I am very new at this, I have a rotor sat hh90, I have my Satellite at 97.0W IA-5, Freq 11.749, LNb Power ON, LNB Type Universal, LNB Freq 9.75/10.60, DISEqC Motor 1.2....My Level is reading 80%, but the Quality won't go above 7%. Can someone help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
 
need more info

receiver type
LNB type
location (so we can give you the right angles to aim for IA5)
 
I have coolsat 5k platinum,ultrasat model us-200l LNB, im located in texas, also got latitude/longitude info from Stab website. They told me that my lat was 30.5, long was 97.7 and elevation was 40.0. The website that I purchased receiver from told me that my evelation was 54.4. I've tried both but my quality never changes. My zip code is 78664

The numbers PSB put above are for a FIXED dish, not motorized :)

I would remove the motor and try and get your true south without the motor.

Is there any numbers on the LNB like a LNB LO? (10750 or 9750/10600)?
 
Can u explain how the setup works, under Dish Setting, is there anything special I need to do, as well as in the Motorized Setting? Do I just setting my dish at 30N and 97W with 40.1 elevation, because I've done that and still there's only 7% Quality. At this point I'm at a lose on what to do.
 
If it says 10750 for the L.O. its a STANDARD LNBF!

I would let us know what it actually says ON THE LNBF!

In a later post you said:

the box states it LO:10.75GHz

As PSB said, the LNB type should be STANDARD, not Universal. Change it and the LNB freq should be 10750.
