Hi all
Hopefully someone can point me in right direction.
I have an Echostar AD3600i , .3Invacom LNB, 1m Eliptical dish and H-H motor.
At present I have the following satellite reception percentages
Astra 28E 85%
Astra 19E 90%
Hotbird 85%
Thor 1W 80%
When i get to 15W the signal is dropping to 50% and Hispasat 30W i am getting no signal at all ! I have been able to get 30W about 18 months ago but since i had some bad weather it is showing no signal.
As the others are all very high % i thought i must be "on" or very close to the "satellite arc" so why am i not picking up 30W (even as a low %).
Does this mean my elevation angle needs adjusting and if so which way (up or down). I manually adjust satellite positions E or W sometimes but in this case it doesnt work.
If anyone can shed some light on this i would really appreciate it.
Thanks
