i am ok with my pansat 3500s bin ok and did blind scan for channels and all ok, now i want to watch some fta channels from : satmex5" i have a 5' dish with and old lnbf (came with a analog receiver got from radio shack and worked good on old days 8 years ago or so) i aim to satmex5 did blind scan and get only one channel "canal 11 onduras" but this is the only one.
this is my setup
diseqc switch to pos-3 , 22khz off, standard lnb 5150
lnb information c band on 5' aluminum dish
voltage controled h/v
input 3.7 to 4.2 ghz
output 950 to 1450 mhz
noise 25k, gain 62 db

question also, just get a new ku band universal quatro lnb from ebay
can i use it to get satmex5 (linear transmition)

I'm not familiar w/ Satmex 5, but yor current LNB is clearly c-band, and a 5' dish is awfully small for c-band. A KU band LNB is going to do alot better with a dish that size, but I don't know what KU band programming is on Satmex5.

i jused this dish with same original lnb on old analog receiver years ago and was getting several satellites ok.

question also, just get a new ku band universal quatro lnb from ebay
can i use it to get satmex5 (linear transmition)
Hope you mean quad lnb, quattro's are mostly used for distribution systems with more than 4 receivers such as apartment buildings, etc. Has 4 ouputs - 2 Linear (high & low) and 2 circular (high & low) outputs. If i remember correctly, when hooked to stb without a multiswitch of sort (not recommended), only one polarization with either high or low can be viewed at a time.

An universal quad on the other hand has four outputs, for four receivers. :sad:

i got the quatro but not tried it yet, the one i tried is the original lnbf (c band) that came withe the dish and old analog receiver long time ago. the quattro ku band lnb i still need to get the dish for it , i think this will be offset and not on the center like the old c band lnd , i have the spects of the c band lnb on my 1st post and i can still get only one channel on it (old c band lnbf)

finaly i got it to work, i had only 2 channels, cutted a tree that was on the way and now i got more and also the one i was looking for, this is with the big dish abd old c band lnb

i have a 33" dish with old ku band lnd, and i got sat 105 with lot of channels, i swapped the lnb ans places a quattro universal ku-lnb (supose to be 2-low and 2-high) and i don't get anything with it, (did not moved dish) placed pld ku-lnb back and works, does the brand new quatro lnb is defective?
