    Hi all,


    I have just setup a 1m dish & a TM-2600 motor with a Openbox.
    Its pulling in about 11 sat's (only had a quick shot at it)
    But in the Sat list its showing 3.0 to 75 E but only 0.8/1 to 15 W. Its on Usals not diseq 1.2
    How can i get it to show the rest on the West ?
    I'm NOT getting all on the East i mean no signal on 16, 26 and nothing after 28.2 but i think this might be a line of sight issue as i get 0.8/1 W then either 4 or 4.3 then nothing until 15 W. Its setup on a south facing wall about 3ft above a single storey extension (purely for ease of access for tweaking it) will have a proper look over the weekend, might have to move it higher up. I'am getting a signal strenght of 85/89 and quality 75/78 for most sat's / transponders.
    Will i need to tweak my set up for better signal ?
    Also when i set it up i set the lat on the motor but have just read on another forum someone mentioned the dish bracket angle ?(22/23) i have'nt set this, do i need to ?


    All and any help / advice will be greatfully received.
    This is the first time i have installed a dish.


    The main thing thought is getting the missing sat's to the West.


    Thanks.

    Yes mate there set correctly.
    What i need to know is WHY in the sat's list is it only showing 0.8 / 1w to 15w ?
    Where are the rest of the sat's on the West ? And how can i add them ?


    Thanks
