I am at a loss to figure out what is happening with my system today.
Yesterday, worked many hours to bring it back to life, got it just right and this morning - NO SIGNAL!
I have 3 receivers, two are GT Media and the other one (Inexpensive Koquit) shows a signal on SES 2 but it is out of the Transponder range for the sat or at least the range shown on Lyngsat. I get a quality signal around 40 percent on freq 12730V5000 and 12745V5000 neither show on Lyngat. Once I switch to 11960H30000 the quality 0 Intensity 60.
The LNB is old (Geosat Pro SL1 PLL) so I swapped it out with a new Amiko L-107 and made sure to change the setting to 10700 vs 10750. Nothing - except the quality did show around 38-41percent as I said above. Signal intensity respectable 68 percent at least enough for something to scan in. Nope. Not on SES 2 because freqs too high to locate a program.
At this point, I only want to receive a good signal on SES 2. I'll finesse another Sat later but something is keeping me from programming on SES 2.
Any ideas, suggestions? I really enjoy watching the feeds but WOW! I'm at wits end...
 
Your Amiko L-107 is a universal LNB. It's local oscillator (LO) setting in your receiver should be 9750/10600 MHz. Your configuration in your receiver should set 22 kHz to Auto if you want to tune the full range of your LNB.

Those signals you are receiving are likely on 11780 V 5000 and 11795 V 5000. They are strong data tps so you won't see any video or hear any audio.

By the way, the GSP SL1PLL is an excellent standard LNB. You could use it too just being sure to set the receiver for an LO of 10750 MHz.
