I have several questions:
1) when adding 118.7W to my cw600s it always change it automatically from 118.7West to 118.7East for some reason which I don't know!
2) Is the name of satellite and direction when adding new sat to ur receiver is really important, or it's just a way for distinguishing one SAT from another as the receiver will automatically read the satellite name anyways when it gets the signal??
3) Is there a way to reprogram my CS600S to include the new satellite?
4) My dish was pointing orginally at 121W, I think that 121W from 119W is not far away and needn't much repositioning if I'm not mistaken. Anyways, I changed my LNB to the circular 11.7-12.7 that they claim it receives both 119 and 118.7, I started searching and I got almost 100 channels on 119W but many are of very weak signal quality of about 25%. I tried to play with it to change azimuth and tilt it but the signal doesn't get any better. my question, are TPs different in terms of signal strength? and if so, what transponders should I use to measure signal quality while pointing my dish for 119W, 118.7W and 110W?
5) I beleive that if the satellite is well pointed at a certain satellite then the receiver should be able to read the satellite name and direction. Where in CW600s I can see receiver name while poitning the satellite? and why when I search satellites like 119W I see channels as if they were under 121W?
6) I got a signal meter where to find a good azimuth-elevation calculator to start repointing using the signal meter? |

I dunno about your cs, but vs do not have the 118 in the list.
most likely, cs could be the same as vs, either create a new sat or modify 121, if use 121, delete all tps and add 11715-20000-H-7/8 to the list, if you have the signal/quality on that tp, a scan will be able to pick up the rest of the tps and channels from there.
try to peak the 119 then skew 110/118 with dishpointer.com
119 and 118 uses different freq in the settings, 119 = 11250, 118 = 10600/10750 most likely to be 10750.
good luck. |
