<div class="bbWrapper">Scott,<br />
I'm getting 11880 and 12000 fine in Michigan. Nothing on 11840, though, but I believe they all have the same programming.<br />
One thing you should note,<br />
DVB-S2 8psk<br />
Pilot 0 is ON for the AZbox , Pilot 1 is OFF <br />
Figure that out, will you!<br />

<div class="bbWrapper">Nope nothing here. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /><br />

Something is strange with my setup. But I also have the BSC621 LNB back up on the dish, and that is going to be swapped out this week with the new C / KU LNB from WSI, which hopefully takes care of these issues.<br />
<br />
I can see the Pentagon channel fine, plus all of the other MS channels on this bird, but can not get a lock on the NBC's.<br />
<br />
Below are pictures of my settings on the AZBOX.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I have Q 75 on the 12142 TP you posted.<br />
Probably a little tweaking necessary.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I had to bump my 90cm dish around to get 11880 even though I already had 12000 locked. DVB-S2-8psk is touchy .<br />

So you're saying that a motorized dish wouldn't take care of the skew on AMC1 @ 103°W?</div>

</blockquote>Correct, it would not give you optimal signal for the Ku part of that Sat.<br />
C Band on AMC1 has a normal skew.<br />
On my motorized dish, with properly set skew, I get most, but not all Ku TPs on AMC1.</div>

a motorized KU dish will not take care of the skew for AMC1</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">I am glad I read this thread. Now I know why I can not get see 103w</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">some of the stronger TP's come in like Pentagon (12100) and the classical channel (12145) will come in (at a lower quality) but all the NBC feeds on there you have to have the skew properly done to get them</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">I think it has to do with location too....because down here in LA I get them on my 1m dish, my BV, and my Paraclipse with NO adjustments to skew at all, and the NBC's are actually stronger than the Pentagon channels are. Only on the rare feed on that sat have I had to adjust the skew, and I think that was only one time....<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused :confused:" data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></div>
<div class="bbWrapper">When I tune those S2 signals, the signal strength is good, but the quality sort of rolls between very good and zero, a slow roll, where it will stay good for several seconds, then go to zero for a few seconds, slowly up, slowly down, up, down. I can receive most of the regular DVB-S transponders with the non-adjustable lnbf, but these S2 signals are severely affected by the skew.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Yup I am able to get some quality reading on it now of 52% however like you it keeps going to 0 then comes back on again.<br />
<br />
I am so close.</div>

I think you're right, Stogie. I get the 12000 mux just fine using straight USALS, but have to bump the dish to bring in 18800 . The others are simply not there for me on a 90cm dish. There are a lot of touchy little factors on the DVB-S2 streams, not the mention the known screwy skew of this bird.<br />
