Re: How to find Telstar5?

2.check out the link below for the lnbf tilt:

3. You have to use an active xponder to tune the dish. Check out www.lyngsat.com for more info.

4. If your lnbf is standard, 10750 is correct.
If you lnbf is universal, Low freq 9750 and high freq 10600.

Few things you can check:

1. Did you +/- magnetic deviation to/from the azimuth?
Yes, I did this.

2. Did you set the lnbf tilt correctly?
Can you tell me what "clockwise" mean? I mean the direction to the dish, or direction from the dish to the satellite?

3. Did you use an active xponder to tune the dish?
No.

4. Did you set up the LO correctly?
Yes, it's 10750 mHz.

Thanks so much!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate!! I am waiting for your kind reply.
