I'll keep on trying via horizon then try elevation change after have tried and continue the process until I hit something, Hopefuly not my butt on the ground. This is going to take awhile but I'll post if something changes.

Try running a blindscan right where it is! If it doesn't pick up something, move it a tad, and run another blindscan, etc, etc.

IF you catch something, it may be on another sat. Don't move a thing at that point, and let us know what it appears to be. We may be able to track it down, and then know where the dish is pointing.

The last pic of your settings still showed universal as your lnb. Needs to be standard 10750 as FTA4PA mentioned.

 

[rimichael]

One says universal and the other does not as in pics? Are you saying I should have on the one named universal??

 

[SDA_FL_USA]

ok gt media shows 9750-10750 so that should be right then.

 

[rimichael]

here is both.

 

[rimichael]

OK.

 

[primestar31]

here is both.

LNB setting now looks correct, however, change to this transponder and settings as Brian said upthread:

12060 H DVB-S 22000 3/4 ​

This is the process so I will move dish and repeat till I hit one.

Change Polarization from AUTO to H (Horizontal). Move the dish slightly East or West, and try to get the QUALITY line to get something on it for 12060. With no QUALITY, you aren't getting anything.

Or just keep Blind scanning, then move a hair, etc. After each move, wait at least 20 seconds or so. It needs time to decode, if it hits anything.

 

[rimichael]

ok will do

 

[rimichael]

Getting ready to start climbing up again. Let you know what's going on guy's.
