Another quick ques. re: 82 - ABA DSS

**IBella** · July 4th, 2009

First thanks for the help in getting my nfusion up and running with sat 91, I am getting a lot more channels now. I was originally trying to hit both 91 and 82. I can only lock onto 91. Would it be okay to scan channels on 82 without a lock? My husband tried for an hour moving our dish around trying to lock onto 82 but we had no luck, only 91 would lock.
What would the tp be set at to get a lock on 82? TIA

Do you have the 8K card installed in your nFusion HD? As that will/IS required now for HD on B3V as I'm lead to believe.

Yes it does. And it is installed. Does the 8k pak have anything to do with getting it to lock onto 82?

You won't get a signal from 82 because most transponders have changed, so make sure your on transponder 1,2,6,15 or 16 when your aiming your dish. When you get your signal, lock in on, then update all the other transponders, before scanning.

Wait, I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean I should put my tp to 21500 while I am in antenna settings? What is dvb auto pilot, where do I find that in my settings?

What city are you in? The 82 footprint doesn't extend very far south of the Canada/US border. Not usable in southern California even with a 1m dish.

Central California

**restorerancient** · July 5th, 2009

Not positive but have been told that you can't pick it up even in central Cali.
