All works very well from 42E to 30w.Hope you get sorted. |
thanks - ive been struggling for almost a month now (on and off). Glad im not the only one - I thought the instructions were a joke.
I can get a signal when i mess around with it and loosen sections but i cant get the arc
Ive emailed sat superstore where I got it from and hopefully with their help I'll get sorted
At the moment ive manually moved it to 19East where i get most of what I want. I wont be going up on the roof again till next weekend!!
Been on the roof 50 times this weekend me thinks. Im not going up again unless I have some clue as to what im supposed to do - this guess-work (go up, fiddle around with meter/motor/dish, come back down, go back up is running thin). Fortunately I have a flat (walk-on) roof - if it was a ladder on wall job id have gone mad already
