RFD TV is on 103 so you are off by 4 degrees

Networks are on 99W

thanks iceburg i'll run out and change it. this is the only day this week with no rain

 

[cpenni]

Thanks guys i got the locals. does it swap between H and V by its self i see the 22Khz under the LMB menu its set to off.

 

[Mr Tony]

yes it will switch between H & V via the receiver. The 22k is only for KU

to verify if you have signal on V polarity try this transponder
3820
V
26000

 

[cpenni]

no i can't get those well no picture just sound.

 

[DiscoLoveGrapes]

Unless you have a 4:2:2 capable receiver you'll only get sound -- so you're fine on that -- just make sure the quality of the signal is good.

 

[cpenni]

shouldn't i get a couple of V channels that i could check to make sure everything is working? my goal is to add a actuator an get Ku also. Thanks

What matters is that you are able to Lock Horizontal and Vertical Transponders, viewing in not required.

 

[Mr Tony]

correct Lak7

I think everything on V either is HD or 4:2:2 or DVB-S2

 

[cpenni]

Ok so if i can lock on to V channels it is switching. yes i can see HD and the 4:2:2 channels. Thanks

 

[Mr Tony]

correct. If you get good signal quality on the Vertical channels then its switching.

If you can see any picture depends on equipment (HD or 4:2:2 capable)

i have a digisat meter and installed it in line and watched the voltage i see how it works now. from reading the forums i figured out to set Ku signal i turn the LNB or move it closer or further away. is this correct? i have learned a lot in the last week thanks for all the replys.
