What do I need to do to get the lnb to get the skew point? Does the bottom of the lnb need to come down more?
I thought it was mentioned earlier to be +25.1 degrees?
About right for Tampa on G19.
Hahaha yeah I can't, I move it and run inside over and over, alllllll day I been doing this... since yesterday
I noticed that too. Just with the LNBF hooked up you should see something, maybe like 5 %. That is a concern.
Much easier to:Hahaha yeah I can't, I move it and run inside over and over, alllllll day I been doing this... since yesterday
Bring the tv to the dish.
Hook the LNBF directly to the receiver. (You may see signal then, if you do then this will show that you may have an issue with the existing wiring from the dish to the receiver in the house)
No switches or splitters anywhere in the line?
I have a tiny tiny TV a friend was getting ready to throw out. I love that thing for aiming out at the dish.
Its near impossible to aim for me without the TV at the dish. On a good day I can get aimed in about 5 minutes, then another 10 minutes of fine tuning, done.
Hahaha, wish I had one! Yeah I got a splitter connecting the LNBF to the wire ran inside to the receiver
Hahaha I'm going to try it with a laptop that has a hdmi port, that should work right? Yeah the cable running inside is too short, I can try connecting the wires with a 1 to 1 connector? While I wait for my friend to get here with the laptop
Connector my work for now but in the long run will introduce DB loss and a place for corrosion to set in.
The laptop's HDMI connector is to output video to a TV, I don't think it will work as a video input.
A nice little Android App that I use is Satellite AR. It shows the satellite position against a starmap. Download the App and type Galaxy 19 in the search field. Once it finds it, select it. Once you see the starmap there will be an arrow on the screen pointing to the satellite position. Rotate and elevate the phone in that direction. Once you've got the graphic of the satellite centered up in your screen, note the rotation and elevation angle of the phone. That's where your dish should be pointed. Make sure GPS is enabled on your phone. This will get you in the ballpark. You'll have to slowly adjust the dish from there. BTW ... Radio Shack makes a nice little signal strength meter. G19 has strong transponders (at least here on the West Coast). Ku Dishes aren't easy to adjust the first time around ... also the complication of not having G19 set up in the receiver isn't helping. Good Luck!
