C band digital channels on AMC 1

[intrepid]

We finally found sat AMC 1 103 degrees and are getting 75 quality but the channels are coming in vertically instead of horizontal. For instance 4005 is showing vertical instead of horizontal like it should be. This is on a c/ku band bsc 621-2 lnbf on a 7.5 ft dish running off a fortec ultra. There is a couple of other channels that are supposed to be horizontal polarity and I am not picking them up at all.. Any suggestions to correct this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

sounds like your skew is off by 90 degrees. Try and rotate the LNB 90 degrees and it should be right

yeah. helps for reference to put a little sharpie mark to know where you've been or where to go back to if it doesn't work. match the mark on the feedhorn clamp.
