With the new rig... 2100 rotor, 32", GREAT new LNB (thanks Pete!!)...2500A

Transponder 1 = 0 The rest I get from 60+

Then I do a blind scan... and it will hang (once it gets
the H/V info) at 5% (once) 10% twice and 12% once.

So I never get a complete scan....

Any ideas?

Thanks
Jon

p.s. Some asked... Yes I am a Brit, in the US...... LOL

Jon, try nudging your dish away from E9 a little more.
My setup right now is a BUD actuator with the Vbox and G10R is very picky - the actuator has very fine resolution and I've noticed that I can get a much higher sig strength from a lot of xponders by nudging over a few more clicks.

Yup... Get away from E9. I kept accidentally picking up that one too, E9 is a pretty strong one.

Isn't that on the value menu at McDonalds? Maybe just here in Texas.

Thanks, I'll try that... I'm also thinking the new 1.5 lbs LNB
might have moved the dish, down, a little....
