Re: Looking for installer Brampton Ontario
the first ones always the toughest...just dont get discouraged. there is much more satisfaction when you do it yourself.

Re: Looking for installer Brampton Ontario
Welcome to ABA.
I can give to you a cel phone from the guy who did to me when i bought my vspro.

Re: Looking for installer Brampton Ontario
Once you figure it out it really simple. Just take your time, set the elevation and then the skew. Then take your time moving slowly to lock on. Use Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com to get the info and basic direction for the install.

Re: Looking for installer Brampton Ontario
Thanks all for the welcome.. ... So after many days.. I managed to get a signal on 110 and a little on 119.. Its an elliptical dish with a 4 lnb bracket.. 110 119 101 91..
So.. now that im in the general area.. how do i go about fine tuning?..
Should I adjust skew first? or elevation first?? which is best way to go.. or.. do I just pick one and go a degree or 2 in whichever direction and see how it affects the signal..??

Re: Looking for installer Brampton Ontario
just focus on one at a time...starting w/ 110 as cisco123 said. once you get it as high as you possibly can the rest is just a skew away. just make sure your mast is absolutely plumb...if not you will have one heck of a time.

Re: Looking for installer Brampton Ontario
Ye I spent lots of time plumbing the mast.. anyways.. 110 80+Sis and Qua.....119 50+Sis no Qua.. 91 70 Sig 40 Qua.. roughly anyways..
Trying to figure out why I cant seem to get anything with 119... Im thinking either bad cable or bad lnb.. I may switch out the 91 and 119 lnb's to see what happens.. any thoughts??

Re: Looking for installer Brampton Ontario
if your getting quality on 110 and 91 you must be getting close. what transponder are you using for quality for 119? dn uses transponder 1 (12224) as a spotbeam, unless you are in that spotbeam you will get no quality. try 12239 and see what your quality is.

Meaning you are getting 110W not 119. BTW are you using any switch in this?

Re: Looking for installer Brampton Ontario
and i take it in your antenna setup you have 119 set for lnb1, 110 for lnb2, and 91 for lnb3?
what kind of lnb's do you have...post your settings, this may help us out.
