Hello all,
Ive just set up my first motorised system, but am having a few teething problems,
I have got all the settings on the dish to where the table tells me to:
i.e, Latitude: 52.708° Longitude: -1.967°, elevation 38, my declination angle is 7.5 so I subtracted this from the 30 degrees to 22.5 on the rear of the dish as in instructions.
anyway the results are, I get a 82% signal strenth on W5 satellite but do not get above 22% when tuning in to any other of the 25 pre installed satellites ,thor etc., allowing me to watch one french channel, not a lot of use when you only speak english.
I have played with slight angle adjustments on the dish when tuned into W5 and did improve the signal but still cant pick any others up so I must be out of line with the arc, What usually causes this?
Thankyou in advance
dave
If anybody has any suggestions i will be glad to hear from you.
