Nimiq 1 and Nimiq 3

[jpeterson]

I am using D$sh legacy and pointing at Nimiq 1/3.

I am able to receive all channels on Nimiq 1, but nothing from Nimiq 3.

Using Pansat 2500A, single legacy D$sh LNB.

Getting a good quality - 80%

Any help would be much appreciated.

dssguy,

I am using a 500 dish but with a single LNB. I also did a blind scan but was not successful. Maybe location? I am in central CA in the mojave desert area.

I will try with an Dave oval dish next.

Thanks for the help.

dssguy,

Thanks for the numbers...looks I am off on the Az by a few degrees.

Will try the new pointing this week.

dssguy,

I tried repointing and still the same. I can receive a very strong signal from N1, but nothing from N3.

One of the posts mentioned that N3 does not reach the US west coast(No venus to the west coast). Could it be that because I am on the west coast, I am not picking up a signal strong enough from N3?

Quaity is very good at 90% for N1, but for tps corresponding to N3 (3, 7, 9, 11, 17, 21, 23 and 25), quality is 0%. At one time, I did see a quality of 10% for tp9 from N3. I moved the dish around to get a better quality, then lost the signal completely. I also tried different skews, but nothing.

This has now become more of an technical challenge to me. Now I have to find the solution if indeed the west coast can recieve anything from N3.

Thanks.
