I have my FTA Pansat set up for Echo Star 6/8 and Echostar 7 on a separate dish, those are working fine. i just got an 80 cm dish from Winegard and i am trying to find Echostar 9, i get the signal but no quality. am i getting no signal because i'm not focused on the proper dish. Any help with dish pointing would be appreciated. First time setting up a dish.
Thanks

Make sure you're using a linear lnb for 121w (echo9).

You might want to check out this software:

If you already ARE using a linear lnb, check on your receiver that the settings for its frequency are set to: 10750 instead of 11250.

I've lowered the dish to the co ordiantes on the satfinder website, but still unable to get the quality signal. I have the Universal Twin LNB 0.3dB Horn. is there a site for settings of the LNB?

What are your settings for Echo9 in your Pansats Antenna Setup screen?
Try setting LNB Type to Universal - 10600
Turn on 22Khz
