[QUOTE="ralphmagno, post: 663030, member: 189146"] hello, i was wondering when you were comming back to post something else. the 500 install they quoted is higway robbery. i would denounce someone for sure. 500 pounds unless they have to rewire the hole building and it takes 2 or 3 days is not right. you will need a dual lnb and run 2 wires for sure. as you face the dish you will need to angel the lnb by twisting the lnb in the holder. this is the scew and here is what you do if the cable screw on is on the botom of the lnb it shoul be pointing to the 7 on the clock and not at 6 where it is. the satellite at 28 east is slanted in space. if you stand behind the dish and at present you are at 1 west you need to move the dish 28 degrees to the left. about 10 inches this is east and there are 2 or 3 satellites. one at 24 east one at 26 east and 28 east is what you want. your small meter with your satellite receiver together should work fine. set up on the receiver a single frequency to scan 12051 v sr 27500. this is the cnn feed with the cartoon network. cnn is in the clear and once you have max strenth 70 or more and sig quality 50 or on 12051 ghz you are there. scann the frequency cartoons are encrypted cnn is not. keep us informed i check this 2 times a day when i am not bussy and can give more advise. :-hny ralph [/QUOTE]
