Few things to doube checks:
1. LO, universal, Low 9750, High 10600
2. Skew.
3. Azimuth includes magnetic deviation.
4. Use active transponder when tuning the dish.

Also make sure you are aiming at the right satellite, check the other T5 transponders to make sure they have decent signal. The combination of the right skew, elevation, and azimuth will lead you to a good quality and signal. Make sure your pole is nice and level.

Thanks much guys
but as i mentioned i do everything according to the instructions and i use signal finder for fine tunning. btw with the current settings and positioning i'm able to to catch 50% quality on NIMIQ 1. Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Linear lnbf will only get some circualr transponders. If your dish accidently hits Nimiq1 at 91, standing behind the dish and move it to your right side approximately 6 deg and move the dish elevation up 3 degs. I will get Telstar5. Again, make sure you use active transponders and correct skew.

When you get the highest signal on the signal meter, take it out of the line. Connect the line directly to the LNBF, and make final adjustment until you get the quality on the TV screen.

Good luck.

Thanks again.
One more thing -
