OTHER GT media v9 / LNB settings / signal intensity issues

[ZeroSignal]

I'm trying to set up a dish for the first time to get channels from galaxy 19. It's an older dish I got from a relative (no branding anywhere) and it has a universal KU-band single LNBF that's new. I used a satellite finder app to position the dish/lnb, and I searched around for what settings to put into the receiver. I originally got around 45%-55% signal intensity, but somewhere in the process of messing around with the settings / dish position, I now consistently get 0%. I tried using the old settings I had before, rotated the lnb the opposite direction just in case, and it's still 0% so I'm not sure what I messed up. I'm using a short run of coax cable with new terminals, so all the connections should be good. Sorry in advance if I'm leaving out a bunch of info. Your patience will be appreciated

Try changing the SR for the 12152 transponder to 20000. Or do a blind scan.

Good choice of receiver (same one here). Take your time and don't give up, I gave up in frustration and 7 months later came back and finally got it. Big thing is to find a satellite, then you can tweak from there. I first found 105W by getting the dish where I thought 97W was, then saw my signal intensity (not quality) go up as I slowly adjusted the dish. Then performed a blind scan and found I was on 105W. Mark that on your pole and swing it (1/16" is a lot on some Ku signals) whichever way you need to go. (Not saying 105W will be what you find first, that's just what happened to me). Main thing, use a sharpie so you have a reference! So much easier than starting from scratch in the future. You might also try putting in a couple different transponders, that's helped a lot when aligning various sats. In the 4 months my system has been working I went from just 97W to having 97/101 and 99/105, with more in my future haha. It's a blast even just on Ku.
