Dear Forum
I have had a 120cm dish with a DisEqC motor installed by a local firm. My receiver is a Topfield TF7700HSCI, it has USALS. I live in Nottingham UK (53.0N, 1.2E).
When I look at the footprint maps and dish size figures on Lyngsat should I be able to pick up what it suggests?
Last night I was seeing how far east I could go I only managed to pick up anything up to 28.2E wasn’t getting any channels after that.
If we take Intelsat 7/10 at 68.5E (http://www.lyngsat.com/intel68.html) on the Africa & Europe beam (http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/intel10_afreur.html). Looks to me that dish size and footprint are fine. So why can’t I get it? Possibly a dish setup problem? Are there other factors?
Also the mount is an L shape that points upward, it wobbles a lot, is this a problem?
Cheers.
