Zone 2 On A Moteck DiSEqC Motor

[Robbo]

Thanks for clearing that up guys,

I had to draw myself a little diagram to prove it to myself

Exactly what I originally had to do too.

We used a zone 1 Sky dish on a motor for ages... mid UK... 42e to 45w 5000 channels plus... They are very good and the LNBs are...

Not all of the sats would of been reliable though on a Z1 for sure.

45e (if in sight & further) 42e 39e 36e 33e 28e 26e(1) 23.5e 19e 16e 13e 10e (9e) 7e 5e 1w 5w 7w 8w 12.5w 15w 18w 22w 27.5w 30w 43w 45w (and 58w if in sight)

You miss weak TP/ beams on some sats but not the whole sat... and the signals you do get are usually very strong just like Sky... just set it up well and it'll do it.. they make an ideal dish to stick high up on a chimney on a motor just to get deep east/ west sats that a bigger dish can't see lower down.


Try the dish 'level' at 28.2e to max it out - unscrew some of the bolts and swing it round until its level while the motor is parked at 28.2e and hold it with a G clamp etc.. set the LNB to your zone. The scala rings in the LNBs are also offset for 28.2e as well as oval.

Still, getting something off 26E ain't bad, which tp is that?

It was PALMEDIA on 12739 H 2400 (a feed) but it's become too unpredictable

- however, another has replaced it...

.......121(8)2 H 16200.. (YEMEN TV etc)

you'll get that on a Sky z1 dish now (here anyway ..mid UK)
and a good TP to locate 26e when you're setting a dish up, .... .

...easy as Sky at the moment.


And not 27500 so you don't confuse it with 23.5e or 28.2e

Actually, 12182 H 16200.

He's right... looked at the meter at an angle a bit too quick .oops

Hey mate,
Having a lot of trouble trying to do this. The Sky poles a lot thinner than the motor one so even if I pinched it, it wouldn't fit. any advice?

 

[fergyc]

I used a grinder ;)

looks good
