110 Problems

[Hunter Mackenzie]

I am having ral bad issues getting 110 signal.....The only signal I am able to lock on is spotbeam 4 at 68....The rest of the transponders show nothing......Any one have any ideas as to what might be the problem..Thanks

It is likely a line of sight or a bad LNB issue. Do you have any trees or other objects that could be blocking the signal?

Usually easier to point dish using transponders which are not spot beams.

No branches that I can see......what are some of the signs of a LNB Going bad?

 

[Hunter Mackenzie]

I mean if I was getting a signal of 68-71 on a spotbeam would you get the others as well at that level?

Hunter,

No, a spotbeam only sends signals to a limited area. You might get a good signal from one for your area but might get a low signal (or zero signal) from other spotbeams.

A good transponder on the 110 satellite to use when aiming the dish is transponder 22. It is NOT a spotbeam.

Some signs of a LNB going bad is what you are getting, no signal or very low signal on some or all transponders. The same problem can be caused by the signal being blocked or by bad cables or switch. If you are getting a good signal from the 119 satellite you can rule out the tuner in the receiver.
