The KU side is problematic. C band is fairly broad. You can be off a little to the top/bottom/left/right. KU is not at all forgiving. Depending on the tightness of the mount on your dish you can be totally on or totally off the signal with only a 3 or 4 count difference. If your dish is wire mesh, it doesn't have as high a gain as a perforated dish of the same size. With some mounts, the final dish position will be different depending on whether you came to the position from the east or west. Add that to the fact that, with digital, you have to have all the parameters "nuts on," as the kids say, to get a picture. With analog, "close enough" got you remnants of a picture that you could use to peak the dish. It is a problem. Having or borrowing a specturm analyzer will allow you to see the signal level off the satellite so that you can set the position in the memory. It will also allow you set the cross pole. Failing that, it is just a matter of luck finding signals. Optimize your C band reception on one of the dual C/KU birds and try to find a signal on either pole. Lyngsat is your friend.
