oh does it matter how long the cable is to the receiver from the dish??

The satfinder type meter will only advise you of a change in signal strength, the little knob is used to attennuate the signal for better peaking. So you s-l-o-w-l-y move the dish until the satfinder increases in tone, find the position where it gives the highest tone and nip up the bolts on the dish, then check on the receiver by scanning on a known good frequency, repeat until you hit the required satellite.


PS. 28m of cable should be fine, providing it is good quality satellite cable.

you know the DISEqC 1.2 well i have seemed to have broken the 2 plastic pins the ones for moving it from east west does it matter that these have been broken i have a sat finder and i think that adjusts back to the diseqs to zero,how do you get say 19e do i set the dish a east and then push it up horziontal to get 19*

 

[rolfw]

No, what is your longitude? You should be trying to find your due South reference point, not using the motor controls..

its a rotosatthe manual is in friggin german any takers on that 1

If you mean the STAB rotorsat, you can download an English version from here -

9° 57' 5W longitude so to where i should be heading east 19, if i find on sat can i work the disque of the reciver to get the other sats so if i want say hotbird 13e the diseqc will get me what ever in an easterly region????

 

[sraheens]

well i got my elevation 24.8 and 152.5for hotbird but i am stuck (no shock)

well am i gettin 30.0 on my sat finder what does that need to go to
other than that i think i will crack up cause i never thought that this would be as bad but it is

i have just set up my dish without the rotosat well i thought get one think going first so now i want to know if i was to set my roto sat on the eurobird degrees sat can i work the rest from there then.
other than that i am delighted i mangned it hopefully i will get nearer to having a lot of channels
thanks lads

Hello - I still don't think you said which reciever you ended up with and whether it has a CAM slot or not there.

If you are looking to decode the $ky package on 28.2 then it's a lost cause I'm afraid as Videoguard cams are not available. The Slovak and Czec packages are available with a Cryptoworks cam and a subscription on 28.2 (assuming you speak either of these).

As for setting up your dish there is a good tutorial by T24 called 'setup the dish'
