[QUOTE="s*t*a*r*m*a*n, post: 67280, member: 175004"] Sorry you are having so many problems i know how you feel because i was just like you when i set up my motorised system a few years ago. Im not familiar with that motor but the principles are the same. I do agree that the dish is looking just too far up, it should be a lot more vertical (straight) with a sllight inclination. Aim for 1 west and forget about all the other satellites until you get this satellite, tune in the free satellite channels on 1 west into progdvb or whatever program you are using and make sure all the settings are right in the software such as having the lnb power on :D i used a cheap sat bleeper which costs about a tenner i think,when the lnb picks up the satellite it beeps and gets higher, i never could have set the system up without one because its digital and there is no real way of knowing without one. Dish inclinations never are that accurate and you also have to consider that it only takes a small amount of innacuracy in the dish mount to miss the satellite arc. Go get a cheap bleeper and a small amount of satellite cable. and get the little lnb cable thingies that fit onto the lnb wire (forgot what they are called). Connect the lnb to the bleeper and back out to the lnb wire going into the house. you listen through the attached earpiece,when the pitch goes up you are on a satellite. Just tune the channels for the sat you think you are on and go from there. Are there any dishes around you? find out what sats they are on and that will give you a fair idea of roughly where you want to be pointing the dish :) sorry i cant be of much better help but i found it impossible to set up a motorised system without some kind of meter. A fixed dish system is easy enough but with a motorised systemit has to be perfectly on the satellite arc at 1 west so that when the dish moves the other satellites line up correctly. this is the sort of thing i mean [url]http://www.creativesatellite.co.uk/en-gb/dept_17.html[/url] under satellite bleeper (first item - cheap but works) [/QUOTE]
