Hi:

My name is Ziyou Xiong. I bought a S-4 system last week in order to watch CCTV-4. Let me provide some information about what I have:

1. My Location: Wethersfield, Connnecticut, Zip code 06109
2. Receiver make and model: Fortec Star 5900 (FS5900)
3. Dish Size: 80 cm, i.e., 31''
4. LNBF type: Standard Single KUL1
5. No Motor
6. Question: Why is the signal quality always 0% with signal strength around 80%? Is my dish too small?

I followed the installation instructions to set up the dish to Azimuth = 212 degrees, Elevation = 37.2 degrees, and LNPF skew = 23.5 degrees.

I also used the satellite meter to find a satellite at that location. I heard the loud buzz from the satellite meter.

My goal was to watch CCTV-4 on the KU band of the 95W Galaxy 3C satellite. On the receiver setup screen, I selected the following parameters:
Satellite: 265.0' KU-Galaxy 3C
Transponder: 11780H 20760 3/4
LNB Power: 13/18V
LNB Type: 9750/10600
22KHZ: Auto
Switch Type: None
Option: None

My symptoms are that the signal quality is always 0% with signal strength around 80%, or even 100%, no matter
how I fine-tune the dish. Could anybody help?

I called Satoun.com 1-888-519-9595 number to ask whether it is due to that the dish size is small. I was told by
one person that it is not small. Is it really so?

Thanks in advance.

Ziyou
