Thank you Dan. Does the slimline have a linear LNB in it?

 

[danristheman]

no you have to reuse an old superdish from dish network take the lnb off and put it under the arm of the slimline. look up past post of my mods that should help you out more.

I'm on 91W, but all I can get is Nimiq 1. Galaxy 17 is not programmed into the Viewsat Ultra, and I cannot figure out how to add a satellite. I'm either gonna try to borrow an old Pansat from a friend and try that, or try to mod an old 310 Dishnet to receive FTA, or something else. Will keep you all posted.

If you can figure out how to manually enter a transponder to scan, try 12010 freq., Vertical pol., 11574 symbol rate. That's the one that ABC News One feeds are on. The footprint for Ku-band on Galaxy 17 shows a strong reception in the Bahamas.

It's probably labelled "Galaxy 11/C"

If I recall, you can add/edit Transponders and satellites through the channel scan menu. Some F1-F4 buttons should appear at bottom of the screen. You might have to arrow down twice and press okay.
