May Max HD can not find more than a handful of HD channels.
I have a Bell 18 inch dish with 2 LNBs and have tried different settings as well as cannel scan, blind scan, also reloading the file, no luck.
Can anyone help please?

The signal is good. I don't think that is the problem.

You can have Vertical signal good but Horizontal too low!

Those channels are available or not?

Are you talking about IKS?

I am taking about IKS.
Here are some pictiures of the LNBs I am using. Do you know what type they are?
And no plymouth, that is not the case.
This is a picture of the LNBs I use, can you tell me what the settings for them should be?

OK for the LNB's but I don't know which satellites you are looking for and if those channels are available on the listing of your IKS provider!

With these infos, it will be easier to answer!

Is this a new problem or you have never taken these HD channels?

It dosent' have anything to do with provider or which sats I am serching. It can not find the HD Channels.
110, 119 are the sats I am looking at. Even with the factory bin the problem is the sam.

Yes I do.
As I said I can get just a few of the hd s mostly ppv.
I think the problem is LNB settings.

Well, I think that is the problem.
I tried Different settings, but in most cases there is signal for the SD but no signal for HD transponders exept for one or two of them.

18' dish is for one sat, you need 20" dish to get 2 sats .

Most of HD channels are on 110W and work fine with a 18"!

Chaf, it was originally used by Bell for 82 and 91. If Bell is using that dish for thier customers, it should be good enough. I am not home right now to mesure it again but it might be 20 inch.

Chaff go play with your stupid newbie!

Zagros

The Bell dish work fine on 110 and 119, the only problem is with the lower transponder frequencies on Anik F3 118.8W which need a special LNB!

I took 129W with a 18" in Quebec without any problem!
