[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 940712, member: 176362"] Hiya Kelvin , a very warm welcome to our forum. Hope you enjoy your time here. Dont be afraid to ask any questions no matter how simplistic here - we are a friendly bunch and welcome folks of all abilities & interests here. Just to answer your initial questions: Satellite name Either use one of the sats at a position or the orbital location - for instance I use things like Astra 19E or Eutelsat 36E on my receivers LNB Type - User, Universal, Standard Unless you get into some of the more esoteric reception modes you will only ever use Universal. This one is to do with the local oscillator frequency (ies) inside the lnb on the dish Freq1(Mhz) - 5150, 5750, 5950, 9750, 10050, 10600, 10700, 10750, 11300 A universal will have 2 frequencies - 9750 & 10700 LNB Power - 13/18v, 13v, 18v 22K - on, off These are part of the same thing - lnb switching. The horizontal / vertical polarity is changed using the voltage & the hi/lo band (which uses the 2 osillators mentioned above is done by the 22khz tone. DiSEqC - off, [port 1, port2, port3, port4] For switching a multiple lnb or dishes setup. Some of us have incredible complex switching arrangements on our dishes! Positioner - off Leave off unless you are using a motorised dish. Have a look at this web site - it may make things a bit clearer how the satellite arc is set up here in Europe. You wont get anywhere near all of these, but you can add in additional lnbs cheaply if you want to do a bit of exploring - just ask what you need & someone will chip in [URL]http://www.flysat.com/satlist.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
