Do you have a stand-alone receiver? I would not use a PCI card to align the dish.
If you don't have any other receiver, get a sat meter to align the dish. It seems to me that your dish is not well aligned.
Also, try to double check the LO. Although it is set as "universal", double-check to see the actual LO which should be 10600.
good luck

i have up to 80% signal but it is red and says red, scan one satellite never locks on to anything. this is the samething the other card was doing. i think the s/w is bad. i would sure like to see one of these cards work for myself. and see the settings to use for lnb.
