didn't pick up any new channels. (Still at 99w) the Fox feed only comes in a couple times a day, and it doesn't even show up on the Lyngsat chart. It was also trying to pull in a...

    Thanks. Was going to reconnect analog receiver when I came home, but thought I would try microhd again. Searched 99.2w, this time I got a good signal on Judge Alex, so I'm guessing Fox. After that went off, feed went black. 90% & 70%. Showed up as four different channels tho. Came up on menu as...

    Hooked up MicroHD. The only reference I have of where the dish is aimed, are the analog channels I was picking up on old receiver. So I decided to try 99w, Shepperds Channel. Followed instructions, did a blind scan. It was showing 45% signal, which according to book means I have a working lnb...

    Yes they are! After searching web trying to figure out what a scalar ring was. I started wondering if that's what u had in mind after my previous post. And ur always asking for pics so thats the first thing i thought of! But yea I decided to keep it c band only. Have that on tomorrow, then...

    This actually isn't the lnb I ordered. But its the same price as other. Haven't had a chance to call the company and let them know. But was planning on prob jus keeping it, if it worked. Had about the same specs. Sooo, is it gonna work?

    What do u mean by scalar? This is all that was in the box, and a rubber looking gasket.
