Just getting started

I have a new Pansat 3500sd,have it recieving,without moving the existing dish........ using the latest download.
Quality signal is strong on Gc3k*..........nothing on any others,I was wondering why I dont get the channels I was recieving on Dish before testing,maybe I am searching the wrong place ? Ran all the satellites I saw,with 0 Quality signal with the exception of Gc3k*.
Any tips on dish pointing ?.................thanks for all the good advice & happy testing

Re: Just getting started

If you have a dish aimed for DN, then you should still get all the channels. Describe your Dish and in particular, your LNB. The LNBs are sometimes called the "eyes". See if there is any printing on it. The most common is a Dish 500 with a Dish Pro Twin LNB. The LNB might have big black DP letters on it.

Let me know, and I can give you the settings and instructions.
