problem fixed i hooked up my pansat to the lnb, used the meter on that to tweak it and get it at the highest possible strength. rebotted the "free to air" reveiver, which seems to be a St-1000/2000 blackbird, entered in the tps all over again and this time the polarization was correct as the...

i forgot to add, its pointed to t5 and when looking from the back of the dish, the lnb is at 7 im located in vancouver bc, canada ive tried putting the lnb at 4 and changed the polarization to vertical and horizontal but it wont lock, it will only lock on the opposite polarization at 7...

I set up telstar 5 for a familty member about a year ago i got them a receiver that just says "free to air" on it and nothing else its the one you have to enter in the tp's manually what is happening is that it scans the inputed tps and picks up the ch but then after a day or two, it...

problem solved, you were right, it was the braches moved to new location with no branches

ya thats what i thought, but what i dont get is that if the tree is the problem, then why do some tps come in? would the branches not block the whole signal not allowing for any tps to come in?

Im trying to get t5 with better lock Some of the channels come in but not others. a few of the tps i get a max 30% but the other ones that i want come in at only 10%-15% which is no good for getting a clear channel now could this be due to bad weather? those tps are weaker and cant...

where can i buy this unit from? nothing on ebay and i cant find websites selling it

I want to set up FTA, IA5 for a familty member but they want to spend the least amount of money Ive got prices of dish and lnb but i was wondering what the cheapest FTA receiver would be the cheapers i have found so far is the Ariza 500 receiver for $100cdn through local ariza wholesaler...

I FINNALY GOT IT!!!!! the problem was that my dish SUCKS ASS!!! i had to use duct tape to bring one courner back. the was not made correctly, it is not round and by brining one corner back it makes it round. so my dish left side is pulled back by many strands of duct tape making the...

all right, im glad i didnt give up. so ive totally re mounted the dish. i used a level and made damn sure this this is level, and its as level as its going to get. so ive run a few tests and i this is what i get: I get one tp off of 95, tp 11780 and i the cctv channels Then i moved...

im am 99.9 % sure that the lnb is a linear, http://www.digiwavetechnologies.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=22&MMN_position=25:25 Digiwave DGS-03S 0.3db Standard LNB is what it says on the box, that .01% chance is that the universal was put into the linear...

i pull it to the east, thats i pull the left side- this deforms the dish and it works but when i simply move the dish to the east/left it does not i used a level and the mass is not vertical 100% so im thinking it has to do with that

k so heres the update all my settings are right when on the roof i pull the dish and essentially deforming it and the signal moves up to 30% while holding the dish a blind scan was done and all the cctv channels off that tp picked up, i am able to get 10% on tp 11780 from 95 when...

all right, so now given the pro lined it up with IA5 and the quaility is 0% is it just a matter of fine tuning again? if the skew is postive instead of negative, will it still pick up a signal?

so what does the signal level mean? it must be something or else they pansat wouldnt spend time on programming it there. Also, why does it change from 76%-80% when you change the tp's? iceberg, the disteqc has no on off switch- with that how should i remove/add cable connections?
