hi, i will hopefully be installing a motorised setup at the weekend and i have done a fair amount of reading, however i am still unclear on a couple of things. this is my system: technomate 1500ci+ super, technomate disceqc motor, 0.2 lnb, and a 90cm dish. i live i hellesdon, norfolk, east anglia.
1, once i have attatched the dish and motor to my ground stand, what direction MUST the dish be pointing to start with? what angle also?
2, once i have done that, do i just turn my receiver on and search for all satellites or is it not as simple as that? i have other peoples comments and got confused as some say it must be pointing directly south, and others say to have it pointing at thor 1w so it can sweep across the arc of satellites?
3, are there any other measurements i need to know longitude/latitude etc?
4, any advice?
thanks very much to anybody who has the kindness to help me out. thanks.
