All those globecast ones show up as scrambled on mine. Unless they recently unscrambled.......I always deleted them after a scan on that sat.
Which LNB are you using? The first one you mentioned (long tube type) may be a band-stacked LNB, which will require different settings than the current standard Star Choice LNB.
When you think you have the dish near where it is suppose to be, do a blind scan to see if you are picking up any transponder. If not move the dish a bit, and re-scan. Once you get any transponder, use it to peak its signal quality, and then re-scan. Hopefully, you'll get enough information to determine if you are on the right satellite, or a nearby one.
Good luck!
the round tube one like a flashlight?
If so that is stacked and scan for the vertical Transponders. The H are at a higher frequency and are V poalrity....but the original V polarity ones are at the noraml spots

Iceberg, that stacked LNBF looks like it would fit nicely into the SatelliteAV four-degree double LNBF holder (it seems to be built like the bullet LNBF they recommend for that holder). The fact that it is stacked would also present some advantages. Are these available at a reasonable cost anywhere?

The flashlight LNB is called that for a reason...its huge. The holder for it is a 50mm holder so that LNB would probably take up the whole 4 degrees
no problems
On a stacked LNB the verticals are the normal as what is in the box or you'd see on Lyngsat. So try and aim the dish with one of the following transponders
12177 frequency
V polarity
23000 symbol rate
or
12146
V
22000
You didnt list what receiver you're working with but in the LNB setup it needs to be standard with a LNB LO of 10750 (NOT Universal). Also have you skewed the LNB properly? When working with a fixed dish you need to skew it for optimum signal. This depends on location. If you give us the general area of where you are we can give you the correct info for aiming the dish (elevation, azimuth & skew)

I like "beer can LNB" better, as a flashlight can be any size! Actually, mine are more the size of a "tall boy" beer can, but you get the general idea!
hi

I thought this was the beer can LNB?
Yes, that is what I have. Is not the one in your first photo (the single) the same size? Thought it was the same LNB, just "packaged" differently.
