I have a 1.2M motorised dish but I have trees in the way stopping me being able to put this to use
- My Location
- England
I'm going to install a Alsat Superior Dark Motor and a Triax TDA88 dish on my Duo2 box
I've installed motorised dishes before but way way way back in the early analogue days.
What I'd like to know is the following.
1) IF I set the motor to 0° on the ground and then get the satellite reciever to tunr it to Thor on 0.8°W
Providing I have the correct location set in the reciever, and I have the pole dead vertical and the angle on the motor set properly
Can I simply with a satellite meter in line can I simply turn the motor round until I get the strongest signal and then tighten the pole up?
I assume I also adjust the angle on the motor for the strongest signal as well ?
I have 2 other questions if you dont mind
2) What do I set the lnb at? do I adjust it for strongest signal on Thor and it will be ok on the other satellites?
3) The Triax TDA88 dish, what elevation do I set this to?
The offset angle of the dish is 26° and My Latitude : 53.44014 N
Sorry for so many questions but I'd rather the dish went up once and done properly than have to adjust it many times to get it right.
I have a decent inclinometer, satellite meter and compass so hopefully it shouldn't be "too hard"!!!
