Hi
I am hoping some of you guys out there might be able to help me. Please be gentle though I am a novice.
I am helping a friend setup a satellite system and we have problem.
The sytem is erected and cabled and we are able to move the dish via the Receiver. However, I'm we have angle related problems.
1st of all the kit we are using;
1. Echostar PVR5020 Receiver (supports DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS)
2. Manhatten HH140 ALU supports DiSEqC 1.2 + Goto X
3. 1Metre Televes dish
4. Alps universal dual LNB
We are at Lat: 51:01:54N (51.0318) Lon: 0:15:50W (-0.2638)
Please note :
I am having problems working out how to set the dish. The motorised mount has a scale on the side in degrees. These seems pretty clear cut we are 51 degrees latitude so according to the documentation we set the pointer on the side of the mount to 51 degrees.
The next problem is that the mount for th edish attaches via some more braketry that also has a scale in degrees on it. This is where I get lost. This seems to set the elavation of the dish but when I follow the instruction in the HH140 manual and set this for my latitude it looks like the dish is pointing down rather than up
Does any one have any ideas.
thanks
