To test the new Pico Sat-Tracker I just purchased, I hooked it up to a dbs
dish/lnb pointed and locked at 119o. Lyngsat has a few music and barker
channels listed as FTA. I ran the sat scan and it didn't find anything. The
Sat-Tracker LNB type is set to universal 13v/18v and E9 is listed in its Sat
table.

What am I doing wrong? Am I using the wrong type of lnb perhaps?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

LNB should be set as Ku with an L.O. frequency of 11250mhz. I use no
voltage settings to change polarity. I look @ Echostar-7 @119º. Indeed there
are music channels to be found. Try looking at listings on Lyngsat for E-7.
Be sure you're using a symbol rate( SR ) of 20000. A network scan of E-7
should find over 40 music channels easily and 3 or so fta video feeds.

Good luck

Thank you, the lnb setting did it!
I have 6 dish boxes as it is and can't add another one to my account, so now
at least now I can have a little jazz in the workshop
