Cant See The G Brids

[OriginalMystro]

So I was wondering why can I pick up 61.5, 72.7, 77, 82, 91, 110, 119, and 129 but none of the Galaxy or Amc or Anik sats?

Fortec 39" Dish

So what is your question..........

The question was why can I pick up the previously stated sats but not the Galaxy, Anik, or AMC sats?

are you using a switch (port 2 should be connected to linear on your invacom) try using this, you will need it for the galaxy sats...also, you have to be aligned virtually perfect to get the linear birds.

Yes I am using a switch and port 2 is connected to linear on the LNB and alignment seems good USAL works for every working bird I stated earlier.

All the birds you are hitting now are circular. Circular Sats have a wider margin of error, in other words, you don't have to be "Dead On" to grab good signal and quality. With Linear birds, the difference of 1/2 a cm could make or break a Lock. Take the switch ou of the equation, run directly from Linear(invacom) to motor to STB. Using "USALS" send dish to G10 check for S/Q. if not locked, get on your roof (or to your pole) and very slowly (we're talking mm's at at time) move your entire dish East and west till you get your lock.
Linear can be a night-mare, but when you do finally get it, it's pretty satisfying, if not for the programming, simply for the fact that you nailed it and are able to view true FTA. Also, make sure your Invacom is as true as possible on it's bracket (90') the slightest variation from perpandicular, could also be the culprit... Good-Luck , and keep patient, you will eventually get them locked.

to pick up ku sats you need to turn on 22khz to on .its under lnb settings.it should look like these lo.freq.low10750. 22khz on.lnb type standard.hope it helps

Thanks for the good info Im going to try that as soon as I get home as I didnt realize Linear was that picky.

So I Did as everyone suggested, usedd just the linear line and pointed at g10 and tried to make adjustments even tried the 22khz power but still cannot detect anything linear. Any other ideas? Is it possible the linear side of the LNB is defective?

Well it seems to be a problem with the TP frequencies. I have located and manually entered the tp codes for Galaxy 25 and it works but havent gotten any other Galaxy birds to work yet so I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find a current list of TP frequencies other then Lyngsat.

[tomcat01]

do you have the proper settings 10750 and not 11250 then ask me what sat you want and i will tell ya what tp freq have the strongest freq to hit

i am ready

make sure you have 10750 or you will not get any free to air or linear as we call it LOL

Thank you that fixed it for some but if you know the strongest TP frequencies for galaxy 10 and echostar 9 that would be great

[tomcat01]

if you are talking galaxy 18r 123w then you will be sad they went bankrupt and there is nothing on echo 9 anymore .. but there is some on others what sats do you have that are ku right now ???

let me know and i can help you with others

[OriginalMystro]

Well that explains that then and currently for KU I have 61.5, 72.5, 77.0, 82.0, 91.0, 110, 119, 129 at least those are the ones I can thnk of right now

[tomcat01]

ok what you need to add to your reciever is sat amc 21 this has pbs hd and a few other channe
here is will give yoou what you need to add

settings
sat -amc21 125w
lnb type -single
lnb freq 10750
22khz -off
lnb poweer -on
tp freq 12140

and you know the rest

anyways here are the freq to add
12140 30000 v 3/4
12179 30000 v 3/now these will give you some HD some are off air right now but they are great channels if you like pbs

if you go to lygsat you can see how to enter the tp freqs

amc 9 also 83 west has some great retro channels just 2 but they are good

one tp and it is


11735 H 4444 3/4

and you will get 2 retro

[OriginalMystro]

Awesome thanks again!

[tomcat01]

yuo can also use lyngsat here one second i will post a pic and show you how to enter tps from there

[tomcat01]

North & South America - LyngSat

go here and you can click on what sat you want to try only the ku band not cband

example now the first spot you will see the tp to enter 11735 then the H(for horizontal) then when you move to the right more you will see SR-FREQ SID-VPID this is what you want to enter for symbol and the 3/4 is the FEC save with auto on the nfusion and that is all you have to doo

too bad the nfusion does not have bling scan you could be done is seconds but it is a nice box still ..hope this helps

[tomcat01]

if you speak different languages the you can also scan 97w it has 244 international channels

Actually 97 was the first linear I got working
