sat 129 white springs tv help

[Anole]

I got tired of messing with the two lnb/1 dish idea for the moment and took one of the fortec 30" dishes and mounted the dishnet fss linear to it. Pointed it roughly az 250, checked it with a compass. The elevation on the dish is about 29 degrees.

Okay, and do you now get WhiteSprings okay?
Sounds like a good choice of hardware.
From out here (I may be in a hot spot), I got it on a 20" dish with an Invacom, last year.

Dont have whitesprings yet. Elevation on dish reads ele 29, should be ele 27 for 129sat, 119sat it at ele 35 here. I know I am on 129 because my dish network reciever confirmed it for me when I put a dp lnb and a dishnetwork reciever.

You definitely should be able to get quality on one of the other (Starband?) TPs. For me, 12120 V 1594 is booming in at 96-98% Q. Check that TP..
I am seeing these verticals G27, any others in your TP list can be ignored or deleted for the moment:
12080 V 30000
12104 V 3249
12120 V 1594

I dont have anything on these tps.

Iceberg, post 43 was supposed to be a quote, with my comment at the bottom. I dont know why i would be doing this, but your advice has helped me in the past, so I will repoint the dish and see what happens. It will be several days from now. I am back on the road again. thanks Jason

Last night i tried repointing but couldnt find anything. then I figured I would use one of the transponders i did find to try my superdish multi lnbf configuration. 129 came into to the right of the 123 just like Iceberg said it should. Still no signal on this transponder. Just to check I found 119 on the left side of 123. I guess whitespings isnt pointed my way. Anybody in georgia get it?

If you can pick up EchoStar 5 at 129W you can get WSTV.

Once you find DN at 129W, swap LNBs. You probably still aren't getting WS at this point. But are you adjusting the skew of the linear LNB? You won't get anything until you slowly rotate the LNB in the holder until you get a signal. Reason for this is the DN signal travels in a circle, so it doesn't matter what position the DN LNB is in because the signal will always line up with the antenna. But because the signal from the WS satellite comes in a line, the antenna in the LNB has to line up with it.

White Springs sometimes has trouble scanning in due to its low symbol rate.

 

[Jasontherock]

Tron, what do you mean?

White Springs has a symbol rate of 2920, which is low enough not to be found by a blind scan in the case of some receivers. You may have to manually add the transponder and do a manual scan, inputting the symbol rate, to get the channel to add.
