HELLO EVERYONE! Well, I have finally got it done and it's all operational again (I knew the old motor was acting up). I did have a problem with alignment on BADR@26e as the signal quality was only about 20%. The dish needed a slight elevation tweak and now I get about 45-50% quality on Dubai One. It would probably mean I'd need a bigger dish and I have enough on my hands with this one! :) I took the photo on my basic Doro phone.

The box is an Octagon SX88+ and the motor is a Techomate TM2600M3. My dish is a Gibertini. :)

Just a footnote to the new setup. I thought I would see how many western satellites I could get. The results were I have an arc of 15W to 45E which I think isn't bad all things considered. I peaked the dish a little on a couple of satellites using DISEQC 1.2 but left the rest on USALS. Very pleased with the new dish motor overall.
