[tbird686]

How are you scanning 129 manual auto check your antenna settings and switch rf connectors lnbs

It could be a lack of power to the switches. Pinwheel puts out about 450 ma whereas nfusion hd puts out 1000 ma

when looking for 129w put it on transponder 12516 and then scan

[whoknows]

Don't think he is looking for 129 as he has 100% quality.

****************

To the OP, you could try scanning straight through, no switch and see if scan improves. That way of scanning always gives best results. Then hook switch back up and see if all is good. let us know.

[riverman]

what are your switch settings? You have 5 satellites. You presumably have a disecq with a 22khz switch.

[tbird686]

i use a motor

i do set it to 12516...

can i boost the power some how?

and i'm using the 2.8 file

[riverman]

whats the signal strength you are getting on 129? Do you have the 8psk module installed as transponder 12516 is SD. Whats your signal like on HD transponders (21500). Do you get HD channels on 82 example 1400 TSN?

[tbird686]

just laoded the 2.9 and am tryng again........i plan to do 129 first....

i looked at transponder....12370/v/21500 and its 94% s and Q 89%

then on
12355/v/21500

12341/v/21500 ............i get 0


i;ll scan what i have now

[tbird686]

well i got 89 channels that time.......

still missing more than half. I have all the satellites that you are pointed at and not missing any channels using the pro model but with switches. Could there be anything in the way. How many channels do you scan in on 82?

[DualTest]

You could try running 129 straight through to the receiver and bypass the switches to count them out as the problem.

He doesn't have any switches. He is using a motor

[tbird686]

129-98
119-476
110-235
91-527
82-314


i have not done anything different with the dish its in the same spot when we ran the nfusion.......only thing new is snow....

[holly2012]

You should have way more then 235 channels on 110 probably around 550 a few more on 119 as well.91 and 82 are about right.When you scan make sure its scanning V and H T/ps Its best scan your sats on a nice sunny day especially for 129 its so low in the horizon Remove any snow from the dish as well

[tbird686]

okay i'll try...........hey were did i put that broom!!!

[tbird686]

I just posted in another thread but thought i would ask here too can anyone make and share a channel list with me......for 82 91 110 119 129......even an already edited one.....we watch only english channel

[tbird686]

I dont get it i tried to scan in 129 again once i got 28 channel then tried again got 100 tried again only 28 i put my nfusion on and scan 129 and get over 300....i have good signal and quality on the transponders......just weard

[the_prof]

what kind of LNB's are you using. If they are the one's that were called standard on other receivers you should use KU-LNB. I had similar problems when I first got my receiver and once I switched to KU-LNB I was able to scan in over 500 stations.

[tbird686]

Its a standard lnb.......the thing is i get all the channels i think with 82 91 110 119 just 129 with the pin wheel is the problem.....but ill look into what you mentioned.

I really dont like the lack of guide on bell......it does not load up.....with my nfusion it gives me 2 hours at least and i dont do anything.

[tbird686]

Ok i went to the kn setting changed my local frequency to 11250 and itp to 12516 and scanned i have 66 signal and 99 quality and i got 24 channels......

[tbird686]

Bump.

Well i have time again today to play with the pin wheel and same thing 24 channels on 129.....and its a nice day out. Has anyone else had a problem and fixex it for 129.....

I run a motor i scanned in 110 and 119 nicely.



Update i guess it was me.......my dish must be a little off i bumped the dish east a littke and saved it and scanned....so far 194 channels .......i can live with that.....might have to bump it east a bit more and try again.....

[mark64]

it has to be the ls400 or ls500 tuner in your mini or your 129 isn't good enough on lock

Between the 3 birds you should get close to 1500 channels in total. If you are not, I would suggest that your motorized dish is a bit out of alignment.
