Well a week or two ago I was testing sky mex and just the other day I went to check it out again. Well I had lost signal so I went out and did some tweaking and got signal again expect now on the bottom of the screen it says RRsat Global Network and only one tp has signal its 12180/300000v. Settings are Intelsat 9 Lnb 10750. Don't know what to do from here. All dish alignment is correct to Dishpointer but no luck.

Any help thanks.

You tweaked your dish too far West....you are hitting Amazonas 2....RRsat Global.

Adjust your dish a little East...back to 58 West.

I must be doing something wrong or over looking something. All I can do is bring signal up to 99 from 80 but nothing from quality. Don't know what is going on !!

Don't know what is going on !!friend have you tried googling lyngsat and see what tp you can use to get the signal,and have you tried tp11980/30000 to see if you get the signal with that tp,but you say you had working before try taking a small portable tv and your receiver where your dish is and hook up everything and while moving the dish look at the little tv and keep moving the dish slowly until you get the quality,thats the way i find all sats,i installed over 100 dishes this way,good luck friend....

Yes I tried that tp along with 12180. The small tv tricks is what I use. I am puzzled I can lock on to 61.5 with the circular side of my lnb in 2 seconds but when I switch over to linear and adjust -2 elevation and swing east a couple or hairs nothing. I can only make signal come up but nothing from quality.

Any Installers out there in the central florida area ????

I have tried every thing I can and I just Cant get it !!!! I have moved my dish from the roof top to a plum mounted pole and connected my motor but still no go fo any bird. Like posted before I can bring signal up to 99 from 78 but the quality never moves from 0.

So if there are any installer in the area and you want to make a quick buck fell free to answer back here or PM me..

Thanks again
