[QUOTE="cyberham, post: 4648835, member: 155509"] If you did the installation as carefully as you took the photos, I'll bet it's done well. Aim for 99W. The 4040 H 26400 transponder is the easiest to receive with a small C-band dish. It's strong enough that I can remove the scalar and adjust only the LNBF for strongest signal. I then re-install the scalar and adjust it for strongest signal. The scalar will boost received signal. The small dish has a wide beamwidth (2+ degrees). You don't need to aim the dish in azimuth so precisely for C-band in this case. Try different elevations since with a motor that's where you could have some error assuming all settings in the receiver are correct. Added: If you're getting frustrated and can't find any signals at all, mark all settings so you can return everything later. Then loosen elevation adjustment only and physically pan the dish assembly up and down very slightly. I bet you can then find 99W if azimuth is roughly correct. By the way, I've only ever received 2 transponders from 113W ever at different times with a small C-band dish, so don't spend too much effort trying to receive that satellite until you know everything is lined up correctly.
