I have purchased a FTA package (samsung dsr3800 receiver, High Gain LNB-msdu2232aa, and 34" dish) from ebay. I am located in Silver Spring, Maryland with lat=37 and lon 77. I am trying to get Telstar 5 or AMC 1. For now I get signal strength of 72 but no signal quality. How hard is it to do this install? Should I get professional help?

Welcome aboard!

I think you might be in the right forest, but barking up the wrong tree. :)

There's an FTA forum here: http://www.dbstalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=67
that probably has the guys who can help you.

Thanks SimpleSimon,
I posted at the correct place with the following UPDATED msg body but no responce yet. Maybe my equipment is not good.

I have purchased a FTA package (samsung dsr3800 receiver, Samsung High Gain LNB-msdu2232aa, and 34" dish) from ebay. I am located in Silver Spring, Maryland with lat=37 and lon 77. I am trying to get Telstar 5 or AMC 1 or Gal 10R. I set my dish to elevation around 40 and azimuth around 220 (This is southwest for me correct?) but can not get any signal quality. I follow all the instructions from a website that I found < http://www.roxsat.com/DSR37_3800SysMenu.htm >. what am I doing wrong? For now I get signal strength of 72 but no signal quality. What am I missing for this install? Should I get professional help?
