Hi Guys
Finally installed setup, after some hiccups, but being a novice at this i am having some problems.
I have no signal quality, but 60% on strength, which means I am not on the satellite I should be. Correct?
I have followed the guides from this forum to set it up, but I am getting conflicting information, from 2 other sources.
1) Dishpointer.com tells me that 0.8w is down my street over the pub (See pic dispoint2 and dishpoint1).
2) this compass tells me that thor 1/2/3 is pointing more towards astra 2, and this is at ground level.
I have pointed at both sites but still do not get any signal quality.
I have also tried adjusting the skew on LNB but nothing
I have set lat/long in my receiver as well.
Leaving it for today will try again tomorrow but this is getting annoying now.
See attached pics for setup.
What do you guys think.
My setup is:
Fortec Star Sigma box
80cm Metronic dish
Fortec Star FCKUVN lnb
NIkkai (maplin own) Motor.
Thanks
