[QUOTE="badflyer, post: 477230, member: 277923"] Hi all Happy days! My dish can now see 43W to 45E, using 1.1m dish and stab HH120 motor, but i can't get the Russian channels on 53 East. I understand that 11616v 2894 3/4 is the strongest signal on 53E, so i'm basing my tests on this freq. To be honest with you, i've been pulling my hair out with my dreambox 500s/ HH120 stab rotor setup for a while now. Things have improved since i mounted by dish/motor on a 10ft pole at rear of garden, and now i can receive almost everything from 43W to 45E in a built up area. 45E booms in at 90% signal strength. Going further east to 53E i am using the step function in my dreambox 500s motor setup. There is a possibility i could just be clipping the neighbours roof at 53E, but i hoped having the 10ft pole and mouting the dish near the top of it would clear the neighbours roof.. I appreciate the beam for 53E is pretty low in the sky.... looks like i was wrong because I get nothing.. Another problem i have is as soon as the motor gets to about 55 degrees east, it automatically returns back to its zero position.. this is proving to be a real pain in the butt for me... I've disabled the limits in the dreambox, and used the recalculate function in the setup to recalculate all positions using 13E as the reference. I hope some experts on this forum can help me :) [/QUOTE]
