Installing C Band - 180 CM Dish

Okay, I'm installing a C-band dish. It's the Sadoun 180 CM dish. Also I have a BSC621-2 C/Ku LNB which has diseqc switching 2x1.

Okay, I get a line quality of about 80 percent (which never changes) but I just have never received a signal yet.

You know, I understand the Diseqc switch only switches to two positions (1 & 2 or A & B) but I'm getting the line quality signal on all four positions.

I've been moving the dish (manually) trying to get some kind of signal but I never have.

You know, I'm experienced with smaller Ku-band dishes and I receive all the major sats around here, so I just fail to see how I am screwing it up now.

Also, I'm sliding the LNB up and down on the scaler ring to see if that helps and I'm not getting anything.

What do I need? Do I need to post some photos to show what I'm doing wrong, or is it possible that I got a bum LNB?

For instance, I should see some variance in the line quality, right? Also, it should not show (active-- 80 percent) on all 4 positions on my diseqc switch when it only has two pisitions.

I think I tried bypassing the diseqc switch, but I still didn't get a signal.

Okay, that's all on this one.

Thanks.
