What transponder did you have 110 set to? Try 11 & 12 if you didn't already.

With a DP Twin, this next idea shouldn't make a difference, but just for kicks, try hooking the receiver to the other connection on the lnbf and see if anything changes.

You did take the dp34 out of the loop for now right?

OK - 119 is now 119, and hefty! Per your post #14, we know the 110 eye is OK.

Next is to check the skew. If the pole mount isn't perfectly plumb, the skew setting will be off, as will be the elevation.

So, if you had to use a much different elevation number than called for, your mount is off-kilter, which means you'll have to jack things around to get 110.

Grab a level and check it out.

Skew on a D500 takes care of the difference in elevation between 110 & 119. A skew value greater than 90 means the 119 eye is higher (the bird is lower in the sky), less than 90 is 110 eye is higher than the 119 one.

In any event, by now, you should be getting a feel for things. ;)

So, visualize where that eye is looking before you mess around getting 110. Then once you find 110, see what happened to the 119 eye, and adjust skew and elevation as necessary. It's more of an art than rocket science at this point. :)

Start over. Make sure you have the skew where it is supposed to be and have not tweaked it.. Elevation is where it is supposed to be and not tweaked more than a degree or two and the mast is plumb. If not, you'll never pull in two. If so, you should be able to pull both in with just a elevation tweak and nothing more. Once pulled in you can peak with a touch to elevation.
If all of that was followed,and still no signal, it is a bad lnb.

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
