[QUOTE="s*t*a*r*m*a*n, post: 6088, member: 175004"] my brothers being trying to align the dish in the apex position but says he cant as the pole/motor is getting in the way. I did say to him i thought the dish was slightly bigger than what i ordered though i think this is just due to his lack of knowledge on the subject (including mine) I now have the dish fixed on hotbird (temp) ive been using a thing called satbleeper which gives out a pitch change when near a satellite but the signal on the pentavision card was weak so i said to him to leave it for the day as we were trying to find 707 at 1west to get true south. we tried various things including setting the dish at 55 and the motor angle at 48. We are still very much confused however about the procedure no matter how much people talk about declinations etc. Unless i can actually see an example using the jeager g90 motor and a triax dish this alignment may take a year :-( when i tuned in the weak signal at hotbird as this looked like the obvious satellite based on the position of the one next door to my surprise i picked up all the channels and the signal got quite good but never as good as i think it should be to my location. picture & sound excellent though.
