Help Prime Focus at 13N 59W

Hi All,
I have a big problem. I finally was able to get my 6ft dish into my country located at 13.2N 59.6W (Gov. restricts /requires a permit) but now I can't see a thing. I'm using a Fortecstar 6ft multi-panel prime focus with a BSC621 C / KU Band LNBF and a viewsat ultra box. I borrowed a 4ft offset to do some testing and was able to get 110 at a Q of about 30% with an AspenEagle DTV32+ LNB. I have tried varying the Focal length and even using AspenEagle LNB in the Prime focus but still nothing.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Orion.

What country? What sat are you trying to receive?

I hate to state the obvious, but 110 is a circular satellite which you will not be able to recieve with your receiver.

The receiver can handle circular it is the lnb/lnbf that determines readability (is that a word?). More obvious would be location vs. beam. Of course there is nothing on 110 that a VS receiver can watch other than the congrats screen. If 110 is not what the OP actually wants then there is no reason to waste time pointing at it.

I show you off the coast of Venezula.
