For mounting an offset dish on to a polar mount, can the tilt adjustment be ignored? Also,i assume that it is of paramount importance that ones latitude is correct to track the Clarke belt spot on.

Is it possible to calculate one,s true North/South position if the Latitude and Longitude is known.

Can any one give me the formula to calculate the angle of a sat motor arm(set at 0) at any given latitude.The markings on the sat motor is not that accurate and it is more accurate to use a digital inclinomitor when placed against the sat arm.

Writing from Africa i was given a Channel Master Elliptical dish 900X670mm without the LNB arm.The part number is 3041221 and the mold number 75E (2).Can someone please advise me the length of the LNB arm.Thanks.

I have mislaid my manual and enquire if someone has one lying around.I am unable to store satellite locations into the positioner and any help would be appreciated.

How do one connect a C band LNBF with polarotor to receive linear and circular transmissions to present day receivers.Or ,can present day receivers be modified to take the three polarotor wires.

Can someone please advise me the easiest way to secure the dish once the dish is set onto a satellite.From time to time i move the dish to view different satellites.

I have four dishes and four receivers providing me with with four pictures which i wish to monitor via a television.I understand that i need a quad processor(used for cctv) which will split my screen into four.Someone out there may have a set up to monitor different pictures,but i seek advice...

How to one use a Polarotor LNBF with the latest type of satellite receivers.If there is a way, how would the three wires,red/black/white be connected up.

Can someone please advise the degrees Kelvin for the C Band of the combined LNBF.

Anyone out there who has done such an installation?The dish is 90 CM and the polar mount will be moved with an actuator.

I am tracking the Clarke belt in the Southern Hemisphere from 78,5 East to 24,5 West .My latitude being 35 with declination of 2 (should be 5) elevation of 40 and dish elevation of 50.I have no near satellite true north the nearest being on my left 34 degrees away and on my right 53 degrees...

Can one ignore the declination angle setting and add it onto the elevation angle when doing the settings at one,s location.

What do i require to account for the different skew on West and East KU satellites?

I noted from a German satellite advert a C Band LNB as being .3dB. Is there a formula to convert dB to degrees Kelvin?

I have a 2.6M Paraclipse mesh dish and my understanding is that there is a 30% drop in KU signal quality, when compared to a solid dish.Is there anything i can do,other than switching to a solid dish?

How do one ascertain the difference if an offset is available.?On a KU offset dish what is the best way to determine the focal point of a C band LNBF.Thanks for any assistance.

Writing from South Africa I am receiving on NSS 7 at 22W,AFN with a quality of 40%(scrambled)CNN comes in at 23% with no picture.I am using a 20 degree LNBF and enquire whether i will get a picture should i get a 15 degree LNBF and also use a Conical Scalar Ring.Any assistance will be appreciated.

Can someone please give me the length of the feed rods for the above dish.The dish was given to me with incorrect feed rods.

Can someone please assist me with an exploded diagram for a 24 inch actuator.

Telstar 12 on 15 West has a scrambled beam of Fox news on 12546 to South Africa.What must i do to receive this service legally?

Writing from South Africa i can receive the scrambled signal of Fox and CNN from Telstar 12.Please advise how i can subsribe legally to enable me to watch the transmissions.

Writing from South Africa my Houston Tracker llsc model Positioner is in parental lock out mode.I do not have a manual and enquire whether any one can advise me how to remove this mode.Even better the actual manual will be a great help.

I am unable to align my dish to track the Clarke Belt.I start off with viewing a satellite on 22W ( in South Africa) with a declination angle of 5 degrees,which is correct for my site.Trying to get a picture on 5W and 1W i note my declination angle is now O degrees.My pole is dead straight and...

I have been given two positioners(Echostar 700 and Tracker IIC,without operation manuals) and two actuators,Drake and Venture ,both 24 inch.I wish to motorise my 2.3 meter dish but the Drake does not extend but only rotates.The Venture extends/retracts for about 8 inches.I have opened the back...
