[QUOTE="chapops, post: 508745, member: 286970"] well I had originally set the motor using 1W as I am on 0W, I found USALS works pretty well and after sending the dish to a sat and going in the DiseqC I found that I could get no improvement going E and W from the usals position. Also when I went to 39E with usals I could pick the signal immediately - so this made me think that my motor is set ok. I then went to 16E and did a scan - picking about 15 FTA channels - less the one I wanted. I then assumed my setup is not perfect and proceeded to send the dish to 16 E with Usals, undo the bolts and start moving e/w until I got peak signal on one of the TVR romanian channels, then I fixed that and started moving the dish up/down - this was very difficult as the signal would die with the slightest movement and it was within about 1deg range where I got signal at all. Finally I moved the lnb in the 2 directions until it could not get any better. So with that - overall the signal I was getting on TVR, TV7 and GUYSEN channels improved from 50 to 72%. But, when I did another scan I did not get tv bulgaria. I tried moving the dish with disec and the peak on the good channels is where it goes by usals anyway - so this makes me think that I can't get any better by moving the dish alone. what I don't understand is why I get some transponders (Estate TV) perfectly but others not at all - is this normal ?
