directv, HD24-100, 18" Satellite Dish
Now before someone flames me for this, I did a search for this and I can't find the prior replies!
I'm camping in Big Bear, CA (zipcode 92315). According to the box, it wants 139 azimuth and 46 degrees elevation.
In my prior posts, I was told I can use a standard, Single LNB - 18" dish to pickup the satellite.
I went into the satellite setup and I set the satellite for number 01, 18" round, Switch Type is set to SWM from Multiswitch.
I've tried panning left and right, plus up and down with no avail. the dish is at 140 at at 46 degrees I've verified it with my compass plus my cell phones compass just to be sure. The mast is deal level - using my small level (no magnets in the level!!!) and my phone as a backup.
The dish I'm using is labeled Directv - winegard it's a roundish shaped dish... Almost round, but it's a bit oval in shape. A couple of spots from where I'm at, there is an RCA that is 18" and is perfectly round.
To insure that i'm not having any cabling issues, I'm going directly from the dish to the receiver. No 5er wiring between me and the dish.
One More frustration, when I go to the signal strength meters, I used to get the beep beep sound to indicate eeh signal strength. I don't get anything and yes, the volume is way up and loud.
What am I missing?
Thanks for the help in advance!
