Moved to the correct area (out of the PC DVB area).

If you are getting one channel then the LNBF is working! Your Satfinder will ALWAYS pull you towards the stronger DBS satellites up there, you need to enter a LIVE TP./Channel in your receiver then watch for signal quality as you slowly point the dish!

What L.O. are you using in the antenna setup screen? Should be 10750!
