Today I set about my motorised system set up, starting with 12" t&k brackets, followed by the Disecq 1.2 HH120 Stab motor then the 80cm dish, waited for 12noon (no compass) and pointed to the sun which was glorious by the way, set the elevation and pointed with the help of a meter to 1 west I thought, went inside to set up my new Interstar DSR 8005 CI Premium (patched) but NO GO!She who must be obeyed was watching showjumping on the beeb (a rarety indeed). 2 hours of nervous waiting, 3 mugs of tea, 10 fags later I set up the receiver, switched on, went through the setup and channel installation for 1West and would you believe it I was 1deg out on my calculation for 1west. but don't it feel great anyway?.
Play ended for the night after successfully moving the motor to 13E and tuning all the channels. Will be setting about it properly this week.
Hooray for me.
Cheers for the forum and all the info on it, could not have done it without you, though its not over yet.
