Hi I'm trying to set up G10R but I have 0 Quality I'm using 33 inch fix dish, my receiver is Lifetime Ultra , the Elevation for my location (Toronto) is 23.7(El), 234.4(Az) Lnbf (skew). I can see Intelsat americas 6 with no problem but when I try G10R no luck..
I have 3 lnbs one says: universal twin lnbf sk2, input 10.7-12.75 Ghz,Output: 950-2150mhz, l.o: 9.75/10.6 Ghz,noise: .3db,Gain :70 db.
The other says: DSS dual lnbf, i.f 11.20-12.70 Ghz, L.O.11.25 Ghz, noise figure .5 db, Gain:55 db, . I put tp 11799 V 26.660 still nothing, I have another LNB that I have not tryed yet (It's for DTV) any Ideas?Thanks for help.
Thanks....
Sergio

If you go to http://www.ftalist.com/g10r.htm, you would see that FTA channels are linear, so your universal lnbf should get them, assuming you do not have aiming issues.
