LNB frequency help please for NSS6

Jonte · #1 (**permalink**) 02-22-2004

I have a Benjamin Twin Dual Pol KU Band LnbF
Inp:- 10.95 - 11.7 gb
Gain:- 55db
IF:- 950 - 1750 mhz
Model:- BEC-152

I have a Penta 85 dish

I am trying to tune into NSS6 and with a sat meter i get a very good strength.

The problem i am finding is that what frequency should i set the lnb freq to on in my humax 5400.

The specs for the LNB are above.

What frequency from NSS6 has the strongest signal to scan with.
Below i have attahced a couple of pics of dish with alignment etc

Thanks for your help

jonte try twisting your lnb around to about 45 deg clockwise and see if the signal improves, from the photo your lnb is pointing straight down thats not right for nss6. picture your dish rotating on a motor at due north the lnb would be straight up and down going east or west the lnb would rotate to different angles not straight up and down. hope it helps

firstly you need a universal lnb otherwise forget it.
using a satellite meter peak [not a decorder ] the weakest signal which is bluekiss freq on the meter is 1328 18v[hz].you will see 2 spikes the top one is bkiss.

Ok the LNB i had was no good i found out.
I have bought a universal lnb which i am now going to put on and i will rotate the klnb 45 degrees

Will post results soon.

Should the LNB frequency on a humax be set at UNIVERSAL??

You just answered your own question Jonte.
Yes set it as Universal

Hey Jonte,

It's time you got some longer coax. It must be pretty uncomfortable watching tv from your roof all the time.
