[QUOTE="keano, post: 504786, member: 177234"] m8 I have just install my new dish and moteck 2100 this afternoon. Make sure motor is at zero and at the side you want 53.5 latitude. Put dish on the motor and make sure it is perfectly in the center. Then tighten down but not over tighten, then using your hands turn the motor on the pole, so everything moves to where you think 1.0w is once you think you have found 1.0w then adjust the dish ( not the latitude on the motor ) up and down until you find the strongest point and tighten. So now you have dish pointing at 1.0w with the motor set to 0 and the dish is at the right angle for its peak signal. Now drive to dish to the west and find 30.0w, then drive dish to the east and find 42.0e. Its really not that hard, you just have to find 1.0w and make sure the moteck is set to 53.5 then the rest should follow. Make sure your pole is perfectly vertical, if need be use a spirit level to check. [/QUOTE]
