    i am going to try set my motorized sat up soon , what would be the best sat to tune in to ?.

    Will i have to set the motor and the dish too different angles.

    how would i put the lat and lon in my vu solo2 atv 6 image. going to try use usuals .

    any help would be a blessing thanks. tm 2600m3 motor and 80 dish.

    Usually best is to use a satellite as close to due south from you as possible. A quick look at lyngsat shows at 0.8W there is a sat with a transponder with some FTA channels which you should be able to receive at freq 12418V, 28000-7/8.


    Pole needs to be as plumb as possible - any tilt will get magnified the further away from due south the dish is pointing...


    Try dishpointer.com for help with setup (used to be a link on the old website, not sure with this new forum...)


    Service searching -> Tuner configuration -> (tuner) -> Mode = Positioner, then enter your lat/long (use 1.4598 west instead of negative...)



    Edit: Link for dishpointer is above under "Useful Links".
