Hello,
I am trying to set up a zone 2 mini dish and have run into problems. Firstly,
the elevation scale is not clear...the gradations go from 20degrees to 90 but there is no pointer? It is a Raven zone 2 60cm.
Now I have managed to get a signal...90% signal , 22% quality and was able to see some Italian channels on Astra 19.2, but if I unplug the cable, I still get the same levels, 90 and 22. By the way, this is on an estimated elevation of the dish of about 30 degrees from the vertical, which I believe is much too high. The dish should be vertical, right?
I have looked at the dishes near me and most are near vertical, but I have seen some non sky dishes elevated like mine. Could this be a reflection or interference? Should I go back to trying the dish near vertical?
