[QUOTE="homerhat, post: 426471, member: 176592"] Hi, This is the first time I've installed a motorised setup. So please bear with me! I have inherited a Worldsat motor with a French manual. As it looks different from most other motors I've seen, I decided to use the instructions that came with it rather than the "standard" way . What the instructions say to do is to: - Set the dish 1cm away from the body of the motor(equiv. to 43°elevation) - Drive the motor to the position relevant to the location and satellite . I used _http://www.satsig.net/maps/satellite-dish-pointing and got 15.2° as Motor drive sideways angle for Hotbird. - Turn the whole lot to due south - Use the motor elevation mechanism to scan up and down until you get a signal I've done this and got a good signal from Hotbird. However, when I drive the motor to Astra 2 (31.9°), no signal until I move the motor elevation up by 3 degrees. Will this work if I make some adjutments to the mount azimuth or the dish declination? Or should I give it up and try the "standard" way? Lat=50.81 Long=-0.78 [/QUOTE]
