[QUOTE="a33, post: 1078485, member: 332642"] If you corrected all data in your satfinder (erased frequencies that are no longer active; corrected SR's for some frequencies, and maybe added some 'new' frequencies), maybe your dish isn't following the Clarke Belt (the satellite belt) correctly? So that your dish is aiming too high/too low, when you arrive at 134E. What I would do: Now that you seem to be aimed at 122E, first try reception on a C-band satellite near there, so 125E (but I don't know if you are in the sat-beam; but it is what I would try). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.lyngsat.com/asia.html[/URL] Once you get a signal, check that it is indeed 125E, and then check if quality bar level increases when carefully moving/pushing the dish up or down a bit. If so, then change axis elevation of your mount setup a bit. After that, move on to the next C-band satellite, so 128.5E, and do the same. Etc. till you arive at 134E, at the then correct elevation angle. That'll bring you the 134E I guess. If it is your intention of using the dish as a motorized dish for multiple satellites in the future, of course this method is not the solution for that. Then all the mount settings are to be checked and adjusted. That would be a next step for a learning amateur... :) (PS please make a note somewhere, if you have to move your dish up or down for finding 134E. It might help future analysis for the needed adjustments.) Re values in Lyngsat: For FINDING a transponder, you need to enter the frequency, polarity (H/V), [B]often [/B]the symbol rate SR, and [B]sometimes[/B] also the FEC-ratio and modulation type xPSK. All the xxID are channel-IDs inside the transponder, to differentiate between channels for mixing the right picture with the right audio and so. So the receiver needs those values, but usually it can find/read those values itself. Google gives more info, if you want..... I've no suggestion for a receiver. After buying my first receiver new in the shop, I bought all my receivers secondhand. greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
