hi,
I plan to install my motorised system on saturday but have a quick question. I have read the motorised install guide on this site and it's very useful.
My sky dish (which will be uninstalled on saturday) is on the back of the house facing right - right as in your thinking say from the front of the house(towards the right of the house - the side - almost touching the wall with it's edge).
I understand this is pointing at 28E - my question is how do I figure out which way I'm looking at the arc. For example if I were to move the dish slightly left from the way it is facing would it be pointing at a lower Deg or higher Deg.
As an example would it be 20E (lower degree that it's original position) or say 36E (higher than it's original position).
The point of this is if the satellites lower than 28E are to the right (of the way the dish is facing) then my install will be completely different as it will need to be on a 2M pole looking over the roof which I'm not 100 % confident in installing.
My assumption is that the satellites lower than 28E are to the left of the way the dish is facing - here's hoping that's correct.
Also how far do the dishes actually have to move from say looking at 28E to 1W. In reality how far does the motor have to move?
I've been told by a popular internet satellite product provider that diseqc motors are extremely poor, slow and unreliable. They recommend a heavy duty 36 Volt H to H Motor but I know that many people use diseqc motors and have little or no problems with them.
Thanks in advance and this forum is great btw
