Hello all
i could do with a little help
i live on the isle of man and recently bought a technomate 6900 a 1m dish and a motech 2100 motor. the problem being i am not getting any satellites.i have read other posts and i seem to be doing it right but am getting no further.
i have put the dish up south facing and 100% level and plum
my position is 54 degrees north and 4.3 west
i have set the dish elevation at 36 which is 54 degrees latitude on the other side of the bracket and the dish bracket angle at 22 degees( i got this figure by taking the declination angle of 7.6 away from 30 which is in the manual)
so heres were it goes wrong
i am facing south trying to get Atlantic bird at 5 degrees west i have used dishpointer and am getting 89% signal strenght but only 2%quaity and no picture.
i have set the technomate up at 54 n and 4.3 w and just below the dish
i have a window were i have setup a portable tv up so i can move the dish up/down and side to side to no avail.i have even pluged a feed into the motor from my sky dish to make sure this works on astra 28.2 which it does the only thing i can think is its a faulty lnb but i am getting brain ache now.
Any help would be most welcome!
Cheers
Shaun
