[QUOTE="claasi, post: 118136, member: 179023"] Phil all you did sounds actually pretty good and in fact it should work. Perhaps a couple of things to check like: I looked up your motor and it is a one I have never seen before and a bit different like the other ones. Does not mean it is bad just different and perhaps needs a different setting. It is made for Offset dishes and Prime focus dishes as I saw. Well perhaps you know prime focus dishes have to face a satellite directly. Is there something you might have to switch on the motor and it is currently on a prime fotos setting perhaps ? No idea if this really exists becuase I would assumne this is more a dish issue but you never know. Do you have a manual of this motor ? Because perhaps you cannot use the longitude directly on the evaluation scale and it needs a correction on the motor. Does it say in the manual. So it is not perhaps 52 degrees because your motor has a long trunk which goes up. My motor has the trunk downwards and has two scales. I could choose either latitude or the correction of the motor which I picked up in the manual. Latitude in my case was 48 and the motor correction was something like 42 or less. So what I mean make sure the scale is really the latitude and not any motor correction degree. Something else. You right "i then adjust my dish elevation angle and left and right and not a dicky bird". I would hope you actually did lift and lower the mirror and did not do side movements. Besides did your motor actually turn when you moved it to Thor. Normally the receiver has to support this and you have to put in your coordinations in the setup. If not you would have to search for Thor manually first by moving the dish and store the position so it can be used later. In this case it makes it more difficult for the first time setup because you have to find the proper azimut first for the motor. So you have to have the proper motor setting first.
