[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1081521, member: 178786"] 1. I am not sure the orientation of the LNB is correct in your most recent photos re my previous comment. As the LNBF looks in your most recent photo it needs to be rotated clockwise a little. [I]If you are facing the front of the dish with the LNBF in front of you I think the LNBF needs to be rotated so that the an imaginary line between the cable connector port and the blanked off port is horizontal. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]This should have the effect of positioning the two probes inside the LNB at 45 degreees to level ground.[/COLOR][/I] 2. The VU+ receiver might be loaded with an old version of the [I]satellites.xml[/I] file which is the satellite and channel configuration file, this could be why 68.5 East in listed as Panamsat? You could try to update the file version by either using an FTP program such as filezilla to FTP the new version to the Vu+ or check the menus to see if there is a satellites.xml option to update the file from online with the receiver connected to the internet. 3. The picture of your Vu+ scan of Panamsat (68.5E) shows a Ku-Band frequency being scanned. Did you configure the Tuner for 68.5 East in C-Band? 4. If your Strong SRT 4979 satellite receiver is known to be working OK I would use that for now. You could check it on a dish you know that you have signals from to confirm it is working before using it on the Winegard dish for 68.5 East. The Vu+ receiver is not a simple receiver to use for a novice. 5. If you order a new C-Band LNBF, subject to availability a couple of decent models are the Titanium C1W-PLL or the Titanium C1-PLL WiMax. They should both come with dielectric plate. [/QUOTE]
