My System: 90cm channel master, jaeger 1224 ,vantage x221tsci, skystar 2, diablo v2.3, setanta on 60cm minidish

also make sure your wall mount is 100% level otherwise you will have issues when tracking the arc east/west

yes use either 1west or 5west to align up once you have correctly entered your location coordinates in the usals menu on the receiver.

on the dish elevation i found on my dish the marking wasn't correct so just start from figure given in the motor manual and tweak it from there for best signal.

no this is correct some motors have both so just set it to 56 as the other side just tells you what it is in degrees thats all

yes once you have got the alignment to the reference satellite correct everything else will be found
