I just got a Limesat Ultra and have it set up with a oval 23x36 or so dish comes in fine and works great. I set up anothe dish 19x30 or so for 91&82 I get 82 just fine using a nf phoenix as a meter but cannot get 91, using the default seeting for tp and all in the stb I can get 82 on both lnb's so I know they work I am hooked up straight from lnb to the stb. 91 used to be easier to find for me than 82 now it's the opposite any ideas? Standing behind the dish 91 is to the left of 82 and below a bit? Thanks for any help you can give me.
lnb's are just standards. cable is good, switch is good. Nothing in line of sight in the way.

Got all the bearings for my area from dishpointer I'm getting 82 with very good S&Q so 91 has got to be very close 10* difference or so, but thanks for the link, looks like the same program I used. What TP should I use for aiming 91? The default on my stb is 12224.

Actually it is 9 degrees from 82.(91-82=9) lol.

12224 should work fine. Have to remember that 91 is now the weaker sat of the 2. If you find 82, then it should only be a matter of skewing your dish to get 91. When finding 91 only connect that LNB to the receiver(do not use switches at this time). Once you find both sats separately, then add in the switches.:yes:

Took a closer look at the tree situation and there was one that was just on the edge of the line of sight about 20 yards away. Well with all the snow it was enought to block the signal, moved the dish 3 feet to the right and instantly the signal from 91 came in strong and of course 82 was right there as well. I did put the inline boosters on both dishes and good results at the STB . Thanks all for your help and good watching to you all.
