Hi, im thinking of moving to sirius 5e but I have no motor so have to climb a ladder. I just wanted to know where to move the dish from hotbird to find sirius. I also wanted to know the smallest dish size I could possibly get away with, Thanks in advance | ||

My System: 1.2M & 55cm Gregorian Dish`s, 1.5m Gibertini on a Jaeger 1224 H-H motor. Dreambox 7025 200gb HD, Vbox-II. SS2 Card. | looking from behind the dish swing it to the right, and up. Are you using a meter? If not you will find it hard.

My System: star-sat SR-X5D Receiver Premium X LNB 120" Dish Computer system: AMD Atlon XP 64 x2 6400+ Black Edition 4GB DDR2 Bus 800 RAM MB: Asus Crosshair 750 GB Seagate Barracuda 32 MB cache 22" LCD Widescreen Samsung 226BW SB Platinum Pro. | For tuning by yourself without any signal finding system, my experiences said that the swiss channels are the best for manual research, but I'm not sure whether the wickness of the swiss channels are the same on other satellites or no. | ||
