Just come back, and wow, it actually worked! I've only tested getting to 16E now but the peaks for Astra 1 in signal strength have convinced me it'll be no problem getting there either... it still requires fine tuning but as it's getting dark I've decided to postpone that to tomorrow :) I'll put...

I do notice the LNB could be a bit off, but it's not on 0 right now anyways... I'll check up on it later. Also don't notice the marks I've made on the setup, they're not in use.

Thanks so much for that, I'll post some photo's beforehand though :)

Just so I've got this correctly... First I have to move the motor to 4.8E with my longitude/latitude, and then start fine-tuning it... I suppose? Also, considering I have a 1.1m dish, I was unable to get a feed yesterday, which was received from Ireland to as far as in Albania, all of those...

Pictures will come on around 17GMT. When I first used my coordinates in USALS (5'9E 53'9N I think it was) Astra 4A worked fine on it... up until Hotbird. With don't budge I meant the signal, the motor did move to selected satellite, but nothing is popping up at all. It seems to be far off...

Hi, thanks for your reply :) So you say I should go to 0.8w with the 0 set on 4.8e (nearest readable south) right? Then once I get to 0.8w I fine tune the weaker signal channel... That said I have to do this all over again as the whole setup is *****ed up again after yesterday night O-no

Yes, I'm back :confused: :p After my clueless ventures earlier I've finally got the ball rolling today. When the motor is set on 0, it is on Astra 4A which is my nearest south. Everything works absolutely fine, until I get to Hotbird. Hotbird is working properly, but not exactly crisp. When I...

Leave it, I shouldn't have asked...

It's only for ESC & jESC. Others have received them via Az-Box.

Thanks :) I just feel like a dweeb not knowing what to do about it... So, I went outside to try the dishpointer advice which did not work whatsoever. I have been on selected latitude for ages to get Astra 4A, but on 29.5 dish elevation, not 22. I figure it's to do with the fact my motor is not...

I mean I'm sorry for being absolutely clueless... this stuff just remains daunting to me most of the time... I've just gotten through the manuals and I finally think I understand. However, dishpointer tells me the dish elevation should be at 22, and the latitude scale should be at 53. That's...

I believe what you are saying... Okay, so... what is the thing I should do? Set the latitude scale for about 50, for my location. Then I should put the elevation on the dish to my southern arc I assume? That would be 29.5. With that set, I should put the azimuth on the satellite that is...

So I should set the latitude scale to my location, then get it to my south arc... ...thing is, if I move my motor then, without USALS, the elevation does not change whatsoever...

I always have to go to the dish to adjust the elevation, not sure if that's just how it should be... the more that I read it seems to be going automatically for some people, it just doesn't here :( So, that means, if I keep everything as it is, but replace the dish with a bigger one, the...

Hi guys, I've just got a question now, which I'll need to consider before I 'upgrade' the dish from 78 to 110cm. Currently my dish is operating via diseqc motor, but I manually adjust the elevation level as I don't use USALS, I just manually get it done. To get back to where I once found the...
