My Satellite Setup
DM500s/DM7020s
My Location
Denmark
Help plz, before i throw all my hardware in the harbor.

I have setup my wave frontier t90 dish with 4 lnb's. When searching on 1 lnb with my single alps lnb, I get a max signal of 80-82 and finding only around 300 channels/services. This is ofcourse not good enough, don't know how good a signal you can get on this dish though.

The lnb is in the position it should be when I have all 4 lnb's connected, but I connet only 1 directly to the box. I have tried to change the lnb to a very old one I had, and that one gives me a signal of 85 and around 450 channels, which is better (and that I don't understand) but still not good enough cause with that old lnb and a small, old and normal dish, I get signals over 90 and 550 channels.

What the H... is wrong with my setup???

thx

I think you need to upload some photos and tell use which satellite you are scanning.
 
I am scanning astra on 4.8E, and the same one was scanned with the old dish from the same location with fine signal streangth.

I cannot upload photos right now sry. But will do later on if it is needed

thx
 
Yes but which channels are you getting, list a few of them not from the menu name, actually look at the channels and read the name off the screen, it sounds like you may not be aligned on the satellite you desire
 
And the subreflector is correct , and not upside down ? I have also seen that some had set the LNB holders wrong.
This dish is very easy to set up,but you must do it correct from the beginning.
If you can read and understand swedish i can PM a link to a swedish forumsite where i have made a guide for the T-90.

I guess that you have allready find the site "satlex" _http://satlex.org/da/wavefrontier_calc.html
 
Okay i feel stupid, I had the subreflector upside down, noob like I am. Thank you very much Hakon, now everything is working fine. Thank you all for your fine answers. I did not think it was possible to turn it upside down, but turning it the right way helps alot ;)

Glad you are sorted :-handclap
Don't feel bad we have all been noobs at one time or another and done silly things.:-lol
 
You don't have to be noob to do something stupid! I'm sure I'm not alone in assuming that some earlier step I've taken has been correct and wasted hours trying to find the problem later on.
:-DOH!:-ohcrap:-idiot:-nuts
