Ta, the satellite is just shown as Badr on my system

According to the supplier the bracket should take a 120cm dish! Just visually you can see its going to flex with the wind loading that would create.

System all set up and working now. Cant seem to find the Fox movie channel on 26E. Is it blocked in some way?

did a factory reset and the satellite appeared! all working fine now.

Finally had a day off and a chance to fit the new brackets etc. Its all ok now albeit the elevation is higher than the 38 . I'm now getting all satellites although 26E is only 25% but looks ok.

I'll have to work out what satellites I won't use then as there are no ___0 in the list.

Perhaps that was the problem! I'll have to have another look when I get home.

Mast is plumb, but I'm not happy with the bracket supplied. It's a one piece L wall bracket that projects 450 mm, so I've ordered a double K bracket. When I get the bracket I'll try again.

In the set up manual it gives 38 as elevation angle for a latitude of 52 (I rounded mine up from 51.7) and a dish angle of 22.5. - assuming I'm understanding it correctly.

Evening, How do i add a satellite to a TM5402. I cant find anything in the manual and a want to add the 28E Badr channels. Thanks for any help.

Ok, Ive installed my system which comprises of a 97cm dish, Technomate TM-2600 motor and Technomate TM-5402 M3 receiver. My Latitude is 51.7 and Longitude is 0.5. Ive put in my Long and Lat in the USALS settings, found what i believe to be 1w Thor. I get channels on Thor, albeit slightly low...

Thanks for the replies. So if i go for a 100cm motorized dish set up what would be a good entry level HD receiver to do the job? Ideally i want to get a complete package that is an easy install for me to do. Ive had a look on line, but there's so many to choose from I need some guidance...

Firstly Hello! I’m a complete newbie here so bare with me and mods feel free to move this if its in the wrong place. Now I appreciate this question has probably been asked before but a lot of what I have read online is a few years old so might well have changed. Basically i'm after advice on...
