8W should be good. France 24 (10972V SR27500) and CNN International (11010H SR27500).

Motor elevation is about 36 degrees, not 37.4.

(90 - (53.4 + 0.7) = 35.9)

Offset compensator
Motor elevation

hi thanks for the reply any idea what my dish angle should be? thanks again waiting for your reply

I don't know the motor so don't know the kick on the motor stub but it should say in the instructions. Overall take off angle for due south will be 29 degrees (Sky dishes there are set to 20 degrees).

Some dish EL scales are not accurate enough. Start with the dish slightly up from vertical for your due South satellite.

Here is the general idea of how to calculate dish Elevation (taken for a moteck in this example) >
