OK, I bought a Fortec Lifetime Ultra for my parents who wanted some european channels.
I,m on AMC4 But the level is at around 53%, and the Qualitiy is at 0%.

I did a power scan and got a couple of channels with only audio and no video,and a couple with audio and video.

The LNBF i'm using is a Ku 11.7-12.2GHz.
input 11.7-12.2 GHz
output 950-1450MHZ
gain 53 to 65 DB
low frequency 10.75GHz

Now what and I doing wrong??

Do I need to update the software??( I just received it today June2)
Do I need a different LNBF??

Do I need something else??

Thanks for any help

You are lucky that you get that bird! Your dish, what size are you using? Because the minimun size should be 33 inches.

I'am using a 60CM dish.

Just wondering why your saying that i'm luck that i'm even get the bird??

I don't know if this is problem either, but my dish is not perfectly straight up and down. I've done that with my D**h set up and there dosen't seen to be a problem??

Thanks

The dish size could be the problem! AMC4 transmits in Ku and C bands, thats why I asked the dish size because is critical to get the bird.
