looking for another sat.
whats up people. I finally got my cw800s up and running on one sat (110), channels 1-490 with duplicates channels. I have the dish 1000 with 3 lnbs(pros). on the lnb holder there are sat number for each one of the lnb, 129,110,119 in that order. but right now I only get 110 and when I scan for sat 119, to transponder 12239, lnb freq. 11250 and diseqc 1, lnb ocs, no motor. for the 110, I on transponder 12224, lnb freq. 11250, and diseqc 2, lnb ocs, no motor. and no activities on diseqc 3. quality and strenght on 110 are in the 90's%. when I set and look for sat 119 on the above setting it says found sat 110 at the bottom by the Q&S indicator. Im quessing that the dish and lnbs were set up for DN. what should I do? what can I do?
Thank You

Re: looking for another sat.
Your dish is alignment is incorrect. Check Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com for your correct settings. Multiple sat dish setup can sometimes be tricky. Good Luck

Re: looking for another sat.
Hi Landscapeman, what exactly do you mean by my dish alignment is incorrect? if so how am I getting 110? do I need to switch the lnbs around or what? or those lnb gear to pick up certain sat.?
Thank You

Re: looking for another sat.
I am thinking that you need to skew your dish to hit 119. You will need to get all your settings from Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com and them take you time on the dish. You will eventually hit 119. Try to get 75% quality or better.

Re: looking for another sat.
if you have a skew on the back of the dish try and change it so that the 119 lnb is higher 81 degrees and it should come in..

Re: looking for another sat.
Thank You Tomcat01, so what you saying is the lnb on the 119 should be a little bit higher than the lnb on the 110?
Thank you
