[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 359345, member: 175057"] Here is a little pictorial setup guide. [B][COLOR=#FF0000]EDIT. Have now uploaded as a PDF file. Feel free to print it out.[/COLOR][/B] ALSO: [B][URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/pictorial-setup-guide-for-diseqc-motorised-dish-installation-downloadable-pdf.57976/#post-470879']How to fit an "F" Connector[/URL][/B] [COLOR=#0000FF][B]Notes about your due South satellite[/B] Although I have used Thor 1W as my due South satellite, this is merely because the longitude of my location is actually 1W. If you are situated further East or West, then find your longitude from somewhere like [URL='http://www.multimap.com']www.multimap.com[/URL] or [URL='http://www.heavens-above.com']www.heavens-above.com[/URL] and then look at [URL='http://www.lyngsat.com']www.lyngsat.com[/URL] to find the nearest satellite to your longitude. If there is not a convenient receivable satellite at your actual due South, then pick the nearest one. To make allowance for the fact that it is not exactly due South, a satellite receiver with USALS/GoToX (once your coordinates have been entered), can send the motor to where it thinks the satellite should be and then you can use the alignment procedure as described in the PDF, the arc should then be near perfect. If your receiver or motor does not have this automatic system, manually drive the motor by an approximate amount of degrees using the scale on the motor body. You can find out approximately where a given satellite is using [B][URL='http://www.dishpointer.com']this tool[/URL][/B]. Happy dish fitting.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
