[QUOTE="johnson636, post: 405010, member: 260034"] Hello all, I'm new to FTA and satellite tv so please excuse my if I ask questions that some may consider obvious. If I point a dish at 248 degrees then how is it possible for the three LNBs to be pointing at different satellites? How do I go about aiming the LNBs individually? How do I know which LNB is pointing where. How do I measure to see if the LNBs are receiving the correct voltage or any voltage for that matter? How do I find out whether the LNBs on the Dire c TV Phase III are: normal, universal, or custom? KU-LIN, KU-Cir, or C-Band? The frequency Lof1, SW, and Lof2? A STB's signal can be tested and adjusted by connecting the cable to the dish and while one person is watching the tv for a picture another person is adjusting the dish until a picture is found; Can something similar to this be done with a DVB-s pc card? I'm using MyTheatre 3.8 and the steps I'm taking are pointing the dish and then coming inside to adjust MT for a scan. Now I know some may read this and see that I'm asking about pointing the dish at Dire c tv satellites without a subscription and thats true, but thats because its a Dire c tv dish and I just want to be able to point the dish at a satellite successfully whether I'm able to view the channels or not. If MT says the channels are scrambled, then that means that I've pointed the dish correctly and thats what I'm trying to accomplish first. I have to crawl before I'm able to walk. [/QUOTE]
