Okay, so I know you all stayed home from work this week because you were worried sick and were just itching to hear if I could get this Satcruiser to work...
I recieved the new Universal LNB in the mail from
Sadoun this week, I first de-installed the "standard" LNB from Sadoun with the new one, plugged in coax to the satellite reciever, and then pushed the dish around for about 30 seconds until I got a strong signal on 12125 under the T5 settings. I did a channel search, and BOOM I had loads of stuff to watch.
So, I personally think my diagnosis was correct, the original LNB was not working correcly, or minimually was not performing at the full specs it was designed to be operating. And I seriously doubt I just stumbled onto the T5 slot by mistake today, asI am certain I searched every inch of the sounthern sky last week and never saw anything like what jumped on the signal meter today.
Thanks for all your help on the board folks, it is most appeciated!
Take care!
