I have setup my motorised system and can get a really good signal on both Hotbird and Astra but not Thor
I realise that I am not perfect on the arc so I spent all today going back and forth, up and down and side to side but I can't get a signal high enough to get a lock.
Is this satellite notoriously difficult or something ?
I don't no what else to try my digisat meter will only go as high as 49% snr which will not allow the Dreambox to lock onto it. The meter can turn my diseqc 1.2 rotor which I have done to hunt the better signal strength out but nothing. It does tend to rise a bit when the actual rorot is turning though.
I have noticed that the pole seems to have a habit of giving me electric shocks. Anyone know why ?
Any help would be great as I really want this to work 100%
