Maybe that motor is different than mine but mine had table inside the manual that tells me the angle based on my lat lon. Its manufacturer specific.

If you use Lyngsat it uses your location and a colour coded system to say if you are in the footprint/footprint centre etc.
You should only care about your centre sat to begin with. Get the signal as high as possible on that and the rest will work... As long as you set angles correctly.
Don't try to configure the motor/sat up on the ladder.
Set the motor angle and mount the dish as precise as possible on the ground first (using the data in the manual), then never adjust them again.
I saw your photo and it looks like you have been sliding around the motor angle because its all scratched up.
The only adjustment you should be making is the whole thing around the pole.
Once that is set you can fine tune the dish angle tiny amounts.
Only adjust here...
All "x" should be set following the manual first and left alone.

I think having a target to aim for is a bad idea. Just get the signal as high as possible with your equipment and ability at your location.

16E looks most south. It certainly wouldn't be 0.8W I don't think. Its 0.8W in UK
Hello everyone, FYI, it's the longitude you need to report on your engine and for you, given the rendering, it's not 17.... but 1.7, so you have to stick to this sat. ....to 1.9 https://fr.kingofsat.net/pos-1.9E.php
For example at home the longitude was 6.7 and I was not looking for a sat at 67 degrees, but as said above, at 7° east.....
If you are suggesting that 1.9E should be my centre in the UK, that is wrong. 0.8W is the most south at my location.

I linked a video in one of my other posts. It explains it all.

They are supposed to be blurry to show the error.
Display MoreDisplay MoreI made this to show the importance of setting your middle.
This image is rotated 1 degree around the 0.0E point...
See how there is the same error at both ends of the arc where they don't line up?
But if I rotate around 42E the error becomes much more serious on the right side of the arc...
Remember this is just 1 degree of error. This is why it is important to get the centre for your location.
All images are blurry and blurry, nothing can be read
That's the point!
Nobody is going to align their dish perfectly.
Its better to align to your centre because then everything within ~40 degrees either side is likely going to be acceptable.

While I think 17E is technically your centre, can you actually view it? If you cant, you pick the next closest one.
Southmost = most south direction
Highest = the highest sat in the sky
-
So 17E is your centre/southmost/highest sat.

28.2E FTA : ViaplayXtraHD, SportyStuff HD

It doesn't matter what you use, you just need to figure out which is the highest sat in your arc.
-
Go here. Put the marker where your dish is. Go through the sats and see which is most south. I think it will be 16.0E.
Whatever has most straight line on map is your centre.

He does not want to align to 0.8W!
He wants to align it with his southmost sat.
Think about it like this: Someone in Asia or Americas wont even see 0.8W.
0.0 degrees does not equate to 0 on the motor. The software sets 0 at his centre, which looks to be 16.0E.
This is how USALS works
-
Here are the steps I took.
- Make sure pole is perfectly straight using digital level
- Make sure the motor is perfectly centred (manually move to 0 using built in button, then hold reset)
- Find my lat-lon as precise as possible (google maps etc)
- Find my most south sat (in UK is 0.8W)
- Using the table in the motor manual, set the bracket angle (once set we do not touch this again)
- Using the manual, set the dish angle (the dish needs to be as square as possible to the motor)
- Attach the assembly to the pole tight enough so it doesn't move by itself, but loose enough you can rotate around the pole
- On receiver drive the motor to my most south sat (0.8W in UK)
- Rotate assembly around the pole until I get the best signal and tighten the bolts
- Fine tune dish elevation to maximize signal quality
Done
If everything is right you will be on the arc.
If there is something you do not receive that you believe you should, you can fine tune the dish. But only tiniest adjustments else you are not aligned anymore.
EDIT:
I should also add that you will need to configure your receiver for your location.
I use TVHeadend and I had to set my lat-lon and elevation. I imagine its very similar for E2.

The centre should always be the sat nearest your true south I think?
Its been a while since I set mine up.
I made sure the pole was perfect with a digital spirit level, trusted the maths, set everything OCD and it worked first time.
I have this one. Looks like there both from the same factory.
Here is one of the videos I used that helped me understand how to set it up.

I want the patch so it can be submitted to the OSCAM team, then it will trickle down to OSCAM-EMU, NCAM etc.
Of course in the meantime I would compile my own.
These precompiled bins are useless to me even if I would run them. I prefer NCAM and I run it inside an Alpine Docker container.
Having working (confirmed by multiple users) precompiled bins without supplying the patch does not stop piracy, or the spread of this hack. All it means is you have to use these specific bins. Ask yourself, why would someone want to make sure you are only using their bins? Maybe they are just childish and want to feel important. Or maybe there's something dodgy in them.
-
One of the staff members on here pointed out that its not public because they don't want to see every for sale section flooded with "fully loaded" boxes.
I don't see how keeping the patch private, but then posting precompiled biners hinders that. People are struggling to figure out how to install it so they are more likely to buy one of these preconfigured boxes!
With IPTV at where it is now, who's really going to be selling pre configured sat boxes in the UK/EU?
It requires people to have a dish while almost everyone already has internet ready for IPTV.
One IPTV provider goes down, the resellers just move to a new one.
If the sat encryption changes, that's probably down for a good while and might never come back.
Its only us nerds that really care about sat nowdays. Let us have our fun.
knows what is in those precompiled bins. There could be anything. -
"You need to do this, then that, then this...."
What really needs to happen is for anyone that has the patch (which was posted on another forum before being taken down for whatever reason) to post it publicly so it can be baked in to vanilla OSCAM
The patch is not pubic is it ? If it was it would be on the forum. (and it is not pubic for good reason)
If you had the patch you still end up with a bin file. That is of little help to the noob user that cant fathom how to FTP a channel list.
I'm told it was posted publicly on another forum, then removed.
Only a few people managed to grab it while it was up and they are being spoiled little bitches about it.
It could be submitted as a pull request to OSCAM and all would have it, like the DE patch.
