[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 145486, member: 176912"] You need to either get a sat meter, or persist with finding 1W manually. Tune the receiver to BBC world (FTA) on 1W (I assume that this is due south for you), make sure the motor reading says zero on the casting, yes ZERO, then rotate the whole motor on the pole by slackening the clamps and making very small movements and re-locking it up. Alternate between that and making very small movements up and down on the DISH mount. As Rolf says, completely FORGET driving the motor electrically until you have DEF. found 1W. If your mounting pole is exactly vertical, and you find 1W like this (easier with a meter, but not impossible without) the rest is a walk in the park. Really. We don't like to let folks give up here :D We will haunt you O-Ha [/QUOTE]
