[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1036609, member: 178786"] gap30, Your C band LNB located above the Ku Band LNB looks to be too far back to me. I would expect the LNB feed opening for a C band LNB to be approximately 7mm closer to the dish than the LNB feed opening of a Ku Band LNB. After 6 pages of discussion and over 100 replies, you are still without a C band signal. It would seem to indicate that there is something intrinsically wrong with your setup for C band reception. As a last resort, it might be worth checking for a dual band satellite that contains both C band and Ku band where both bands are within the scope of your 1.5m dish. Peak the dish on a low level Ku band signal using the Ku band LNB at the correct focal position. Remove the Ku band LNB and replace it with the C band LNB and blind scan the full C band frequency range with either EBS Pro or a satellite receiver. It might also be worthwhile to try some scans without the C band hooded scalar? The EBS Pro v16 software is free of charge and is a good tool to use with something like a TBS6903 card. Rgds [/QUOTE]
