Ku Band w/ a Slaved Ultra

[bwalker]

I have a 7.5' Mesh with a COROTOR II and standard C & Ku LNBs. My Lifetime Ultra is slaved using Sadoun's BUD slave kit. I get C-Band analog and digital with 99% Quality and I can get Ku band analog, but not digital. I tried adjusting dish position, skew and frequency shif on my Ku lnb. I can get a signal but no quality on the Ultra. Any ideas?

Did you switch to Ku band on your BUD receiver to power the LNB?

Also, not sure which switch you are using, I used a 22KHz switch. The instructions HERE say to leave the LNB power "OFF", but if you are still having problems you might want to try it with the LNB power on. The DC block in the splitters from the LNBs should protect your analog rec. My setup only started working after I switched the LNB power "ON". Once I did this, the switch started working and would select between C and Ku band feeds, no problem.

LNBF power need to be ON.

In your case, since you have an existing LNB on your BUD dish, make sure you select LNBF TYPE: STANDARD & LO Freq: 10750 for all the KU Band satellites.

Good luck and have fun.

I do have the analog receiver on and set to Ku. I also have the Ultra LNB power on and the LNB set to Standard with a L.O. of 10.75Ghz. I am using a 2x1 DISEQC switch.
