Thanks. I thought of that too, but I guess I will have difficulty getting in the building's electricity room. Maybe I have no other choice but to invest in a twin tuner receiver.

Landlord just set up a decent 3 dish system, which gives me very good signals of 7W, 13E and 28E that I could never get with my small motorized dish at my location. Problem is I would still like to receive 9E, 19E and more with my own dish, yet do not know how to hook them up and take advantage...

thank you for your reply. I may need to get a better LNB or use a longer cable instead of joining 2 cables.

I have another question, guys. Sorry for being this bothersome. With my 1m motorized dish, I cannot get Astra 2. But there are 3 large dishes(being able to receive Eurobrid 1 and Astra 2) not far away from my dish, which I'm free to use except that their octo-LNBs are full. So can I attach an...

Thanks. Do you know if new and expensive Dream boxes have more capable tuners than DM500s?

Thank you guys. You are what makes the internet great!

DM500 tuner is very weak especialy compared to my old fortecstar which can receives hundreds of channels from Astra 2 while the poor DM500 cannot lock any transponder. Is it possible to replace the preinstalled tuner with a new one?

Spent hours running a 45 meter cable to my room with practically bare hands...poor me. And finally it seemed I could get about as much as what I got when using a short test to connect the dish and receiver on the roof. The reason why I decided to go to such great lenths to redo the cabling was...

:-ohcrap I must admit I was very wrong to assume just some fine tuning is left to accomplish my mission the day before. I could still use you guys' expert guidance. :-worship This afternoon my "motorized"(not that motorized yet) dish ran into another set of problems when I tried to track other...

Thanks again, my friends! Hope I can successfully track the satellite arc.:D

With you guys' help and some meticulous efforts on my part, I managed to lock my motorized dish onto Hotbird 13e and some other channels. The rest, I suppose, is just some fine tuning. Ooooh yeaaah!

Thank you very much for your time and input. I will try using the 0-40 scale and see what happens.

Have you seen dish bracket like this? It has one scale running from 0 degree to 30 degree and another from 40 degree to 0 degree. I don't know how to set the dish elevation angle!

You guys are a beacon of hope to me!

Hi, Super Moderator Satman. Do you mean I need to set my dish elevation angle at approx 30° instead of 24° ?
