[QUOTE="sjude, post: 30159, member: 175137"] Hello Rolfw. I tried to fix the motorised system for my dish but could not get 62E. I have a Dawoo Digital receiver which has a Signal Level Meter (display) and it shows Signal Strength & Quality. I could get a Signal Strength of about 98% but no Quality. Moving the dish up/down & polar mount left/right, I could get the best signal strength. I think for quality I need to get the channel frequency/symbol rate correct. I am not sure if my Universal LNB can get C or Ku band because this receiver does not have Intelsat902/62E satellite data. But I tried moving the dish with the Actuator to the right (West) and had the Signal Strength always above 90%. I also move the dish (moving motor) to the maximum East end and tried getting Nilesat but failed. I removed the dish from the polar mount and fixed it back to the vertical pole (where originally mounted) and could get Nilesat again. I will try again but this time will use a Compass for due south position. I have a few question. 1. I have a Nokia dish which is not round but slightly oval in shape. The LNB is mounted with only one arm from the side. It is a fixed arm. When I move from Left to right by motor the dish tilts sideways. Will the center of the dish stay right. 2. My current dish is mounted already on a bracket which can be tilted up and down. I did not move that. I kept that settings and dismounted from the vertical pole and directly mounted on the polar mount on the pole. Maybe this is a problem. I need to first keep the dish parallel to the pole first - Right ? I realised all this after refixing for Nilesat. Hope I can do it again some other time. Is a Diseq motor better than a Polar mount. With this polar mount I need to use the adapter for moving the dish. My receiver does not have output for 36VDC but has 3 connectors - 5V, Gnd & Pulse. regards, Jude [/QUOTE]
