I am testing Charlie and Dave in Jamaica and i am having problems getting signal, ok i have a 6 foot round dish
a single lnb i get the 101 sat. on Dave, same setup but charlie receiver i can get 110 or 119, with single lnb i only get 1 satellite, so i am trying to get charlie 110 and 119 or Dave hd sat. 101,110,119. I was told that the dish i have is B band only so i need a slim line dish and a 3 lnb. I have both and i check the settings for Jamaica Longitude -77.2975 Latitude 18.1096 Elevation 47.2 Azimuth 244-250 Dish skew 31.2. I set the dish to these settings on a flush post but i cannot get any signal at all. With round dish and single lnb i get these satellite but with dual or tripple lnb i cannot get anything.Can someone check this out for me and help me get this setup

You need to check with "satbeams.com" to see if your within the footprints for the satellite service your looking to use, go to the link below and see what your up against.

Select the satellite from the list and click on the little globe, this will give you the footprints available on the satellite.

You could be having trouble getting the 3 LNBs to switch correctly. And there is a need for B band converter for one of the LNB but I'm not sure which. You have some info coming in in the standard 950-1450MHz range, more in the 1450-2150MHz band and then some in the 250-950MHz B band part.

Thanks you all, i checked out satbeams.com very interesting site,thanks Terryl, and as for the B band converter i tried that on the hd receiver still got no signal and also my hd receiver will not load data so when i power up it would do searching for satellite signal then step 2 it would take a while then says receiver cannot download data, so i am trying to catch signal with a standard receiver first then see if it downloads data
