I finally got my FTA setup running - Thanks to all that helped!!!

Now I have some issues when I add a few TPs on Amc4 - I want more locals and there are a few NBCs on :

3860 H
tp 8
26670

I enter the 3860 and the 26670 in but I get no TP Signal or Quality - In fact, any TP I enter with that small of a number never works (Pansat 2500a) - Any ideas????

Thanks

Do you have a C-band dish?
Those numbers are for C-band; if you have a Ku setup they won't work.

4 digits for C-band

5 digits for KU-band
