Motorized Dish In Iraq - Civilian Contractor Yeah!, Motorized dishes are the only way to go. I have the only motorized dish other than the military on this base. PROBLEM HERE IS WITH SATS SUCH AS Turksta, Nilesat, Asiasat, etc, 98% of the channels are in Arabic, with 2% being in english you...

LAT/Long The issue is clear to me. Since I have two recievers that do not input LAT/LONG the quest here is to find out what the function would be called that I can search for to find in a manual. I have been reading manuals online, and haven't found any that state something like the...

I am using two recievers here in Baghdad, one of from the PX, and one loacl store. Neither of them have a lat/long input. I would assume that if you put the lat/long in it should be able to go right to the satellites you want without haveing to manually seek and save the position of each one...

DO recievers that have lat/long input settings have the ability to calculate where a satellite is with a motorized system ? What would the term for this be ?

Time zone Zulu + 3 Iceberg Am in Baghdad, on base, Zulu or GMT + 3

Does Blind Scan mean it looks for all channels on one satellite? or Will it scan the arc and find all satellites? I want to know if there is a system that will find and register satellites with the reciever. DO I have to go thru each recievers manual, or is this not possable. I am...
