4dtv and 31" KU Dish

[jself1982]

Got my 31" setup for G4 for HITS channels, went out to tinker, and replaced the LNB with the Sadoun 0.4 Universal LNB, in the meantime messed the dish alignment up, now I can't get G4 anymore...is it because I'm not lined up correct or is it the LNB? Worked fine with the Invacom but I put it on my new 36" KU dish. But the 31" worked fine before....its now a fixed dish for G4, can someone give me my correct deg/elev/skew for zip code 29642?

Did you remember to change the L.O. frequency in your DVB receiver. Ooooops, you mentioned 4dtv in your title. I'm not sure, but I think the 4dtv will not work with a Universal lnb. I'm not speaking from experience, but I think I read it somewhere. Hopefully I'm wrong!!!!

You can work it out from this page...

I came up with:
Elevation 45.7
Azimuth 207.3
Skew 22.1, positive skew - turn lnbf counter-clockwise

Thanks Al, you know if the Universal LNB will work with the 4dtv?

I don't know for sure if it will or not. But, I'm pretty certain I've read somewhere, that it won't. Let's hope I'm wrong. So, give it a shot and find out! And let me know?

What is the LO settings for Universal LNB's on the Fortec Mercury II again, I don't remember, its been a while.

No, universal will not work with 4DTV.

For FTA the LO will be 9750 and 10600.
