Can't get G3 channels with solid dish

[Bajanmale]

I have the X4 KU-DIGIPAK 2007 package but I can’t seem to get the G3-600, G3-622 or any other channels than what I have in my X4 package. I’m using a 6ft solid dish, 4DTV 922 receiver and Invacom LNB.
I can’t understand I thought these other channels were digital like the X4 channels.

Which Invacom lnb(f)??? The QPH-031 {quad} will work fine with a 922, but if you have the SNH-031 (I think that's the model #), it won't work with a 922, because it is a universal. The QPH is standard.

also to add to what Bill said the G3 channels are c band and you can not get them with a ku lnb.

I thought C-Band was anolog and G3 channels change over to digital?

I am using DSR-920 and 6 foot dish, but have BSC-621 LNBF (C and Ku).
The digital DCII channel on G3-600 comes in just fine.

C band is both digital (DVB and DCII versions) and analog.

Your 922 receiver has 2 ports on the back, one for C band and one for Ku band. You'll need to run a 2nd cable back to your dish and put on a LNB or LNBF that has both C and Ku on it. Then you'll get some C band digital.

How are you moving your dish?

Good point. I wasn't paying attention. I thought he was trying to hit that sat that has Ku DCII (? G16?) . Yeah, not much DCII on G3 Ku. ...

Digital does not equal Ku. You need a C Band lnb or lnbf. I would be looking to the BSC-621 with your present equipment.

Thanks, I'm using the superjack to move my dish. I currently use an Invacom Circular/Linear Ku 0.3 dB Quad LNBF QPH-031 with my 4D receiver. Does the BSC-621 LNBF go in the same slot I have my Invacom in? Thanks again you have been a great help.

This is how I have mine mounted.
You'll need to compare your setup to this:
