    If you have a Invacom LNB, then you need to change your LNB type on your reciever to "UNI" instead of Single
    Sadoun's M1 package

    80 cm Fortec dish, Invacom LNB, SM3D12 Fortec Classic NA receiver.

    The first thing you don't have to worry about is the signal strenght;
    Yes 65% is OK, that can be defined as a lot of things, but for your installation is not relevant.
    NOBODY goes by the signal strenght for digital satellite installations.
    You can even point the dish to the ground and you will get signal strenght
    You have to FOCUS your attention into signal quality.
    Make sure you have the correct frequency set for the LNB, it appears that you have it correct.
    You need to set your receiver to a known working transponder otherwise your efforts are futile.
    If you don't have a motor then you have to set SKEW with the LNB otherwise you get no quality.
    You have to use a signal meter.
    Don't you ever expect to get kicking signals like DirectTV or Dish, on linear is a whole different world.
    When you look at the sky think logically as in drawing an imaginary arc in the sky where your highest satellite is your true south and that being your starting point to go east or west.

    The Invacom QPF and QPH LNB's are not repeat NOT a universal lnb but a standard lnb with linear frequency as 10750 and circular as 11250 so set you receiver to lnb type standard/single and the right frequency, if you use the UNIVERSAL setting the frequency's are going to be all wrong.
    Please don't PM me directly for information, answers to almost all your questions are in the FORUMS.
    Some reading is required.
