You should post more information about your dish, LNB and receiver.

It sounds like you're getting a strong transponder (3ABN) on AMC4. You probably need to adjust your dish a bit to peak the signal quality.

You can manually enter the transponder information for RTPi. Just enter 12033 H 3003 into your receiver. Using the "Add TP" feature probably. You might have it already, but you could try adding it and seeing if you get any quality. If you get some quality, try pressing lightly on the 4 corners of the dish (one at a time) and see if the quality increases.

Make sure your LNB is in the proper placement in the holder as well!

Slide the LNBF as far from the dish as is possible in your holder :up

What signal quality are you seeing on "TV English" and have you tried to manually add the TP for RTPi yet?

RTPI is really strong right now...maxes the meter at 99

If the LNBF is Universal - set the LNBF type to Universal (9750/10600) or if Standard type - set the LNBF type to Standard (10750).

What is the skew rotation setting of the LNBF? See the correct Skew Rotation on the attached PDF from GeoSatFinder - Satellite Finder Calculator - Satellite AV.

my strenght signal is over 80 % and on most quality is mostly high all the time on almost all transponder settings... can you manually add a TP on captive? .....

 

[martelo]

23.1.. but I find it hard to adjust that when it only show you up to 20's on the mounts

 

[martelo]

does anyone have a pic of what the satillite is suppost to look like the right way? lol

Yes, you can add a transponder to the CW. Rather than manually adding the transponder try blind Scanning for new transponders. In the Antenna set-up screen, press the yellow button on the remote to start the Blind Scan.

Setting the LNBF to the correct rotation: Standing in front of the dish, rotate the LNBF counter-clockwise (to the left) the LNBF fitting will be aimed towards the 5 o'clock position. Watch the Signal Quality reading and slowly rotate until the SQ is peaked.

 

[Mr Tony]

Captiveworks blind scan is non-existent sadly

Best to manually add it...its probably in there under the old spot of 12169 H 3003 but you need to change the frequency

well ill give it a shot tomorrow and see what i get.. would 35.5 be a correct elevation from where i am? and 23.1 or 27.7 for my lnb?
