[QUOTE="meldrew, post: 477452, member: 176182"] Hope this does not confuse! I set up a motor last weekend and it seems reasonably OK. My learning curve included: - You have to set an angle on BOTH the motor and dish brackets. - After connecting to Hotbird I adjusted the dish elevation manually for a stronger signal quality. - The motor itself has to point due south. I did this with a pole, a spirit level and the sun at 12 noon (may not apply in Scotland!) - USALS never seemed to get me close enough so I used DiSeq working my way from one satellite to another. - The default transponders on an oldish receiver seemed out of date so I put in up to date ones from Lyngsat. Let us know how you get on! Meldrew [/QUOTE]
