Just realized that he has 34 inch NOT 28 like I saw in the first look on his letter. I just finished my experiment on using 18 inches dish with full success so even with smaller size it is possible. I would not use it for permanent use On rainy day U can forget it so I always would recommend as big as possible.
Later I put some pictures.. Anole SatelliteGuys Master. Sep 22, 11, 13 L. For best results, pick a tree, fence post, corner of a house, that's at least several hundred feet in front of the dish. Make sure the dish is aimed toward your distant reference. The way you will do this is to aim the LNB support arm. Make a pencil mark on the post, and a matching one on the clamp that holds the dish to the post. Line up the marks; note the dish is aimed at your distant object. Does the dish look like it's still aimed at your distant reference point?
It won't appear to be, but if the pencil marks are still aligned, then it IS! This procedure cancels that effect. I am reminded of this situation every time I fiddle with a dish that has it's own skew. However, I don't recall ever seeing it written down.
Feedback from other members is requested, on improving or fine-tuning the idea. Thank you all for the wonderful info. I checked many sat sites before joining this one, it is the best, no funny stuff here just the best on the net. I experimented today and attached a circular lnb and got on the hughes dish instantly. I wanted to check and see if I can even aim, after 2 weeks I started doubting. The way I've been doing it is moving dish around, up down side to side etc.
Can I scan a sat tp before getting quality? Should I use my universal spitfire elite lnb or the one that came with the dish? There is a one story duplex in front of me maybe 20 ft to 25 feet tall about 15 feet in front of me will that be low enough to clear?
I don't have an inclinometer. Many thanks to all and God Bless. Select the Ku satellite at 97w. It may be named G19 or G25 which G19 replaced. Choose the one of the transponders that Iceberg recommended. If they are not available, print out the pages for G19 97w from The List on this site. With your Coolsat set on its Manual Scan screen and the Ku satellite at 97w selected and one of the two recommended transponders selected, make sure your other options are set as Iceberg recommended. Now, with your dish carefully adjusted for the correct elevation and skew for your zip code, move it slowly through that area of your sky that is at or near the correct magnetic azimuth for your zip code.
Follow Anole's instructions above on this. Peak it and scan just the one transponder for now by pressing the OK button on the remote. If it scans in the expected channels, exit the Manual Scan screen and go to the Blind Scan screen. Now is the time to Blind Scan your sat, after you have found the desired transponder and confirmed the sat's identity. If the signal bars do not even flicker green for an instant, recheck your dish aiming.
If you still can't get a signal lock, please post your option settings from the manual scan screen, and someone with a similar Coolsat will check them for you. You must be locked on the transponder you are looking for, before you try a blind scan. Signal Strength just means that your LNB is working and sending a signal to your receiver. Signal Quality is what you are looking for. Make a HINT: If you don't have a protractor, You can fold a piece of paper into a perfectly serviceable This site helped me a lot when I started in this hobby too.
Dec 7, 58 Greeneville, Tennessee. It took under 30 minutes using the strong transponder method mentioned. What I did wrong was going under the main dish setup in my coolsat menu, where you adjust lnb type etc and picked my satellite there ; instead of going to manual scan and finding a strong TP on the satellite. I tried getting quality with no luck in that menu I didn't know about going into manual scan, picking your satellite and going to a strong transponder and look for quality there.
At least that is what I'm getting out of all of this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I got roughly channels and radio channels in my blind scan with only a handful being encrypted I would like to give give everyone a big thank you for your help -Dan.
BiggRedd SatelliteGuys Family. Mar 6, 36 0 South Texas. Just adding my 2 cents worth I am in agreement with many others. Your dish is plenty big for FTA. I use it for I also have an old DN Not excellent, but sharp and stable picture.
Actually, I did this one because I was told it couldn't be done. With a smaller dish I find you must kinda pick your battles. Weaker transponders probably won't scan in no matter how many times you try. All of the above has been said many times in this and other forums, just felt the need to chime in. Most important part is to have fun with the hobby. Click to expand Welcome to the forum BiggRedd said:. Previous Next. Similar threads S.
