I am getting confused.Not hard I may add.
According to what I have read.With my TM5402HD.
For right use V.
For left use H.
My TM scanned this transponder in as 4116 V
Flysat lists the transponder as 4115 L
That means that my TM5402HD should have scanned it in as 4115 H.
Please enlighten me.:)

Did the same thing and think is was CJ that guided me and I guess it is threads like this one that will be a great help to other C-Band beginners.

Enjoy your weekend. :)

The C band LNB turned up today. I need to mod the dish now to take it.

I get a clear view to around 57e before the dish hits the limit/wall. and 30w the other way. Which side should i put the LNB?

I'm using a quad tuner, VU duo 2. I've got two feeds off the sky dish and 2 off the motorised. I plan to swap the CM feedhorn for a single IBU and use the second feed for the C band. How do I set this up?
