I've been on vacation and just spotted your post.
My LNB is a CalAmp 15deg C-band but NOT the PLL version, and a .6dB Ku, with
a Chaparral Corotor II plus feed horn. I have virtually no trouble with C-
band DVB or 4DTV recption, just the IPG. Ku band I have occasional trouble
with. That could be related to the alignment sensitivity. My dish is very
well aligned, but maybe not good enough for Ku digital.
The post from From: "Stop Humpin' My Leg Dawg!!" <scram@anon.com> about
purging memory and starting the IPG loading and retruning the the memory view
screen, has help me live with the problem. Basically what it does for me is
forces the receiver to stay in the IPG load mode until I end it by exiting
the memory screen. This allows me to get 2 days worth. That appears to be
the max the memory on the 905 sidecar can hold. The 920 may have more memory
allowing more days.
Take a look at his instructions and try it. It may help you get the entire
IPG.
