Re: 5 LNB dish install
Make sure your antenna settings are correct.
Try tweeking the dish a bit to get a good lock on the signal.
Are you using any switches?

Re: 5 LNB dish install
Focal point might be a bit out-of-whack.
Which sat did you aimed at first??

Re: 5 LNB dish install
The problem you are having may be attributed to the skew of the LNB in that position (119). You may have to adjust it/them slightly, the geometry of an 18" x 24" will permit for this set up - but you may have to fine tune it slightly.

P.S. Depending on where you are, you may find that locking onto 110 first helps

Re: 5 LNB dish install
Yes, DN shows a little more strenght on it's signal than B3V.
Check and make sure you have te correct time on the receiver for the program guide to fill in.

Re: 5 LNB dish install
Try changing the TP you are using to scan B3V, I suggest 122253.
