"I get all 0s on 101 tp except for three on last row " this does look like you're pointed to the three tps on 110.
welcome to DBS talk and the man above me is the man to listen toodavros74 said:Okay, I think I know what I did wrong, but wanted to ask here first before I waste another 30 minutes up on my roof.
Installed AU9S dish on roof truss, dead plumb, with two monopoles. Used an Accutrak III and the "procedure" on solidsignal - thought I did everything correctly. Hook up my HR20, and I get all 0s on 101 tp except for three on last row (in 70s/80s), 96+ on the 110, and all 0s on the 119 (and all 0s on the 103c).
For my area, az/elevation/tilt on the 5lnb is supposed to be 193/41/80. I peaked the 119 at 69 tilt and 39 elevation. When I go back into my HR20 and enter 3LNB dish, the settings are 206/38/70.
Based on the elevation/tilt I peaked on, my guess is that I aligned my AU9S on the 110 sat and not the 101. If my guess is correct, I need to turn my dish 13deg east, and move the el/tilt back to 41/80 and try again (and verify this time on the receiver I am getting something on the 101 after coarse alignment).
Does this sound like what I did wrong?
Your on the right track. You are indeed pointed at the 110. Raise your elevation a bit, adjust the tilt and set your meter to look for the 101. Move it east and it should pop right in.davros74 said:Okay, I think I know what I did wrong, but wanted to ask here first before I waste another 30 minutes up on my roof.

I may not be reading the post correctly, but seems to me he sould input 5LNBdavros74 said:Okay, I think I know what I did wrong, but wanted to ask here first before I waste another 30 minutes up on my roof.

Correct. The 3-LNB dish is aimed at 110 while the 5-LNB is aimed at 101. That would certainly account for his being aimed at the wrong satellite. There might also be differences in the elevation and/or tilt between the two dishes.Bill C said:I may not be reading the post correctly, but seems to me he sould input 5LNB
not 3 LNB
