[QUOTE="ksada2, post: 682981, member: 259499"] Happy Easter everyone! I'm trying to set up a dish for a relative and having trouble with it. The dish is an 80cm mesh one from the analogue days, so is 10 or more years old but in perfect condition. The LNB is a Thomson quad, which had been used at a previous location with a Fortec Star dish, but not for the last 18 months. I'm using a Konig satellite meter, and can't get a signal higher than 5, with the sensitivity set to almost its weakest setting. I am looking for 28.2E, and the meter does seem to indicate a higher reading when I find a signal, which gives me the impression that the LNB is indeed working. The on screen sat finder function shows 59% no matter whether I point the dish to the ground, or straight up into the heavens. The receiver is working fine, I have tested it at my own house. So, either the LNB is faulty, or the dish and LNB are not compatible with each other, but I have no clue how to find out what is the case. I suppose it could even be the cable, but that tests OK with a circuit tester. Can anyone advise? Otherwise I will have to go out and buy a new dish and LNB, but really don't have much spare cash sitting around to spend it on this. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
