    Transponders

    Good evening all, I have a linkbox 8000HD plus and I have a few questions.
    I am not being able to scan all the transponders on 118. The transponders are listed , but when scanned nothing is pulled in. I do have a fairly good signal, 92% intensity and 87% quality.
    Does anyone know what my issue might be? I am on the IKS server, can that be my problem?

    actually, no chevy
    It`s not a Linear bird, it`s a Circular bird but with a low frequency range.
    Them 119w and 118w combos work. As well there are separate low frequency Circular 118.8w LNBs.
    A normal Circular LNB will not work.

    Sounds like our friend does have the correct LNB

    any reason as to why I'm only getting certain channels from transponders and why not all the transponders are coming in?

    Ok here is the latest I've come up with. I re-connected my Limesat, updated the transponder list, re-alligned the dish ,scanned and picked up all the channels i'm looking for.

    When I connect my Linkbox 8000 hd to the same dish and scan , I do not pick up all the channels on 118 that I got with my Limesat.

    My question is , If I have the same dish settings, same dish allignment, same tp list, and same service provider, then why is it I can't pull in these channels on the Linkbox?

    Any kind of input would be helpfull.
