[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1092777, member: 415308"] It sounds right for a wideband LNB but I have no experience with them, only what I've read. You are getting a spectrum so it is working to some degree. Perhaps the local oscillator setting is causing trouble. Using 12382H 27500 5/6 on the H output of the LNB, that should give you pictures when you scan it & are on the right sat. Signal strength can be a red herring, signal quality is the important reading. Could try setting the oscillator to 10600 as per what a standard LNB would use for the upper band. In theory 12382H 27500 5/6 would then become 12572H 27500 5/6 so input that instead. This transponder uses the older DVB-S & mpeg 2 which your meter should be compatible with. Dishpointer can be handy but as there are several strong satellites between 5e & 28e and it's quite easy to be on the wrong satellite. Depending on how the meter is identifying 28.5 It may or may not be the correct satellite, several satellites use the same transponder parameters. You could get a 'legacy' old style mk4 sky LNB, then when you have the dish aligned then swap the LNB for the wideband one. [/QUOTE]
