Satellite TV Forum

Have 9200 system installed, get a good signal on 91 at 78%, but cannot find sat 82 and tells me its wrong satellite. I live in Northern Quebec at Eastmain Quebec. I have set the dish as according to the user guide at 34.0 elevation and skew at 98.5. Is there any suggestions as I don't have access to service technicians to properly find the signal? I have tried many times and getting frustrated now.

Hi All!
I have a Bell Express Vu 20" dish and receivers. The question I have: The 20" dish supports two LNBs. At the end of the dish's arm, a Y-adapter is found which holds both LNBs. I know that this is used to receive BEV 91 LNB is in the center of the dish while the BEV 82 LNB is offset to the left. Rotating the dish (i.e. modifying the skew angle) changes the ...

The satsig calculator returned a value of "NaN" instead of a numerical result. I am trying to point to Telsat Nimiq 1 from Central Florida.

Hey All

I can't seem to get anything with my Dish setup.

I have a Starchoice 27 inch oval dish with the Standard dual output LNBF - I know it's a touch small for FTA, that's why I am trying to tune in G10r, it being fairly close to me, and with some strong signals. For a receiver I have a Twinhan VP1020a in my computer, and DvbTV as the software, (and MyTheatre).

Now I ...

I bought and old satellite TV dish, my receivers work, but I only get %50 of subscribed channels.
Changed receiver but the same, changed cable but the problem persists.

Please bare with me as I'm very new with this FTA (Free-to-air). I've been trying to set it up since October, and I am very lost. When I purchased my system it came with a 33" dish and hh90 motor and the receiver came with 28 programmed satellites. My problem is that I have locked on to one satellite, but not sure how to get anymore? My lat and long were given to me for ...

I'm a little (no a lot) confused about the type of LNB's to use for the satellite antennas out there. Is a LNB for DISH different than one for DirecTV or FTA? I currently am trying to get 148 W using a Direct TV dish. Why isn't it working :?: It works for 121 W. Also what exactly is a Universal LNB, and should (and can) I ...

I'm a Physics teacher and am in possession of two old oval DirecTV dishes (24x18 and 19.5x18 in). Neither has the receiver attached, so I don't quite know where the focal points are.

Is there a convenient way of determining the focal point?  I'm not looking to receive satellite signals, instead, I'm looking to do some sound experiments.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

How is it possible for Nimiq 1 (91) to have 0 signal strength on transponders 3,7,9,11,17,21,23,25 in Miami Florida and 100% on almost all of the other 32 transponders?
Also these transponders start acting up in Georgia and get a decent signal only during night time and they "die" at sunrise.

Hey all... I am another newbie in the house. I've been reading, searching, reading, searching... and if I've missed the answer to my question(s), I apologize.

So I've figured my location 43.4805N, 80.4994W (a bit exact I imagine) and so I've calculated the azimuth, polarisation etc via your links (thanks). But I have no idea what to do with it all. The physical/practical/layman's application has me confused. I have one dish, 2 LNBs and am ...
