Can't get 110 sat

[jameszeesmith]

I got a disk 500 and dual dp plus digital lnbf. I'm running r-59 cable from port 1 on lnbf to a 301 receiver... simple setup. I only receive sat 119 on port 2. Port 1 says conn

Manual says to move dish 10 degrees East and try again. I tried but can't get no signal by moving dish 10 degrees. I can't seem to pickup anything but sat 119 at 214 azimuth for 63146.

I know that I should have 3 gh r-6 cable eventually but for my testing I just ran the r-59 through the window.

Also, what does x mean in the polarity column 1 and all in polarity column 2

Status line says: Only one satalite connected.

I can only get the upper channels on 119.

Thanks in advance guys, Jim Smith - St. Louis

Cover the 119 side of the lnb and see if you still have signal, if you do then you are 9 degrees too far and need to move it to the right.

 

[jameszeesmith]

When I cover the 119 side, I still have signal, When I cover the 110 I loose the signal?

You are hitting the 119 sat via the 110 lnb, raise angle slightly and move 9 degrees to the right when standing behind the dish.

CONN means it's connected but not receiving signal. Polarity "all" means you're getting both odd and even transponders for that particular sat above the all.

I would get the RG-6 for testing purposes as well.

I agree, I had a piece of RG59 in my system when i hooked it up and had signal problems. Changed it to RG6 and the signal was great

you said you are using a dual. i assume you mean twin? fatter lnb with two 'eyes'. is it used, those can go bad as well. though i still suspect its an aiming issue. as gary said, it may need to go west.
if you really ARE using a dual, you can't use it to pick up 119 and 110 at the same time.
if its dp plus, its definately a twin. is it possible that something (house, tree) is blocking the 110 signal? did you put the dish up yourself?

You won't know what the problem is for sure, until you REPLACE the inferior cable with RG6.

what is your dish's skew set for? if its set at 90 degrees its wrong
