[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 57498, member: 175057"] You are jumping a step. Install your motor onto your plumb pole and set the lattitude on the motor body. Using a compass as a rough guide you point the whole assembly to South. Using the lateral movement of the motor on the pole and the elevation on the dish mount, try and find Thor 1W, have the meter inline between the receiver and the LNB, the motor does not need to be inline at this stage. Once you've found 1W, lock up the fittings and try a scan with the receiver on 1W then the others. If you are like me and located almost directly on top of the 1W longitude line, then the result will be pretty close to perfect. :) [/QUOTE]
