What kind of LNBF is that? I don't recognize it, but if it is a Standard Linear LNBF, the LNB Frquency in the first picture should be 10750....? If the LNBF is a Universal LNBF, then the LNB Type in the first picture should be Universal, and that would change the LNB Frequency to 9.750/10.600, and change the 22KHz to AUTO... Hope this helps...!!
 
As far as I can see, the motor and dish alignment looks good for the Stab90. Is the dish facing your true south (~73W) when the motor is showing 0 degrees?
 
Nlbf

HI,
Thank you voom voom my lnbf is FTA-S1 Standard Linear Single.I try with 10750 but no changes a same message 0 satellite and 0 channel .
Please another question is how can i check my lnb if is working?
Thanks.

Mr.Arizona thank you too , actually i don't no how can i verify this information (true south (~73W) when the motor is showing 0 degrees?).
Please tell me what how?
Thank you.
 
There is no "test" of an LNB, besides connecting it to a known working setup.

The whole Motor setup only works if you set up to Your Trues South Sat first.
Is the Motor at Zero?
Also, it is easier if you can bring the Receiver and a small TV to the Dish.

Going by your Postal Code, Your True South Sat is Horizons 2 @ 74 west (may also be called SBS6, Galaxy 17 the names have changed a few times recently)

With the Motor at Zero:
Motor Latitude Angle: 45.4°
Dish elevation: 38° (the Dish Elevation markings are known to be Off + or - a few degs)Azimuth (magn.): 194.9° using Compass, due South, remember that the Compass will give a false reading if too close to the Dish.
If you don't have a compass, with the Motor at Zero, you can rotate the Motor and Dish as one to the Left and Right. Make sure you have a Live Transponder selected in the Setup Menu. See "The List" Tab at the top of the Web Page for a list of Satellites and Transponders. For Horz. 2 @ 74 west: ONN Channel TP: 11733

Have you gone here for help aiming:
Satellite Look Angles Satellite Heading Calculator Azimuth Elevation Skew Tilt LNBF Latitude and Longitude values
Enter your Postal Code or address in the Location, then select Your Motor from the Sat. List and Click "GO"


After panning Left / Right and you don't get any Quality reading, try raising / lowering the Dish Elevation 1 deg and repeat panning(do not adjust the Motor setting)
