iDirect on Intelsat802

Check your tuning calculations.  What is the downlink carrier frequency?. What is the LNB local oscillator frequency?. What is the iDirect receiver set to? Are symbol rate, modulation, FEC all pre-set correctly? If the LNB is dual frequency do you need to set the LNB volts to 13 or 18 volts or turn a 22 kHz tone on or off ? Is the LNB connected to the receive waveguide with the rectangular waveguide holes and rectangular hole in any gasket all aligned?.

Do you have the correct downlink polarisation ?  Is it the same as the TV programme you received or is it at 90 deg to it ?

Is the LNB connected with good F connectors ?  Are the F type centre pins long enough? do they go in properly ?  Is the LNB DC power selected to ON ?

If you are using some hand power meter to detect LNB signals the signal should be lower when the feed is pointed at the cold sky as compared with your warm hand.

If the replacement feed horn is lower down or higher up on the end of the arm then the dish will need repointing in elevation to find the satellite.   Moving the feed horn up or down moves the beam down or up.
If you have not done dish pointing before note that the peaking up process, after you have found the satellite, requires much time and effort.

Just a few thoughts..
