[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1016322, member: 187442"] Forget the motor elevation markings. I can think of a few possible reasons, why the cheap dish is beating the Channel Master: 1. The CM is heavier and the pole isn't sturdy enough, for the weight. 2. The CM dish is damaged/warped. 3. The LNB/Feedhorn isn't set correctly. The Jaeger 1224, has two adjustments, you can make: The Large bolt, at the bottom, and the smaller one, on the top. You keep adjusting both of these, to get the motor to track the satellite arc, correctly, but as stated the lip can cause a problem, and make it tricky to get it tracking completely. You have to always move the dish back to your True South, in your case 1W, to make the adjustments, then send your dish East, and West, to check the signal quality levels. Hopefully some photographs will make it easier, to spot where the problem might lie. [/QUOTE]
