Please help - I have wasted my weekend (sat and sunday!!) trying to install a motorised dish, but still no luck:mad: .
I have followed longstockings great guide, but only able to receive astra 1 @19.2E, all the other satellites e.g. hotbird and astra 2 @28.2E have very weak signals (about 6% - red!!).
I am based in London (Lat: 51:28:47N (51.4796) Lon: 0:02:24W (-0.0399)). Dish elevation set to 22. I have a 80cm dish, twin ouput LNB, Techomate 1000D receiver and Technomate DiSEqC 1.2 Motor. Also, I have a tree maybe blocking my signals, but this does not stop me receiving single satellites e.g. astra 1, 2 or hotbird (fixed installation without a motor!).
I tried looking for Thor 1W, by using goto Thor and then adjusting for best reception using meter - but no luck.
I then reset the motor to reference 0, then looked for the best reception using the meter. I then found that I had good signal for astra 19.2, used goto 19.2, had to adjust east/west for good signal and was able to scan all channels. However, I can't get any signals for all the other satellites (level is 95% and quality about 6-7% except astra 1 - 72%!).
Please tell me what I am doing wrong, I have a s shaped poled (the pole is level where the motor fits - I checked using spirit level!).
Any help will be greatly appreciated !!!
