[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 64990, member: 177511"] 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. See attached pictures [/QUOTE]
