- A good way to aim the dish left/right is to extremely and very slowly move it constantly about a degree a second.. you might catch a good signal.
-You must play around with the elevation, even if its off.. dont look at the markings, just look at the signal level. Adjust elevation after you have achieved the max level from left and right adjustment.
-Make sure you have your stuff connect right.. and the lnb cable is in the IF input.
-Make sure the cable you are using is RG-6. |
I did ALL of the above. I got NO signal at all on Echo7 with the FTA-LNB. NONE. And I was peaked on the sat using circular lnb taped to the fta lnb.
All TP settings correct on receiver when I'm attempting to hit G10R. Right port. Everything. As I said, echo7 with circular LNB blows the signal level off the Fortec receiver... and yest it's good RG6. When I'm trying to dial this in, its with a 3 foot piece of RG6 to the box on portable TV set on a chair outside next to dish. Cabling shouldn't be a factor.
As it stands, since I get NO signal with FTA lnb anywhere, I'm suspecting DOA lnb... all at this point is want to verify if it's dead or not. That's why I bring up the question of seeing a signal from DishNet sats...
