Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes here. I think I'm going to like this place. The install of my motorized ku system is coming along pretty well. I have, however, run into an issue, and I am not sure what exactly the problem is or how to correct it.
The symptoms are this: I am now able scan in less than half of the channels from 97w on my OS Mio. Prior to putting the dish on the motorized mount, I had it locked down on 97w and had close to 200 channels scanned in. I can hook up my V8 satellite finder, and it scanned in 198 channels. I have taken the info from the finder and tried to scan in specific channels to the OS Mio and it does not find them. I don't think it is even catching all the transponders.
My setup is this: 90 cm dish with a dual output lnbf. One output has a coax going directly to the house. The other output has a coax going into a Stab HH90, with a coax going from the motor to the house. The coax coming from the motor goes upstairs to the living room. The coax coming directly from the lnbf comes into the basement as I've not decided which other room I wan to have access to the dish.
I have an Edision OS Mio in the living room connected to the main TV with an HDMI cable. I have nothing hooked up downstairs.
So far I have tried the finder both in the basement and in the living room and can get all the channels, so I see nothing there to make me believe I have a coax issue.
I have also switched out the lnbf. I had a standard and replaced it with a universal, changing the frequencies in the receiver after doing so. I see no difference after doing that, other than I now can scan in some channels on 65 w.
I have also tried rebooting the receiver, and that also did not seem to make anything better.
I am able to lock on various satellites from 65W through 121W so I don't suspect that my alignment is way off. I am not able to find any signal from 125W but I don't know that I can here. That may be a result of the same issue that is hindering my 97W reception.
My latitude is 40.82, longitude is 84.34.
If anyone has any ideas of what my issue may be or what I may try to improve things I would be grateful for your input. Also, I apologize if I rambled on too long, but I wanted to provide plenty of details since they are usually pretty important. Thanks again.
