F***ING painfull what am i doing wrong??

[nathj]

Hi All

im ripping my hair out at the moment what am i doing wrong, i have a strong 4658x, with a old fox dish and duel output sharp lnb. Iv followed the tute in this section on dish installation, with all the measurements dialed in!!!


i have 97% signal but for some reason the quality bar wont go above 20% and hence why no channels are being picked up,


the dish settings are 48deg elevation, azimuth 12.8deg magnetic and 20deg lnb skew, my location is central coast NSW,


dont know why im not getting any chanells????? im also pointed at intell sat 8

LNB Freq?

[nathj]

LNB Freq?

not sure its possible i have the wrong lnb freq but all i could get off the side was, 10.7ghz, 11.7-12.75ghz and 1000-2054 mhz so im assumeing this is receiveing rang but i think i might have the operating frequncy wrong but im not sure what it is

1. What sat are you trying to receive from?

[CoopsOz]

Those hills dishes have a 22 degree offset, are you factoring that in?

[intelliGEORGE]

I was also thinking he may be using True Azimuth instead of magnetic. Central coast has a Magnetic variation of 12.6 degrees.

What color are the signal bars?

Looks like you're trying to pick up Int8 sat.

Elevation: 48.1°
Azimuth (true): 25.3°
Azimuth (magn.): 12.7°
LNB Skew: 20.9°

so instead of 48 deg i have to be at 70deg??? and yes im aiming for intell sat8

[mickc]

have you tried 10700 for lnb

[nathj]

ill try 10700 for lnb! is it 10.700 because that is the setting format in lnb setup, also i think the elevation might be out but i cant change that untill tomorrow because of an electrical storm at the moment, ill change it to 70deg assumeing the hills dishes have a 22deg offset!

[CoopsOz]

It's the other way around, it will read 26 degrees or thereabouts.

AND Don't forget that you have to have the correct frequency FEC etc setup in your box...otherwise you will get nothing

what value should the FEC be at???

[SGCPRECEPT]

Pick your **tel from here

[CoopsOz]

What bird are you looking for? C1 for foxtel/Austar/Aurora or Pas8 for Select? Once we establish that we can give you more detail. Lyngsat will give you the correct freqs, symbol rate and fwd error correction figures. All services have their own tuning channel which will generally be a nice strong signal to tune to.

[nathj]

its intel 8 ill have a good look at lyngsat now

not sure what im looking for??

someone can correct me if I'm wrong but all dishes I've installed have corrected elevation. You just set it to what it should be and don't worry about the offset.

Tune your STB using the following settings: (SelecTV)

Frequency:
12526 MHz
Symbol Rate: 28800 MSym/s
FEC: 3/4
Polarisation: Horizontal
LNB: 11300 (maybe 10700 depending on the LNB in use)
