RTV AMC9 Quality Way Up
Gordon, you didn't mention the type/size dish you're using, so here goes. Things I would check, on c-band dish with c/ku feedhorn ..1.Feedhorn centering, 2. focal distance. 3.tweak tracking of polar mount. After that and no luck I'd suspect ku lnb if still no RTV, cable and/or connectors.
That's a start!
Dear TURBOSAT,
Thanks for your reply.
We have a ten-foot standard mesh dish slaved to a DSR-920 4DTV receiver. The dish has an H-H mount that holds very steadily, although adjustments while watching the 9200HD's quality bar have sometimes yielded some nice results. I have heard that the 9200HD's tuner is not very sensitive, and the 3500s's does beat the 9200HD's in that respect; but neither the 3500s nor the 9200HD has been able to receive RTV at AMC9.
Our LNBs do work with other stations on other satellites, e.g., G19. Alas, they are not extra-sensitive (and extra-expensive) Norsats (drool!), but cheap ones from our relatively local repairman-merchant. Nevertheless, they do work with other stations on other satellites.
So far, my results with AMC9 are exactly the same as I got with my 3500s: the NBC insignia, but no RTV.
I will try keying-in Lyngsat's numbers, although this measure has never worked before.
Anyway, please let me know anything I might try to obtain this difficult-to-see station.
And, of course, thanks for trying to help.
Gordon
