After a long break I went out to try and align it again and finally! I can't thank you all enough for your help. I brought the wife out to help align and we were finally able to lock onto AMC-9. We haven't gotten the quality very high, but it was enough to get a few channels and some wild...

I did mess with it, at the time of the last post, but still haven't been able to get anything going. Since that post I've been busy with work, and just haven't felt like banging my head against it since then. I'm sure that I'll post a big post once I do get something, it's just a matter now of...

Not stupid at all, it's certainly within the realm of possibility. I have a in and a loop on the receiver, and for a while I sat here wondering if I shouldn't have it plugged into loop. That is until I looked it up. I just double checked it and it is screwed onto a port labelled "IF INPUT"...

Well this thread moved. Isn't that a cute little thing. Apparently I can't leave this alone, I printed this and standing under the dish at 195 for AMC-9 I look through the tube and nothing but sky. For Galaxy 19 at 217 nothing but sky. So if I'm using this little jobber right then I've a...

So let me give a play by play here so maybe someone will read this and it will spark something in their minds. I decided before I give up today to try and realign to AMC-9 as it's higher and I understand the concern for the tree line. Here's what I've done step by step. With the azbox off, I...

Yeah It's north carolina we're known for these obnoxious pines. I was encouraged by the previous owner having a Directtv dish in the spot where I now have mine. I don't see them being a problem for AMC-9 but Galaxy 19, might be a bit of a stretch. I'm realigning to AMC-9 now.

Equipment is new. Photos.... Dish is about 6" above my head.... South on the compass, tree line here is about 150' 217 deg would run right down the middle of these, where this tree line is about 70' away. Hence my worries about Galaxy 19....

I've shortened my run to a 5'-6' RG-6 cable that I run right threw a window to the AZbox and tv. Move the dish monitor kind of situation. Probably the satellite I started with AMC-9 if I remember correctly. Even there I've had pretty much the same situation. The route I go is Antenna setup...

No change. I tried with both with tone on and then off. There is also a 9750/10600 in the list and I tried that as well.

Ah apologies, read that as TP frequency. Will do, report back in a few.

Blind scan resulted in nothing. No found TP no channel listing. So I'm crystal clear on this. You want me to in the Antenna setup screen set frequency to 10750 and I'll leave tone on as it's always on. (EDIT: I'll have to add 10750 through sat/tp edit as well since it's not in the default...

Oh how I so dearly wish this was the case at this point. Unfortunately there's just a list in the azbox and I don't enter them, so I must have fat fingered it putting it in here. : /

Yeah this is what I was thinking as well. Unfortunately new developments are thus. I took the dish off to make sure the mast was still plumb. It is. I put the dish on and made sure the elevation was around 44.4 on the marks on the mount. Checked the skew to make sure it's correct. I've a...

That's correct, the signal strength in the azbox is at 60% around there for all these satellites and 0% quality always. The obnoxious audio meter I can get going and seems like I would be latching onto something if not the one I'm after. My run goes from the dish to a ground block, into a...

Minor change in strength but no change in quality still 0% when I move the lnbf around. Tried full front and middle. I did however notice the amber plastic pane was not entirely flat, it's a tad wavy not sure if that's an issue or not. So, I've repointed the dish here. Still nothing in...
