[QUOTE="T_G, post: 66770, member: 175083"] How about this: The motor and the dish have elevation adjustments. Get your motor instructions out, it should tell you how much to set up the motor angle related to your Longitude/Latitude. Then you need to set up the dish for the elevation. In case you don't have any markings on the dish, you will have to find it "manually". Put the motor in the position using a compass etc, or just where you think you should have it. So how to set it up: Put in a fresh image, and set the options to "disecq". Then go to the "go to xx" and put in your Longitude/Latitude. Then go and choose Thor for instance. The motor now should move to the position where it believes Thor is. If you get a picture, fine. If not, you need to go on the roof and find the sat. DON'T MOVE THE DISH WITH THE DREAMBOX!!! If you got someone to help, put him on the phone and go to the roof. I use a baby phone next to the TV speaker, and take the other with me. Then I move the dish until I suddenly hear the channel. You will find that if you had the correct angle of the motor, and your pole is straight you will find it. Also, if Thor does not give you a good signal, use another one as close to 0 deg. [/QUOTE]
