Getting Ku with the BSC621 takes a little, make that a lot of patients.
Best place to start, for me at least, is to put the Dish on your True South Sat.
Then pop the BSC621's cap off and look from behind the Dish up into the Throat, mesh dish required.
You should see a 1/4" metal rod, it should be Horizontal to the Dish.
Then experiment with different f/d ratio and Focal Point settings.

yes with true south set bar inside horizontal coax connect 7-8 oclock do i change to 1-2 oclock then arrow on feed would be pointing straight down. its pointing up now

The C Band LNB Box would be on the 7-8 o'clock side.
Best to pick a Sat with both C and Ku, peak on a C Band TP, switch to Ku, select a know Hot TP and peak setup.
Which version do you have, Standard or Universal?
Did you set up the switch properly?
Are you using the Built-In switch or an external?

 

[caretaker]

universal using inside switch off for c on for ku thats works fine but still on c sats no ku sats ones with c& ku work fine whats the strongest ku sat i will try any ku just to get one

 

[caretaker]

forgot to mention not using plate read its for circular do i need it in for ku

 

[Lak7]

You do not need the plate for Ku.
In the receiver's setup menu, what do you have the LNB L.O. set to?

 

[caretaker]

sorry have standard all settings good eg. gc3 get cband & ku feeds rtn mostly so setting in rec. not problem its finding a ku sat only thats the problem get all ku on csats thinken 621 good for csats but not strong enough for ku sats

Be specific, which Sat are you trying to get?
