110 & 119 signals

[Smurftoon]

Your Azimuth Is Off By About 9 Degrees. Cover The 110 Side Of The LNB And Get The 119 Dialed In. If Your Skew And Elevation Are Correct, The 110 Should Be There Once You Get The 119 Dialed In.

Also make sure that your Shaft is plumb, or level; ( use a 1 ft bubble level ) on both sides, before mounting your dish to the shaft.

You must get the 119 on the 119 side, your azimuth is off like stated above, maybe your elevation is a little off too. One you get premium signal on the 119 if your skew is correct, the 110 should fall into place. I always install without the switches, just hook your cable from the receiver straight to the lnb, get signal locked in at peak strength and then go to the other satellite w/o usingj a switch and see what you have. If they both look good, install your switch properly and then run check switch.

Crazy1 79,

He States In His First Post That He Has A Twin LNB, Which Has Internal Switches.

[Crazy1_79]

yes I guess he does, I use a quad 500 but I still have to use a sw21 switch because I only have one input on my receiver. what is the point of internal switches if you still have to use a switch?? does anyone know?

Guy's I have had that quad lnb out on my dish for over a month now, you know how it says 1a 1b 2a 2b, I figured two for 110 and two for 119, After reading this post and thinking about it, I went out there and unhooked my sw 21 switch and just ran the coax to the 1A on the lnb and you know what, it picks up both sattelites. This crazy1 feels like a big dumbass. I answered my own question in the above post. and hope you guys don't flame me too hard.

I have almost hit my 1000 post mark and I do something stupid like that. I had the two sigle lnb's on it and I bought a qaud lnb off of flea bay so I did need the switch at one time. JUst hooked it up with one line going to 1A and one line going to 2A and it worked so I figured that was the way it was suppose to be.
