[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1074758, member: 176704"] TBH. you are using a [U]very[/U] awkward method to receive satellite channels - meters are only really meant for dish alignment and testing purposes but not for routine changing channels and watching programmes! No "Universal" LNB will get the Horizontal channels unless it is fed with the 18V signal which switches the polarization, and therefore I see little benefit in thinking about changing the LNB until you actually have a proper Sat receiver (or another and better - and far more expensive - meter) which will pretty soon indicate clearly whether you are getting the Horizontal channels . OTOH, you [I]could [/I]try fitting a new LNB - but there's a very strong chance that that will make no difference at all, and won't be much cheaper than getting a basic Free to Air (FTA) satellite receiver (and getting that receiver will probably mean you don't have to access the dish again - or at least not immediately)!.
