My Zenith sat 78W is in the trees and I cant get to it.
So I checked out all C band birds from 87W to 101W manually.

101w has H&I, Movies! and Decades, so I locked it down here.

Did not and probably won't put the motor on this one, I will save it for the 10 footer.
The focal length and FD set inside the house was dead on, I messed with it and ended up back where I set it. Thanks mc6809e for the advice on this. Glad I drilled new holes in the arms inside!
Did have to tweak the skew since I set it to 0, thinking I was going to motorize it.
Next weekend I will so how much further west I can go on the eastern side of my property,
probably 105W.

Here are a few pics:

I am under the impression that the Q on a Micro HD only goes up to 75?
I have never seen a Q higher than that on Ku or C.

I get MeTV OTA, but is MeTV and MeTV2 still on 101W?
(Could not get a peep out of that transponder 3973 V 5923).

You do know that depending on your location, and how well tweaked the focal point and such is, you MIGHT be able to aim in-between 99w and 101w and get BOTH sats at the same time? At least the particular transponders that you might like. 99w also has a lot to offer, including ThisTv and the Lesea mux.

Know I have seen up to 85Q on C-band with a micro HD, and mid to upper-70s I think on Ku.

I was just wondering because I have a cheap Chinese dvb-s tuner that will lock just about every channel on 97W Ku at 99%Q. On the Micro HD same channels are 75% Q.

Glad to see you've got her working! Both MeTVs still there (showing as 3974 V 5924 on my Amiko Mini HD SE).

Thanks, I will maybe retry for those next weekend.

I am getting 99W channels when pointed to 101W, although weak. Watching the 99W Oscar feed!
I definitely want 99W also.

It looks like they have two left in stock. For the price, I am pretty happy with this dish.
