I also inquired on other forums about what was more important, width of dish, height of dish, or overall diameter.... and had a resounding reply that the width was more important... whereas a 33" Starchoice dish is the same as and as good as a 33" Oval dish... so I'm kind of baffled by the myth.
As for the lin amp, I had virtually no signal showing at all without the amp, and again, not sure how to "Detect" 123W - whether I should be using the coolsat, or viewsat, or which one is goign to be best for alignment.
Yes, I meant it's aimed "right beside 119w for Dishnet. I know I'm in the approximate area for azimuth, just not sure how to "lock on" as I mentioned, the meter made no audible tone no matter where I aimed...
I'll take another look at the lnb when I get home, and confirm the exact type.... then maybe somebody can confirm it's compatibility with Galaxy 10R.
And, to elgemcdlf - not attemtping to talk about "hacking" I realize some signals on 10R are encrypted, just not clear on which ones are "Free" and unscrambled. So, if I understand correctly, the NOLY channels I will get on 10R are the ones that say DVB/Mpeg2 - and only those? Ok, I'll take another peek at lyngsat also.... thansk for thei nfo so far, I'll check out the lnb when I get home.

The only signals you will get on G10R with the receivers you have providing they are stock software (all bets are off if the software has been modified. With that you may get nothing at all ever) will be DVB with MPEG2 and depending on yoru receiver MPEG1, MPEG1.5 but you also require a F indicator at lyngsat. This designates they are Free To Air.
Bill is not talking about skewing the dish. He is saying skew the lnbf. If this is not an easily accomplished feat you most likely have circular lnbf as they do not require skewing in which case you will never get G10R with that. Skewing a circular lnb dish is for hitting multiple sats as skew has no affect (lnbf skew). If you happened to have a linear lnbf you would most likely need to know what sat it was intended to view as it is nonadjustable. this would tell you initial skew and you could potentially add to that to achieve the desired skew for G10R but I think you have a circular lnbf.
Not trying to be rough on you here but you could save yourself a ton of headaches by simply buying a 90cm dish with lnbf. I think roughly $90.00 here at
Sadoun's plus shipping. If your dish is what I think it is you will only get V tps which for G10R may be all you need.
By the way in your original post you made the statement "(I don't think VC2 has ever been cracked yet)" And to a question I just seen in your original post as to number of channels you can realistically expect to get. I believe currently I have somewhere around 750 channels scanned into my DVB receiver. It will all depend on yoru location, viewable arc and equipment.
