Hello All,
I am a frustrated newbie. Please help!!!
After spending a lot time to install my new dish system and finally get some signals, I found I am aining a wrong satellite.
Here is my equipment: TRAXIS DBS-3500 receiver
DiSEqC H-H
SG-2100 moter
BSC321S 0.4dB LNB
My location: Latitude 38.9 N, Longitude 77.4 W
From the "antenna setup" menu, I selected satellite "Galaxy 3C
95W", at first there was no signals. I moved the motor to west several steps and found good signals. Then the auto search found a lot of channels. But according to all these channels, I believe they are actually from satellite
97W. I know this probably because I am not pointing to the "true south" or my pole is not vertical, but it's very hard for me to straighten it out. Here are my questions:
1. Is it possible tell the receiver that it's
aiming 97W instead of
95W , so save it as
97W and use it a a reference to find
95W? If possible then how?
2. What does "standard" or "universal" mean in the selection of LNB type?
3. Does the selection of TV System (PLA, NTSC, Auto) has anything to do with my channel search?
4. What do "TP Scan" and "Channel Setup" do, compared to "Auto Scan"?
5. What is the difference between USALS and "DiSEqC 1.2" in terms of Positioner selection?
Although I have an "Operating Manual" of the receiver, but it only tell me how to go to each submenu from the main menu, no explanation of each function at all.
Could you please help me out? You advice is very important to me and is highly appreciated.
