Yes you are correct about the coordinates. But you have to have the motor and dish aligned to thor in the first place otherwise you are never gonna get the satellite arc right.
bo.
Sorry but you are wrong.
You can't just point it at Thor and expect it to track the arc correctly.
The motor and bracket have to point south, I know Thor is only 0.8 west of south but what if you live at 3west, pointing at Thor would give incorrect arc.
Display MoreIt`s not as daunting as it looks. trust me. Over the last 20 odd years, I`ve always installed my own dishes. The 3 important steps I take are
1: Make sure the pole/mount your dish is going on, is perfectly vertical.
2: The brackets your motor uses to be fixed to the pole are set at your areas longitude/latitude(you`ll know what I mean when you see the motor).
3: The motor arm should be set at 0. Your dish when fixed to the motor arm should have the lnb arm pointing directly out from 0. Make sure the motor & dish are not fixed to the pole too tight, you need to be able to swing the whole thing left and right.
When you`ve done all that turn the whole unit (dish & motor) to point at 0.8*west Intelsat/Thor satellite and securely fix everything to the pole once you are happy you have a strong signal from Thor. Now once you have a decent settings list in your receiver you should be able to find the other sats when you change channels. Don`t be disheartened if you don`t it will take a bit of tweaking here and there.I`ve just made a simple explanation of what to do, it will be a bit more difficult but no way as difficult as the tutorials will make you believe. Also you may want to get a cheap satellite meter or you can do what I`ve done in the past, have a tv insight of where I`m messing with the dish and set the receiver on a free to air channel. Once I have the dish pointing to the correct satellite that channel should appear.
Don`t be scared. :06:
bo.
Your last step is incorrect.
You need to input your coordinates into the receiver, then drive the dish to Thor (or which ever satellite is closest to his location), then align dish assembley for max signal on that satellite.
i planted mine on 3 inch steam pipe cemented into the garden, its at the back of the house so nobody sees it anyway
^this. There's always a way around it. Hiding the dish low down behind a fence etc so it can't be seen from the road etc.
Sky won't do it, but your local independent satellite guy will.
Don't use kodi for satellite viewing. Use one of the many enigma2 images available and use the wetek like a normal receiver.
Since updating to V1.701 my sky picks aren't updating I'm only getting the stock images. Both scripts are active and running.
Using vix.
Hi All
I changed back to this option to get more details of whats on now but when I go back now all I get are the channel names and no info and for the life of me I cant get the programme details back beside the names of the channels
- - - Updated - - -
what did you set it back to please so I can change it later on
Start at 100 and go upward to suit yourself. I stopped at 200 then adjusted the service name font and service info fonts to -4
Use an app on your phone to change channels in other room
Anybody else know what setting I've altered to stop current program showing next to channel name?
*UPDATE.
Found the problem, I'd set "show columns" to 600 pixels.
Display Morei got it sorted.
post 190 did the job for me.

check my post 355.
is that your current setup,long colum in middle with no program information..?
- - - Updated - - -
@ tk4
in my post 355,is your problem similar to the one i was having.
No.
For example.
You know next to BBC one, on your screen shot, it says pointless? Mine doesn't.
Display MoreIn channel selection settings you have 2 options:
1. Set Number of Rows to:16
2. Set Number of Rows to:16 > Show Event Progress Bar set to: No
Help me out here please. I'm not getting any program info after the channel name, what have I altered in the settings? I can't figure it out
All these boxes for sale, so tempting but too close to xmas, no money spare.
Skyq uses a different type of lnb that isn't compatible with older receivers. You'll need to put up a second dish or get sky to fit a different lnb with a legacy output.
What do the cron timer scripts do and how do I activate them? I've never used cron timers. (Using vix)
Looks awesome dude. Tell me, do we need to uninstall previous version first or can we install on top?
I'd realign dish if it's slightly out.
Don't think any size of dish will do.
Think you'll have to look into ip-tv.
It's called autotimer
Just press record in epg and you'll get an option to add timer or auto timer.
I think it's been renamed. Have a look for epg-importer.
Not sure if serious?? Solo2 is a far better receiver than a Zgemma will ever be.
Why not get a multi switch with unity gain or even 1 with a slight amplification built in?
