So I've had my satellite setup for a few years (thanks to the great help from the members here). Since it's mainly for my parents, I don't know how long this problem has existed, but according to my dad it's been a few weeks. So the dish is pointed at Galaxy 25 97W. All the signal strength and...

That was on 12152. I did a blind scan after I got the signal working and I think I'm getting all of the channels. There's a few scrambled channels which are labled "nagravision" "viacess" and "irdeto." I'm guessing this is normal?

I'm getting about 85% in signal strength and between 70-80% in signal quality. Is that good?

It worked! Thanks so much Iceberg, knowing that the angle aligns with the center of the bolt made all the difference!

Ah i see, okay I'll give it a try.

I seem to have a different kind of mount. I've attached a pic from the website. Do I use that bronze colored stabilizer plate to align at the right elevation? And also do I align with the front of the bronze thing (the side closer to the dish) or the back (the side closer to the pole)?

Another question. When I go to set my elevation at 44 degrees do I just loosen the screws and tilt the dish until the stabilizer plate is in line with the 44 degree mark on it? Or does the signal come in at a higher elevation into the dish which would mean I'd have to set the numerical value on...

To select those frequencies I just adjust the "transponder" setting under antenna setup by scrolling left and right correct?

I tried again. With the settings I stated earlier, I took a small TV to the roof and hooked it up to the reciever using a much shorter high quality coaxial cable. I shifted and tilted the dish for over an hour but didn't get even the slightest increase in signal strength or quality. I really...

When I change switch from Diseqc to None the input automatically switches from LNB1 to NONE, is that ok?

It only has one output. So I guess the settings are right? So what do I do now?

Ok, So I went into "antenna setup" and entered the following Satellite: IA5 Ku LNB Type: Univ LNB (9750, 10600) Positioner: Off Transponder: 11836/v/20765 Switch: DiSEqC1.0 Input: LNB1 Is this right?

Okay so I just got a brand new system from sadoun. It was the following Fortec Star 90U dish Mercury II Receiver Invacom .3db LNBF I set it up as close to 44 degrees elevation as I could tell, and pointed the dish at 130 degrees from north. I proceeded to move it around bit by bit, but...

Yea it's VERY slow which made setting it up very irritating. The set as a whole was just very old and hard to configure so I just ordered a new system and ditched this one (it was free anyways so no loss).

One more question, the system comes with most of what I need to install it correct?
