where do you get the 29 figure from?

YEs it says 27 on the dish bracket but the 'real' measured tilt from vertical is 10 degs even though the scale on the bracket says 27!

Hi rolf, I take it form the earlier post that the dish needs to be at about 10 degs off perpendicular, I have measured this with a spirit level (with an angle finder) which equates to 27 degs on the dish bracket. Am I right in thinking that I will not get ANY signal unless I'm bang on the...

Hi guys, I'm back I'm affraid. False alarm with the voltage my meter needed a battery change. Weather hasn't been up to much lately as I'm sure your aware, I have tried sweeping the dish back and forth around the due south mark at varying dish declinations looking for thor. Not a saussage. any...

C.C...C...CC...CC.C..cold Frostbite stopped play, still no joy I'm affraid. had the dish off again. noticed the lnb was a smidge off centre on the bracket, reset and tried again I cant beleive I'm getting absolutely nothing not even a bad signal. I'd hate to admit defeat, and get someone in...

Thanks Rolfw tried that, Still nothing!!! tried a few slow sweeps from side to side at each dish degree setting. I even tried removing the motor out of the loop and going straight from receiver to LNB, NADA. Just out of curiosity it took the voltage from the outer of the F connector to the...

Hi, Ok I have tried the setting the motor to 0 then manually moving the whole mount clockwise (west) to find thor still nothing, could this LNB be duff? I have double checked the mount and the cabling and I took the receiver to the shop and checked to see it could get a signal OK I even removed...

arrrgh lost a post there somewhere, yes I am in Horwich near the reebock stadium. I have set up a tv and receiver so I can see it from the dish. I have set the lnb to thor and tp freq to eleven three two five (keyboard numbers not working well on this laptop :o ) when I go into the usals section...

hi thanks rolf, I have an analogue sat finder, I checked the pole with a pumbob (on the inside of the pole) and its dead on. I have set the attenuator to just below full gain, set the declination to 25 degs as the shop guy said, I checked the face of the dish with a spirit level and it is ten...

I've had a read through the stickies but I cant find the answers I'm sure they are there I just cant see them. Hoppo I have had several trips to the Fallas to play in an Irish band in vallencia at St Patricks Day (17th March) (have you heard of a band called Wash?) Anyway I have the manual but I...

Been through the manual and cant find anything relating to the declination setting. it only mentions the elevation from your geographical position. I've had a play with the mount, the pole I found had been crushed as I had over tightened the U bolts. I have slid it down a few inches now so I am...

Thanks for the quick replys guys, "If the pole is not 100% vertical on two sides" I suspect the pole may be wider at the top than it is at the bottom! if I check the right side spirit level says move bottom to the right, on the left it says move the bottom to the left! in a metre long pole I'd...

Scuse the long post but I'm trying to get this straight in my head. setup: relook 400s cryptik HH motorsied, 1M Orbital dish, experience: nil!:) Right heres the story, Got it all set up, first problem, holding the spirit level against the pole inotice there is some movement of the level against...

Hi, I got my 400s from cheapsat, arrived in UK in 4 working days, having problems getting it set up but this is my first install...
