Hi, Of the 28 satellite positions pre-programmed into the HH90, Atlantic Bird at 5W is not one of them. However if I go to the one listed at 5w I should hopefully be able to get a signal from one of them and make the necessary adjustments to get the max signal. Since the weather is abysmal I...

Hi, OK looking at the chart provided by STAB website the stored satellite positions indicate the Telecom 2B,2D satellites located at 5W. So I should head toward these as my starting point. Please correct me if this is not so before I start messing about on the roof again. The weather isn't too...

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion rolfw, since I am a newbie to the motorised systems I did not know where to begin. I just followed the instructions and hoped everything would work out. How wrong was I? I was at the point of giving up until you threw some light on the matter. You mentioned I should...

Hi, OK I understand the difference between USAL and DiSEqC now. So let me get this right, with everything clamped up, including the motor assembly, I should isolate the the motor initially from the receiver, make the necessary adjustments to get the maximum signal strength, say on Astra 1...

Hi, Thanks for the quick replies, much appreciated. Just to clear up a few things mentioned in the above replies, I used a sensitivity meter to home in on the Astra 1, played about with the dish until it gave me max strength, and on the receiver Signal Quality meter is showing 90-93% so I must...

Hi, Thanks for all your 'helpful' comments, I have set up the dish in the manner described below and ask for some more help:- Initially set up the dish on a vertical pole without the motor to get the correct dish angle and pointed it roughly towards Astra. Once this had been done I noted the...

Thanks, I will have a go this weekend and let you know how I got on.

Hi, Thanks for the reply and being a newbie I don't quite know what this declination agle is. Anyway the Stab motor manual gives a formula for calculating the dish elevation as follows:- Deg. of Dish Elevation=P-(45-lattitude) where P=degrees of dish elevation for a fixed mount given by the...

Hi, I have a STAB HH90 motor, a 90x80cm off set dish which I am trying to set up for motorised system. I am located in Glasgow, with the following coordiates obtained from the STAB website Latitude=55.9N Longitude=4.3W Dish Elevation for HH90=37.2 I have installed the mounting pole adjusted it...
