Hughesnet LNBF Setttings

[savoy9020]

I have been unable to get anything off my old Hughesnet dish and Coolsat 6000.

If I hook it up to a old DN and they circular lnbf, and can find 110, 119, and their other birds with no trouble.

What settings Single/Universal, frequency etc do I use for these old heavy as crap LNBF's.. I am using them with the Hughesnet dish they came wth...

update: Got signal on my P* dish with it's LNB from G18, only when I turned on LNB power.
I thought it had to be off, as it was skewing the signal strength. Are the settings simliar for the P* LNB and the Hughesnet? I was going to try the Hughes with these settings later tonight.

Single or Standard
10750 local oscillator
LNB power on
pick a satellite with a strong signal (see TheList for strong transponders and set receiver accordingly) or maybe WhiteSprings
set the LNB (or maybe the dish) skew (see TheList for aiming info)

Sounds like you know all the basics, so I'm sure you'll find something with ease.

Anole, thanks for the hints.. I hit 11805 H (from Ice's strong list) on the P*,
so with power applied, and that freq, I should be golden on the Hughes..

Thanks for the reply.

If you are meaning those satellite internet dishes, you can take off that transmitter from the lnb arm, lose a lot of that extra weight. I had one of the white ones, removed all that extra stuff and it lost 10lbs I think lol. Just tape up the hole from the waveguide from the transmitter with some black tape or glue a piece of plastic cut to fit the hole, silicone around it to keep it dry.
