Please be very careful and verify your frequencies.
A slip of a digit and you're way out in left field.

Also, if I had a nickel for everyone who wondered if they had a bad LNB, and paid a dollar to everyone who DID, I'd be a rich reptile. -

LNB is ok, It was a bad RG6 cable i think, I changed it out going to LNB and now I am getting signals I have AMC4 at 80/80 and Galaxy25 80/70. Do i have to punch in frequencies every time? i want to change sats? when i go back in forth the default freq is in there?I adjusted Dish so that it is dead on those 2 sats and i figure then when reciever moves it to other sats they should be dead on also, but those are the only 2 i can get, perhaps the freq are wrong but i am taking them from list on here?

It was a bad RG6 cable

Some advice on best coaxial cable to use:

• RG6 cable
• 18AWG Solid Copper Center Conduction
• Dual Shielded 60% bare Aluminum braid,
• 100% aluminum foil shield
• PVC jacket & Foamed Polyethylene
• Sweep tested 3GHz.
• Do not make any sharp bends. No bends or loops less than 20x diameter of cable.
• Don't use too many splitters or cuts between LNBF and receiver.
  
• Use a 2 or 3 blade cable stripper to strip the ends before putting connectors
  
• Use the best compression connectors (PPC EX6XL are recommended)
• Use a compression tool to install the connectors. Don't rely on cheap or inappropriate tool.

I am getting signals I have AMC4 at 80/80 and Galaxy25 80/70.

That is what I get. When i did an "auto" scan on g25, it found ~186 channels.
