[QUOTE="MCelliotG, post: 1090368, member: 404726"] That's because the south center of your dish is not centered correctly. Usals alignment is easy once you align the dish perfectly to the satellite that's closer to your south. For instance, Astra 23.5E is the closest to my south since my longtitude is 22.942 E. So what I should do is connect the motor and the dish to my receiver, set up usals in Enigma2 with my [B]exact [/B]coordinates (google them), and then give the command for my motor to drive to 23.5E. This will swift a little away from point 0 of my motor meaning it will move a little. Now, I set up motor elevation to my latitude (this is 40.68 in my case) and screw that in place (not tightly so it can be changed if necessary). Then with that set up, I move the whole motor and the dish with it to find Astra 23.5E and align both declination and elevation of my dish to get the maximum signal. I use a [B]weak [/B]transponder for that. Now I try both arc ends with a western and eastern satellite. I check the elevation on both positions and if necessary I return to the center satellite and do the correct alignments again. In your case it's apparent that the 0 point of your motor was not setup as it should. Your arc has moved towards the east. [/QUOTE]
