what is the right lnb?

[batzzz19]

i just bought a 33 inch dish and came with a single lnb but then i purchased
another lnb thinking something was wrong with that one.

i got a standard single lnb. but still no quality. just signal

im trying to get free to air channels from california.

like galaxy amc inelisat and so on. is there a way to get thing working here

im using a hauppauge nexus-s card and can pretty much test my signal and quality strenght with some other fta box.

i really don't want to buy another lnb......

so how to make things work wtih these two lnbs i have


one is universal made by FIALLO and the the other standard made by captive works lnb

thanks

If you are getting Signal Strength, LNB is probably good.

There are many factory for no Quality.
You need to set up the LNB Parameters properly in the Receiver
Pick one of the LNBs, look at it's info sticker, what does it show for the "L.O."?
You need to enter that Info into the receiver Sat Setup Menu, it's not "Plug N Play".
What Sat are you trying to Lock to, be specific?
Are you using a Motor, or is this a fixed Dish setup?

lnb lof

well the capitve works say L.O. 10.75GHz

and the FIALLO say 9.75 low band, 10.80ghz high band

im either trying to get english or spanish ku band

like 123w english, its not motorized yet

wich lnb to use? and what would be the settings like

 

[Lak7]

Use the Captive Works Standard LNB
In the receiver's Setup Menu
LNB: Standard or Single
LNB Freq / L.O.: 10750
LNB Power: On

As of just recently, not much on 123 west. Plenty of PBS on 125 west
Don't forget to properly skew the LNB in the holder.

lnb question

i have the standard one

 

[batzzz19]

ok, im lookin ad a that 125w transponder to the list of my dvb hauppauge card wintv-nexus-s software. is there a way to add them right. i just copy and past ini file to folder where the transponders are at but didn't add at all on my list

 

[batzzz19]

ok nevermind i put them on sat files and it worked

easily

 

[batzzz19]

ok still no quality just signal
im using wintv

Now you have to Align the Dish.
This is much easier if you can bring a Receiver and TV out to the Dish.

Have the 12180 V 30000 TP selected in the Receiver

Did you properly Skew the LNB?
What do you have the Dish Elevation set to?

 

[batzzz19]

still no quality

50.1 is elevation

10.9 skew

and yes i did try everything and still not quality

could this be a grounding problem

i don't have it grounded

 

[Lak7]

Nope not a grounding problem.
If you are getting Signal Strength, your connections are correct.

When Standing behind the Dish, which way do you have the LNB skewed?
You have the Transponder I listed:12180
What direction do you have the Dish pointed?
