QUALITY STRENGTH

[MCPAR3]

GOT A NEW SONICVIEW 360 PREMIER AND I HAVE GREAT SIGNAL STRENGTH BUT DO NOT HAVE ANY QUALITY STRENGTH...JUST LOOKING FOR A WHAT I MAY BE DOING WRONG OR NEED TO DO OR TRY DIFFERENT...

Signal strength only means you have a lbf connected. Quality is the one that counts, and since you have zero my guess would be that you are not aimed correctly at a satellite.

Why do they yell at us? What did we do wrong?

well as you can see, no one will knock anyone down trying to offer you any useful info. make sure to take the steps to confirm you have the right lnb frquency, your mount is plumb, azimuth, skew... there a whole list of basics I'm sure you know. There are lots of internet resouces for tips on aiming you dish, locating satelite, setting up your receiver.
There are good tips here, I've found icebergs check lists and posts to be very helpfiul. But I am basically in the same boat. I think I got the basics covered. You will get a good strength reading just by plugging in the lnb. I am getting decent reading on my sat finder meter but not much luck on the quality. I will research it more tonight and let you know what I find. Perhaps I better invest in a better meter. I'm sure I figure it out soon.
Sorry, didn't mean to drone on and hijack your post. Im just next door in TEXAS

well what is the setup?
Dish size?
LNB type?
motor involved?

etc

Please read this below your first post.

Turn off your CAP LOCK, it makes it look like you are yelling at us.

Phottoman: Either that or We just lower the Volume of our PC/Monitor Speakers, lol .... and I am still laughing. To be fair I have no speakers so it does not bother me at all, lol.

Now seriuosly as Iceberg said, MCPAR3 post more info related to your equipment so we can help you or at least the ones that do not have speakers like me, lol.

On a side note and off topic (as usual with cubans we always drift off topic (and also north away from the coast on rafts, lol...) on conversations).

Funny how Human perspective is so diverse eh? For some , Typed Caps looks like someone is yelling at them for others like me it acctually helps read the text better as the letters are larger, lol. Oh well , is called freedom , you either like the pigeons flying all over the city or you dislike them , at least you have the right to dissent. Enjoy it

Ah, I almost forgot as usual. MCPAR3, Welcome to the Forum. I hope you enjoy it , beleive me , I do, lol.

Just as the guys explained above, you need to provide more info about your equipment (i.e. LNBF type, and dish size) to help you better.

Here are my suggestions assuming you are aiming your "stationary" dish at Galaxy 19 (97W) and you are using a STANDARD type LNBF:

In the antenna setup menu:

Satellite: Galaxy 19 (97W) (select proper satellite name here from your list of satellites)
LNBF LO Freq: 10750 (this of course depends on your LNBF type)
22KH: OFF
TP Frequency: 12122 (use a LIVE transponder for the satellite you pick)

Go here and check your dish's aiming angles:
Satellite Look Angles Satellite Heading Calculator Azimuth Elevation Skew Tilt LNBF Latitude and Longitude values

Slowly move your dish to the Azimuth/Elevation angles specified. Also adjust LNBF skew angle accordingly.
