The stb will always show H and V, never R and L, so that is normal.

Have you tried adjusting your dish elevation at the bracket ? Mine was off by about 8 degrees.
The fact that you are getting all these circular birds, but at LOW quality levels makes me think that your azimuth setting is pretty close.

Linear birds have much weaker signals than circular echostar birds. Since the circular signals are low, the linear ones are probably nonexistent. I wouldn't suspect a problem with the lnb so far.
Go back to Nimiq 2, and adjust dish elevation at bracket ( definetly NOT at the motor), and see if you can improve the quality. I get 85-100% on the big circular birds, with a 31" dish, so you should get better quality than that.
