[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1034208, member: 176704"] Please excuse me, as a total novice by comparison with all the previous posters, for posting this question which was prompted in my mind by the problem of making [I]very fine[/I] adjustments to DiSqeC motor/dish combos where the elevation & declination markings on those units are pretty "approximate" and that the sizes and weights of the dishes makes that sort of adjustment pretty difficult: Has anyone worked out ways of modifying the dish mount and/or the mount/dish connections to allow much finer adjustments of the two critical angles without "extreme" engineering [I](like RimaNTSS appears to be able to do "every day :)[/I] ) ? (I think I[I] may[/I] have, after a lot of thought, but I haven't yet had the opportunity to try my ideas out - and probably won't until the weather gets a lot better/warmer :(, when I aim to try them out when I remount the motor and TD88 on another steel pole - not going to try these on the TD110 until I think they will work).
