How to start- info overload! Helppppp!

[john_graydon]

I have a page on screen with a big "W" and "1°"- is that a good sign? O-Ha

Do I now tighten up, plug all the cables/ motor back in and try to scan in another satellite (using the motor to move the dish now)?

You never know, search for the rest and STORE them .When you have what you want mark the dish and motor with a permanent marker and then tighten up. Also put a bit of vaseline on the threads to stop them rusting just in case you want to get a bigger dish. Well done .

Do I use the built-in "drive to" function of the DB & motor? ie when I select Astra 19.2E in Motor Setup and it says "moving dish to..." etc.? Will give it a try tomorrow.

Cheers.

You have to find them 1st then store them. Then the d box will go to that position you have stored them. Thats what i do anyway.

Ahh, is that because of the flaky GotoXX? Is one click left/right (direction) one degree?

Thanks again!

No you have to keep the left or right button down until you get the loc in the boxes. Then store and scan.

So if I select Astra 19.e (in Motor Setup) and turn the motor eastwards, it will lock when it reaches 19.2E? And then I can use Automatic Transponder scan?

What do you reckon the score will be tonight? 1-3? :-beer

Yes it should lock if your set up is right. Just keep watching for the X X Lock and then store. Probally 2-1 to Byern

Told ya, byern a bit hard to beat at home. Althogh they were lucky to win. We just switched off when we scored the 2nd.

My prediction is that we'll attack twice and score twice.

Hope that cheating &"%$£#@ Ballack still has some Stamford Bridge turf stuck between his teeth!

9.6, 9.4, 9.5....

Phew! That was close....

On the sat. front- is it normal for some channels to show fine and others pixelate from the same satellite (19.2E)?
