Hello friends! The same questions keeps coming up on my emails and that topic is installing a dual LNB Christian satellite TV dish. First and foremost you must always follow the precise instructions provided to you in the Christian satellite dish package. Exercise all safety issues specified in the manual at all times. With that out of the way, in the very near future I will be updating the installation video from the single lnbf to the dual lnbf video on youtube. Now please watch the installation video and continue with these instructions. Youtube install video I have to drive home one of the most critical issues with an alignment of the Christian satellite dish or any other dish: You must start out with a perfectly plum pole or you will spend hours trying to align your dish.
http://www.idealsatelliteservices.co...tallPixs_1.jpg Remember follow the coordinates provided by the seller. Okay, remember the part where I suggested that you can place a hammer a little distance away from the dish, aiming in the direction you are to point the dish. You can also use a rope tied to the pole and then walk away with the rope in the precise direction the dish will have to point. http://www.idealsatelliteservices.co...tallPixs_6.jpg Another good tip is replacing the pivoting bolt that attaches to the pole brace with a galvanized bolt. The new bolt will be thicker than the one that came with the Christian satellite dish, http://www.idealsatelliteservices.co...tallPixs_2.jpg naturally stabilizing the dish for alignment. Then set your elevation for your area. This trick will pay for itself, trust me. That is the first thing I do when I install the Christian satellite dish and I have installed my share of them. Now, let’s get to the dual LNBs. It is not that difficult to do. The first step is to get the right distance on the LNBs shown on the picture (3/4 in or 22m) http://www.idealsatelliteservices.co...tallPixs_5.jpg The next step is to set your rotation. Your LNBs will set to negative on the West coast and positive on the East coast. http://www.idealsatelliteservices.co...tallPixs_4.jpg Here in my town in Idaho the rotation for my Christian satellite TV dish is -15,so if you’re facing the dish with the LNBs pointing toward you, the LNBs will lean to the right. Now, to acquire your signal on AMC-4 (LNB-1) please find 3abn channel on your receiver. 3abn has a strong signal and it will make your job easier. At this point I would also recommend getting yourself a satellite finder. It will make the alignment scan more sensitive as you pass by the transmission signal. Here is a link for a good one WINEGARD SF1000 Satellite Finder Keep a close eye on the quality. The level that we want to achieve is right around 50 to 60. (You have to split the difference between AMC-4 and G-19) Once you have an image (3abn channel on amc-4) on your Christian satellite system, change your channel on the satellite receiver to the Hope channel. Hope Channel has a weaker signal so try to get 40 to 50 on your quality bar. When you tune the weakest channel, you will maximize all the others. Now that you have signal on AMC-4 lets get started with G-19. Scan for a channel like Daystar and confirm that you have good quality. If need be try to fine tune your dish you can but only fine tune by gradual bits. That should do it. One more tip for you: Use a small self-tapping screw and drive it through the pole bracket and the pole to secure the dish from moving. Of course you must tighten everything down before you do this. Thanks again. Don’t forget check back later for the video on installing the dual lnbf Christian satellite dish. Last edited by IdealSAT; 05-23-2010 at 10:45 AM. Reason: Changing Glorystar to Christian satellite dish or TV, thank you. |
