[QUOTE="a33, post: 1000376, member: 332642"] Well yes, it can, but how to find aim for the dish then? The dish/jack motor is not at zero-position now, so aiming would be rather difficult. I was going to suggest finding the azimuthangle for aiming the dish with help of the sun, but with such a polar mount not at the zero-position that doesn't work, alas. [USER=409967]@NickJD[/USER] : How was the jack-motor fed with power, when it used to work? Not over a coax cable, I guess, but with 12 or 36 volts or so? I'm no expert on jack motors, though. But if you're wanting to use this equipment in a fixed setup, I would try to set the jack motor (or a substitute part in place of the jack) in the zero-position, and then further align the dish at 13E. A satellite finder/beeper is giving feedback to [B]find[/B] the direction of a satellite. For that it is usefull; once found, it has little extra use, so you are right there. BTW. DVB-T is not an option in Italy? Receivers are not expensive, and if antenna signal is OK in her area, that could work too. Greetz, A33 [I]Edit: New posts since I started...:[/I] [I] How do you move it back and forth? 44 signal but no quality: some boxes indicate a signal just to indicate that LNB-power is given by the box, I believe. Relevant is the no quality: You are evidently receiving nothing more than noise. I wouldn't assume beforehand from these numbers, that your LNB is faulty. But of course it could be. Trying another cable is indeed a good test, assuming that the dish might still be aimed correctly at 13E.[/I] [/QUOTE]
