Success

[alarroyo]

After almost a month of frustration and ups and downs finally was able to figure out what was wrong. First I changed the location of the dish to about 10 feet higher. Secondly I started comparing the frequencies of the TPs on my receiver and the ones on lyngsat and guess what they were off. Started matching the lyngsat frees with the ones on my receiver and there it was 91% strength and 78 quality. The first sat I tried was HISPASAT 30W and hooray there it was. Tomorrow I will be going one by one and program the channels on my receiver. Thanks to all those who helped.

It is such a nice feeling when you start locking birds....Congrats!!

Yes ! Even with one bird solidly locked, you have hope. But until you get that first lock, there's no clue about having done ANYTHING right .

That's usually the case. Congrats on figuring it out, Nice feeling, isn't it?

I wonder who here holds the record for receiving Hispasat furthest west in the USA? alarroyo's San Antonio is getting pretty far west, but do we know of anyone in Colorado or Wyoming, etc., picking it up?

You shouldn't have trouble finding active channels tomorrow, just about every satellite will have hurricane video on 'em.
