Using BSC621-2 C/Ku LNBF

[Reinhold]

I bought the above LNB (available from sadoun) and the holder from sadoun and installed them yesterday.I do not get any stations.The LNB came with a ring,does that need to be installed? How far forward does the LNB need to be? Any suggestions as to installation of this LNB would be appreciated.

Here are some pics of my install. Hope it helps.

Scalar ring has to be installed to properly illuminate the dish. I am using one specifically made for ofset dishes that I got when I ordered another c lnbf from someone else.

THanks for your help.
I am having problems lately with betting on the forum,so I was not able to give a Direct reply.

Is this the lnbf with the built in DiSeqC and circular ability? If so I have one that I have not put in yet. I am mounting mine to a 8.5' mesh dish for a dedicated dish for 40.5 C Band circular. I will be mounting in standard big dish fashion ie: using the scalar ring. If you are set flush to the face of the ring you should be decent for a start.

This beast has odd LO which makes it unusable with 4DTV receivers. Are you trying to mount to a solid small dish as VJ has or normal big dish config?

I am mounting it to the 120cm solid dish.
I mounted it like VJ shows with the ring and without it right to the end of the LNBF.No signal of any kind.

do you have diseqc correctly setup for c and ku? Try it on Ku first, make sure it is working. Also make sure that Lnb is rotated like the one on my picture in order to get the polarities right.

Hi vj.
Are you saying I need To rotate until I get signal with a TV on the roof?
If that is so I will wait till the weather is more cooperative.
It is already 80 at 7AM here in VA.
Thanks again.I'll keep trying.Reinhold.

If you are setting it up as a linear you have to have the skew set which would be rotation of the lnbf. I am setting mine up as circular so in theory it should not matter for me.

One thing that would matter for you though is how you insert the dialectric plate. There are 2 slots for it. One is if you want all L and the other one is for all R.
