Hi Iceberg,
I need your help
.
I am a FTA newbie, I bought this 2600a a couple days ago and I have set it up, but I could not get any programs. My main idea is to get the 2 CCTV channels on G3C, so I setup my dish to "point" to that sat.
When I do the channel search, I found out there are only 4 tp' pre-programmed in 2600a, and I am not sure the data for these tps are correct or not, since they differ than the data from lyngsat 's g3c page
The lyngsat site shows G3C has more than 4 tps, and most importantly the CCTV is 11780 H, but 2600a shows tp4 is 3720.
I changed the settings for tp4 to 11780, 20760 and Hor, but could not get any channels, changed the settings back, no channels.
I know, my dish may not be setup correctly to point to the G3C sat.
Then I decided to point to T5, after about a hour of struggling, I got 4 channels from T5's tp 9, but they are all for fee channels, so I could not watch them to confirm that receiver is working.
I am wondering if this receriver has problems, since I can only receive 4 channels from T5, and the settings for these 4 channels are not listed in lyngsat's ia5 page.
My questions are:
1. do you have to manually enter data, such as tp, Freq and etc. in order to receive programs? in other words, are the factory settings good enough?
2. the LNBF comes with the receiver is a KW-21 model, it has two numbers printed on it, 11.7 and 12.75, and a LO of 10.7. So I chose Normal as the LNBF type, and entered 11700 and 12750 to the two freq numbers in the Setup screen, is this correct? Where did you enter the LO frequency? I could not find a place to enter this number. BTW, what does LO stands for?
3. The fact that I can only receive 4 channels from T5 bothers me, because if I can not get none, then I know I did not point the dish correctly, but since I can receive some, but not all... and my LNBF was skew'ed about 13.3 degree clock wise (look facing the dish). Anything I missed?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but I really appreciate it if you could take the time answering them and shed some insights in setting this things up!
Thans!
