Spent today and yesterday setting up the DiSEqC motor.
The story so far...
Read everything I can!
Mounted bracket and pole and check the pole is vertical (honest)
Worked out the Elevation as:
Latitude 56.56 = Elevation angle 34 (set on side of motor)
Pointed the motor south and mounted the dish in line with seam on rotor arm.
Set motor to 0 set DreamBox to 0 using the GoTo XX function.
Moved to 1 west (Thor) on the motor and found a great signal.
set this up and then moved to Hotbird, Astra 19.2 and Astra 28.2.
When I look at the scale on the motor the angles match those of the satellite positions.
I have set these positions and can move between these satellites just by channel selection.
But... I cannot get anything west of Thor the dish tips over when scanning more than 30 deg each way.
I know it's the settings but can anyone point me in the corect direction.
