[QUOTE="bofh_dave, post: 37452, member: 177708"] I've got the south beam! You were right, Polomint. The core was too short. Thanks so much. I have another for you: I am receiving all south beam channels now but no north beam or 2D channels. I've been told that I am in a good position to receive them with a 1.2m dish. I need to now get a signal strength and digibox information to send to Skycards so they can activate my card. Here's the problem, It keeps saying "No Lock" with no signal at all in the system setup menu. If I can not get a lock on the satellite, how am I able to see the channels? I've changed the default transponder from 11.778 to 12.219 and rechecked the signal strength and quality and I briefly get a reading but after 5 or 10 seconds the "No Lock" appears again. Also, my dish is pointing directly at a house about 8 meters away and it looks to me like it is blocking the signal path. Could this be why I'm not getting the North and 2D signals? I've asked the techs repeatedly to raise the dish to the roof so the house is not in the way but they keep telling me that it does not make any difference at all. Thanks for all of you help and I'm sorry I keep asking so many questions!! David [/QUOTE]
