[QUOTE="wikun, post: 791544, member: 385919"] Here we go... First off, this is my first post and so hello to everyone. I have searched and read all of the AFN threads on the site, but I am still at a loss for sat service. I am a commo, but I am a radio guy not really a Sat guy. My setup is a 1.5 meter dish (inverted as instructed for a better look angle) I guess if you invert the dish, you will be staring at a 27.5 degree look angle vice a 13 degree look angle with the dish right side up. I have a Cisco D9865 decoder. The settings have been matched to the AFN website that all the posts have referenced. I have my lnb connector cocked to the 4 o'clock position. I have gone up, down, left and right. I am going to post pictures of my setup. The thing that I want to know now, is first, with the antenna inverted, the armature is on the top, the "bend" should be bent up or should the bend sag in toward the center of the dish? I hope that makes sense. Next in the advanced menu of the decoder, if you go to rf status, it is saying the polarization is horizontal. Should I be concerned with this or am I in to deep in the menu? Is the polarization set in the decoder on this model or by turning the lnb? I am going to post pictures up soon. Also I cannot get the decoder to beep. I was told this model beeps to aid in sat acquisition. Is this true? [/QUOTE]
