    What model of LNBF are you using? Sounds like you have had great results. I have less then par results with my mini-bud and I am thinking it is the LNBF and/or the receiver that I'm using. On 91 for instance, I am not receiving the CWs and the scrambled FOX channels come in strong - I may need to go and play with the LNB position again? lol.

    Will,
    im using a BSC421 C-band LNB. you have to enter the cw channels manually with the vpid and apid and pcr on 91w. they wont show up in a blind scan or even a tp scan. i had to go enter them in my receiver and then rebooted my receiver and voila i got the 3 cw channels at 65% with overcast and a bit of rain.
    here is a great list of fta channels. click on 91 and the cw are at the top

    I'm just scratching my head as to how you input pid numbers into an openbox. I couldn't on my openbox, I had to flash a file to my stb for those CW channels. Nonetheless, great thread and good to hear your having good results.

    you need a app called ali editor, you dump your tp file to usb open the tp file with ali editor then go search for the sat you want to edit , then you add the channels
    resave and re upload to the s9 :-)

    Sounds a bit complicated but whatever works. Awesome results with a 1m dish.

    Always a good sign when a member is testing c band fta. Unfortunately the s2 channels will not scan in, dish is too undersized.

    Of course it would Terry, I've used that lnbf before with great results- just found that ku signals were a bit weaker then what they should have been.

    Terry i read that the lnb that you posted is not good for the ku part, because the ku section is at the back and for the cband part you really need to push it as back as possible so the ku part would be out of phase.
