[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1082414, member: 187442"] You have to follow the basic rules, for setting up a motorized dish. Using USALS makes it easier. 1 Make sure the pole is absolutely plumb, and secure. 2 Find your exact Latitude, and Longitude, you can use an app or sites like dishpointer. 3 Set your motor dish and LNB to 0 4 Enter your Latitude, and Longitude, into your receiver, negative Longitude readings = West, positive = South, Manchester is around 2 West. 5 Using your receiver send your dish/motor, to a suitable satellite, 1W is a good position. 6 Manually adjust your dish/motor to maximize the signal quality, on 1W 6 Now you need to fine tune, by sending your motor to the furthest West satellite, then the furthest East satellite, and not the signal strengths, to fine tune always send your dish/motor back to the satellite you set up on, 1W, make fine adjustments, then send to the furthest East, and Furthest West, to check if you've improved the signal quality. Keep doing this until you're happy with the readings, then check all other satellites. [/QUOTE]
