You are correct, I did not see a signal on the receiver, I aimed the dish to the bird with the inline meter and did a blind scan then I knew what bird I was aimed at

when my inline meter pegged out I couldn't see anything on the stb until I did a blind scan

Thanks guys,, I will have to check into a new lnb , and yes I am sure I will want a new STB soon too, lol I have been watching FTA for a few days now and I am really impressed with the picture quality. It is better than my cable provider which btw has been cutting out alot like my old...

You'll probably end up buying another receiver too and this can open up a whole new world of feed hunting especially if it's a HD stb and it does S2 besides. At this time your hardware is limiting your potential. As for another C-lnb, there may be plenty to choose from but not all C/Ku lnb's...

Ok, Then I guess I should buy a gbox and LNB

Thank you all for all the help getting me going, in the right direction, I have found many different things to watch from east to west , The servo doesn't seam to be working on V and when I do blindscans I end up with alot of Ku Tp' as well as C Tp's is that normal? My thinking is since I...

I had a missing piece of mesh in mine and I used 1/4 hardware cloth and seams to be working fine. This is all new to me, but I am finding a lot of different satellites

Ok I will try to get back on the roof when the sun goes down. I did a blind scan before I knew I had the wrong settings and it came up with 14 channels half of them had noise and all had some kind of scrambled looking mess . I erassed all of them and set the correct Tp and nothing yet

I will turn off the switch. should I set the tp to the list in the " I need a strong transponder thread " 91 (G17 AKA G11)-12050 V 13350

I only took it to south to take a measurement I figured that there was nothing near my true south active right now . that's why I have been trying galaxy 18 .

Nope, I just read someplace that it should be on, Should it be off?

Yes that is one of the places I have been reading. My Lat is 27 20'23.35"N Long 82 30'18.91"W My Pansat 2500 for 123 Galaxy 18 LNB type: Standard LNB local Freq : 5150 22kHz : on Diseqc : off Legacy SW : none Skew : 51 Tp : 3920 V 26.470 Positioner Setting : USALS Satellite Scan : All you...
