        Hi. I dont think its the LNB.. Its the way you are positioning them. I also suspect that your dish is not focus properly for all 3 satellites. Why dont you try and get 2 out of 3 satellites working ok and then concentrate on the third by moving the LNB with your hand slowly acroos the dish to see if you pick up a picture on your tv. If you lived in London i would have sorted it out for you.

        Take care.

            Hooray nice to know you are making progress.. May be a silly question but did you ever think of having a motor instead of 3 lnb's?? In my opinion a lot cheaper and probably less hassle.

                  I be honest with you in that i have installed loads of dishes/motors and never used a meter. I know where the satellites are - you just need steady hands and good eyesight and a lot of patience.

                  Regards.

                            Yep! its only taken 10 days and a 7 page thread to get it done LOL, Only joking mate big pat on the back gives you that extra warm glow when you know you did it yourself.

                                Hi popeye.. Its not a question of good eyesight. Its to do with knowing where the sats are and when you have installed so many dishes and motors it becomes like clockwork.. thats why i dont need sat meters. Its very easy to find satellites if you remember that west is right and east is left..and you need steady hands.
                                Take care.
