well thats good to be level.

any way you say you can find 91 how about sat 82 nimiq then you would be real close to amc 9

but any way as ur standing behind ur dish you need to go more to ur left for amc 9 or 82nimiq

anyway if you need a different lnb Ku band there only like 10 bucks

ok it was 13 dollars and free shipping

Ok, you saw my post pustki, trying to get you in chat box, I think LNBF is what they need, not going to get free to air without it, will pick up 82,91,119,110 but not the other birds.
We have a dream star FTA standard Dual Linear LNBF, I think it cost us more than 10 dollars, but good lnb

Looks like even in Atlanta some people have reported very weak signals on the regular tp used and state using tp 11775 instead, and a 30 inch dish was also noted on a few of those post which can cause a problem also, you need a bigger dish for free to air, now your dish my be just fine, but your lnb my be the problem, I am looking into that for you at this time.

According to the little sticker on the LNB it is an LNBF.

RF: 11.7/12.2
IF: 950/1450
LO: 1075GHz
Gain: 55dB
Noise Figure: 0.5dB

We had the same thought. Can't get 82.

In homing in that bird, have you got any S or Q that has showed up on the receiver? What receiver are you working with at this time?

**San** · #18 (**permalink**) 08-13-2009, 01:38 PM

that bird is not going to do you any good anyways, you need a nfusion or sonicview 360e,360p,8000hd or kbox to name a few, you can just get the nfusion and that will get you up on 82,91,110,119 or the other to I talked about above will require the Ihub with the sonicview receiver or the khub with the kbox. Those receivers are running on IKS and get you bev and dish.

Coolsat 4000Pro

It shows something in red but I _THINK_ it may just be background noise. We get the same just about everywhere. Even with no LNB attached.

We weren't trying to actually get the 82 bird. Just use it for a starting point for 83. Only one degree west of there.

We already have Directv. One of the old Directv [ one to three head - won't even try an HD ] dishes we can set up and be sipping a tall cool one in less than 15 minutes. I bet we've set up a dozen of them. We had a "repairman" come out one time to install a new box [ big deal ]. He wanted to know who set up the dish. We told him we did. He was impressed. Had a 95 to 99 signal across the board.
