101w c band

Hi one question
101 west most tp coming around 70% 3880v 3920v,3980h,4020h and rest but to get tp 3840v need to turn dish with motor and then tp 3840 coming with 80%signal but rest are 0%,what is wrong with my setup.

What CHs does it scan in, I am asking because sat 103.0w has TP-3840 and 101.0w and 103.0w are very close to each other.

What size dish are you using? It maybe that you have a small dish and the need to offset to get one TP is because of adjacent or near satellite signals leaking in (an issue that I have using 4 foot mini-bud). Although adjacent satellites are supposed to have polarity swapped 90 degrees with respect to each other on same TP (ie if one TP starts at 3800 V on 101, then 99 and 103 bird 3800 should be H (not real freq example)).

Well I could check this out but my actuator on my big dish died,(locked on 127W) have to wait till a good sale comes up on actuators.

And I found that the DVB-S2 8PSK transponders take a bit more gain to get a solid signal on them then the standard ones, also adjacent channels on a close in satellite affects them a bit more, even with opposite polarities on the transponders.

And I have about the same problems on 127W TP 3920 V, on the NASA channels I had to offset the dish a bit to get them to come in, the satellite at 125W has a TP on the same frequency but at an H polarity, I had to offset the dish to the West a tad bit to get a lock on the NASA channels. (they are not 8PSK)

All others are fine.

thank you 3840 v for epix channels and 3820 h on 101w and using 8foot mesh dish,rest tp are ok with signal but this two tp need to turn dish for maybe 2-3 mm and then I have good signal on this tp but lost others,I am new to c band and not sure if my dish setup is good

Thanks Terryl just get one actuators for $50 canadian new from one store.

You need to check your LNB focal point and scew, focal point is set by is moving the LNB in and out to get the best S&Q, the scew is set by turning the LNB clock wise or counter clock wise to get the best S&Q.

The Luken transponders (4020/H/28000/3/4) were not working last weekend. I'm going to check this weekend to see if they came back.

Looks like they moved them back to SES2. So much for that.
