Okay first Is the LNBF a universal ? Make model would help.
The LNB Freq makes me think you are using a dishnetwork or other LNBF.
Also point your dish at say Intelsat 5(telstar 5)
http://www.lyngsat.com/ia5.html
this is about mid arc and is the easiest to dial in.
I take it you do not have an H-H motorized mount for the dish?
If you are trying to get dish network through this card for viewing, it is not supported by echostar and the software that comes with these cards may not support the technology needed to recieve those signals. Also the signal is circular polarized I believe so with a Universal LNBF you will have zero luck.
If you are trying to do High speed internet. The service with in the states here should not work with that card. In Europe this card is great for some of the free high speed sat internet.
Look this is a great card and a heck of a lot of fun once you get it going it can be fun trying too depending on your mind set. Do not let these set back discourage you. The amount of FTA programming is vast. Take your friends finder lock onto Intelsat 5 use the bottom of the Lyngsat chart to dial in a few transponders. Once you have I5 locked in and the data flowing to your computer you can move your dish to other sats for FTA programing that might be of more interest.
I will recommend that if you really want to get the most out of this in future save the cash up and invest in an H-H mount for the dish if you do not have one.
Okay I just read your latest post while I was typing this.
You will get very limited FTA programming with this set up. You need to replace the LNBF with a universal(such as those for sale here at
sadoun). Second the Freq you are using is incorrect for that LNBF if memory serves it is 11.7 to 12.2 higher end of the band. Next look throught the Lyngsat Sat directory for available satellites in the arc you can see find one that has the programming that most appeals and park it there for a while.
