Some transponders stronger than others?

:roll:
Hello guys,
Let me tell you my situation and please see if you can help or offer
any tips or advice.

Using a ForteStar receiver to receive Telestar 5 FTA channels on
a BUD (big ugly dish) equipped with an Eagle Aspen Ku-Band LNB
(0.6 DB)
. The green bars (signal and quality) only show on two
transponders (20 & 21). The channels on transponder 20 are more
stable than the ones on transponder 21 and the remaining transponders
are all NOT GREEN at all! These are the transponders on the FortecStar
menu.

Also, in the "Antenna Setup" section, since I am not using the default
or universal samll dish LNB, I have to enter a value for the LNB I am
using. I tried 10750 but does anyone have a better recommendation.

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. :?

LNBF Type should be: SINGLE (10750)

For digital signal, the dish has to be aligned perfectly. Tweak your dish alignment a little. Also, make sure your LNBF is skewed correctly.

Since you are using the Polarizor on your Analog receiver, you will only see green on the transponders with similar polarity as your analog receiver.
