LNBF question

[evan]

Hello all,
I'm new in the hobby, and I havent been able to get any picture from any satelite. I would like to know, assuming my setup is completely wrong, and for this matter completely opposite, shouldnt my strength and quality index be 0 or a very low number? No matter where I point my dish I get 68-72 strength and a constant 37-38 for quality. Even when I took the LNBF off the arm still had the same numbers.
System: 31 inch dish, BEC STB DB-2000 receiver,
standard ku LNBF with the following specs Freq:11700-1220 noise 0.5db, gain 55db LO 10750 MHz

Depending where I point the dish shouldnt the reading decrease or increase. I dont mind that I do not get higher readings, what makes me mad is why dont I get lower readings if I point to the wrong direction. Is there anything wrong with the LNBF or receiver.
Thank you.

On most BEC receivers the signal strength bar and the quality bar will remain white and may give constant readings even though you are not pointing at a satellite. Only when you hit the satellite you are searching for (and have set up the receiver for) will the bars turn yellow; at that point you know you are on the right satellite. Then you tweak the dish azimuth and elevation for maximum readings.
