Motorised system setup help required

Using USALS, send your dish to 5 West and fine tune on that satellite, providing your mast is plumb and your motor elevation is set correctly, you will be pretty much spot on for the rest of the arc.

Yep. As rolfw says here

Hi,
OK looking at the chart provided by STAB website the stored satellite positions indicate the Telecom 2B,2D satellites located at 5W. So I should head toward these as my starting point. Please correct me if this is not so before I start messing about on the roof again. The weather isn't too kind right now so I want to be sure before I embark on another excercise.
Thanks all.

Flysat and lyngsat both list Atlantic Bird 3 at 5W.
11591V loooks strong with FTA channels on it too.

Hi,

Of the 28 satellite positions pre-programmed into the HH90, Atlantic Bird at 5W is not one of them. However if I go to the one listed at 5w I should hopefully be able to get a signal from one of them and make the necessary adjustments to get the max signal.

Since the weather is abysmal I dare not go up onto the roof so this excercise will have to wait for another day.

Thanks all.

Any Luck? I have just bought myself one and have not even bothered installing it yet ... As I have to psych myself up first!

This seems like mission impossible!

It's a doddle if you are patient and methodical
