[QUOTE="velant, post: 152323, member: 199320"] Hello, I have recently had a motorised 90 dish installed (Fortec Star 90 cm Dish and 450907 Metronic Motor). I receive major eastern satellites (Sirius, Hotbird, Astra1, Eurobird), but no western. I would like to receive Amos and Hipasat, but I can't catch even a slightest signal from either of them even if I go in smallest steps (nudge motor, step -1 ). My location is Birmingham, West Midlands. I am complete novice to satellites, can anyone give advice ho to get the signal? Any advice greatly appreciated, Thanks! P.S. Also, I have noticed that although at 0 degrees my dish faces up, when I go to west, the dish starts looking slightly down. Is that normal or is there anything wrong with the installation? (the guy who installed my dish was not a professional installer, so maybe he did something wrong). Is there a test I can use to check if my installation is OK? [/QUOTE]
