Hello, can anyone tell me if they have been able to acquire galaxy 16 @99w and gotten transponder 3845, I have a 6ft dish with a DMX741 lnbf and was wondering if I could pick this station up, thanks

Hi why do you think that there is something wrong with you settings? If that receiver is anything like my Viewsat Max hd receiver you will have to manual enter in all the data. I took some setup photos of my Installation check them out I have more to add can only have 5 in one post. If you want to try to find this transponders on AMC9 at 83.0 west. I think this would be your best true south satellite.
Try freq:3804/V/sr:4167 and freq:3817/V/sr:2878. Be sure to turn OFF the 22khz switch for c band. Do you know how to manually add a satellite and a transponder on that receiver if AMC3_C Band is missing?

Remember
22khz switch
ON = Ku Band
OFF = C Band

check Galaxy 16 at 99.0°W - LyngSat
North & South America - LyngSat
Yes I watch those channels from time to time.
Does your receiver support DVB-S2 not sure what your receiver is.

I'm wondering if you have your true south satellite found and have your polar mount set now? Once you do this and have it set correctly you will be able to use your Actuator/G-Box and just goto Galaxy 16 or SES2-AMC3. The most important part of the setup is setting up true south with dish/mount on it Zenith.

Hello, I have the viewsat 9000hd and it says that it is dvb-s2 capable. I have a DMX741 lnbf and a 6ft dish. I am sure that i am setting something up wrong in my receiver, could you please tell me what settings you have and this way I'll see if I can get that sat, thanks.

ok and what should be the setting for my lnb lo, thanks

Hi
using the DMX741 LNB here are the setting.
For Ku Band set the Lo Frequency in your receiver to 10750 Mhz. Then turn ON the 22 khz switch.
For C Band set the Lo Frequency in your receiver to 5150 Mhz. Then turn OFF the 22 khz switch.

In my receiver I have 2 satellites for say AMC 9. The first one is labeled C_AMC 9 and all the parameters for C Band are set there. The second one is labeled Ku_AMC9 and all the parameters for Ku Band are set there. You may have to manually enter the transponder data from Lynsat for each satellite you build. The Viewsat receiver I have the blind scan doesn't work at all. I just enter the data by the remote. Takes some time to do that. There was a channel editor but Viewsat company if gone. My editor is only for Max Hd but I'll check on that.
