[QUOTE="william-1, post: 1091515, member: 193781"] It looks like you have several dish setting problems :eek: How to set up a dish for maximum signals >> 1/ Pole must be dead vertical in 360 degrees ( use a spirit level ), 2/ Dish mounted dead central on the motor spigot, 3/ Motor set at the correct Elevation for your location for maximum signal at your reference satellite, 4/ Motor at zero on the scale when aimed at your reference satellite, 5/ Dish Declination set for maximum signal at your reference satellite, 6/ Lnb set in the correct position for max signal(Move Lnb fully forward & Back while viewing a meter for max signals) 7/ Site dish so that you have an unobstructed view of the Satellite Arc, 8/ Tighten all bolts when you have achieved maximum signal on all satellites in your Satellite Arc. Note:- A normal motorised dish installation is very straight forward for receiving the major satellites 52 east,42 east,39 east,28.2 east,19.2 east,13 east 5 east 1 west 5 west & 30 west, The feed satellites are much weaker 16E,10E,7E ect so the dish/motor set up is more critical than a normal installation & takes a lot longer to achieve good signals on these.
