What part of IN are you in? 49 is way to high for the motor providing you are setting the latitude side scale. Send some pics as it sounds like you have something built wrong. What are you picking up off the sats you listed?

[rvmtk]

about a hour south of south bend yes on the latitude side
channels on nimiq1 from 00050 to 00780 singal 75 Q 75
channels on nimiq 2 00119 to 09212 signal 75 Q 74

do you have the motor mounted with the shaft pointing down?

[rvmtk]

yes and the cables are coming out the bottom of the motor

What is the brand of dish? What is the lnbf? What are your settings in the reeciver for the LO on the lnbf?

[rvmtk]

i dont remember the kind of dish but i went back to ebay and the one that looks like the one i bought is a winegard ds 2076 33" i bought a diffaint lnb because i thought that use the problem so the lnb is universal circular & linear dual lnb 119& 118
trying to set true south at AMC 86.1
lnb type universal
high 10600
low 11000
tp freq 11716
did i use north and west or east and south

[rvmtk]

my setup

[elgemcdlf]

Why are you wanting 119 & 118? There is nothing on either of those sats that is FTA. It all requires a sub to DN.

[rvmtk]

I am not wanting 119 and118 i am trying to get the rest of the birds with this dish I get nimiq 1 and nimiq2 and echostar 3 now I know there are alot more birds then that that i can get so are you saying i am useing the wrong lnb? Do i need to use the one that came with the dish? Like i said i thought something was wrong with the lnb that came with the dish that is why i bought the other one I read about people picking up 20 or 25 birds that is what i want to do thanks for the help

[rainman]

You will need a linear lnbf to pick up the free FTA channels.

[rvmtk]

all i want to do is pick up the fta birds that the dish was made to pick up when i bought the dish the person said i could pick up 25 0r 30 fta birds thanks for the help

[rvmtk]

i lnb i bought is soupose to be circual and linear lnb so is this not true what kind of lnb do i need to buy thanks for the help

[rainman]

as long as it will do linear you should be ok.

What is the lnbf you are currently attempting to use? Make & model. That si the starting point. Your receiver is not configured properly but none of us can tell you what to set the receiver at until you tell us what the lnbf is.
