Hi Everyone,
I've got a 0.8m dish setup on a motor in Birmingham but I'm having a couple of issues I'm hoping you could help me with.
Firstly, instead of using USALS the dish was setup via the very tedious process of finding a signal, searching for channels, identifying which satellite it is i'm receiving (via kingofsat etc) adding all the channels then using the STB to move the dish and find the next satellite etc.
This has worked relatively well and I can access most birds in the east (0.8w, 4e, 7e, 9e, 10e, 13e, 15.8e, 19.2e, 23.5e and 28.2e)
However, 2 problems I have are that I can't find any dishes in the west further than 0.8w. Ideally I'd like to be able to get Nilesat at 7w and Hipasat at 30w, but I cant get any signal quality when I move the dish further than 1w. Secondly, on 1w I don't get any signal quality on the Horizontal transponders. I can get quality of around 80-90% on vertical but not horizontal.
All feedback or suggestions appreciated.
(Please bear in mind I didn't install this dish and have no experience in the physical side of getting on the roof and fiddling around with angles etc!
Thanks
Andy
