Quote from glenviewjf

I'm about 200 miles away from my dish at the mo so i have no clue!

Am it took me a few goes to get mine on the arc mate..

There is no norm as far as i know it all depends on your location mate!

If you use usals it does it all for you. You only need to make sure the motor is at 0 and straight with the lnb arm points to Thor 0.8
Get best signal and put long lat in your box.
Then it turns to the sats itself.
So as you said you where missing some sats. I think your dec and eleavation is wrong On you motor or dish as it's not following the arc.
This is where you will need to tweak your dish to it all the sats.

Hope this helps

Hi Gaz,

JUst done like you said and get most west sats except for 8 west, and most east sats except for 39 east and 42 east , would i need to adjust angle on dish ? if so is this better doing this when it is on 0.8 west or slight adjustment with height on 39 east and 42 east ??

Cheers

I'd say 16e, 0.8w (1w) is ok to set your dish up with but weak sats help with fine tune, depends if you want your signal good or really good.

Hello Mate,

I want really good signal, i have strong trasponder on 0.8 west @ 98% 8 west still can`t get, but have realised that west satellites except for 8 west really strtong signal and east satellites get weaker the further east you go 13 east etc strong and 19.2 east strong but from 28.2 gets weaker can on get some today with the rain and 39 east nothing and 42 east nothing any advice, adjust on easterly sats or get back to 0.8 west and lower angle as i think i am definately either too high or low on further easterly sats ???

Cheers
Carmine
