Thanks again, Iceberg. I was curious if I used 110 as my true south, how far off the arc would I be when I move the dish to ~60 deg? Would it make that much of a difference?

Unfortunately, I don't have a DBS LNB. I noticed lyngsat shows a satellite at 113 deg (AMC 15) that doesn't have any data. Could I possibly try to hit that and get a quality reading?

Thanks for the quick response, Iceberg. Yes, around 95 deg I start having problems. To be honest, I didn't really use a satellite as my true south. I just pointed the dish in the direction I thought was true south. I thought if I set my motor at 0 position using Satmex 5 as my true south, I...

I have had my equipment set up for a few weeks and had some questions. My longitude is 112 deg and I get excellent quality on satellites withing 15 degrees of that position (up to 90 quality, 77 signal) on my satwork 3688 and winegard 1 meter dish. However, when I try to move much farther from...

I got my 1 meter from a local Winegard distributor (located in Idaho Falls, ID). That probably doesn't help most of you, but if you are within an hour of Idaho Falls, its probably worth the drive. I absolutely love my setup. You can find the distributor information on Winegard's site..."Find...

Glad I could be of at least a little help. You guys have done so much for me, its nice to feel like i've contributed a bit.

PSB, I did find out what was wrong on my setup. After calling Winegard and talking to tech support, I learned that the 1 meter dish uses a different method to set elevation. The tech informed me that on all the dishes they sell EXCEPT the 1 meter, you read the elevation using the red line on...

I just found out why my dish is pointed incorrectly. I finally called Winegard and talked to a tech who said that the red line is only on their 30" dish. For the 1 meter, he said to read the elevation at the center of the bolt. Just thought you might want to know. It's time for Round 4 with my...

Thanks for the picture, Pilot. I went out to look at the dish in the spot you have indicated in the picture and there is not any red mark. I wonder if the 1 meter dish just doesn't have it. Oh well, I think I have set the elevation properly anyway.

Just to make sure I have everything set right, I'll tell you what I've done so far... First, I made sure the pole was plumb; second, I have the motor in the 0 position pointing at 165 deg; motor elevation is at 47 (latitude at 43); third, set the scale on the dish to 23.5 deg. Does it...

Thanks PSB, I actually started to set it up without the motor first, however, the way I have it mounted wouldn't allow it. Without the motor, the bottom of the dish hits one of the legs of my mount. I need that extra distance the motor provides in order for the dish to sit right.

Well, I corrected my elevation setting on the motor but I still don't have any quality. I'm wondering if I have my dish pointed in the right direction. I have it pointed at 165 degrees for area code 83201. Does that sound right? If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks

Don't I feel like a fool...I didn't realize that there was a different scale on both sides. I was using latitude for my elevation. You've done it again, PSB :bow I'll have to adjust the dish in the morning; I've had enough for a day. Thanks, once more, for your help :)

I'm hoping there are a few of you out there that are familiar with the Winegard 1 meter dish and the SG2100 motor. After setting everything up according to the SG2100 manual, my dish appears to be looking slightly downward. Is this right for my latitude (43 degrees)? Am I setting my elevations...

Thanks PSB, That's where I thought I was supposed to set the elevation. For some reason, my dish doesn't have a red line.

Okay, I've started to install my dish but had a stupid question. How do you read the elevation on a Winegard dish? Thanks

Thanks PSB, I took a closer look at the manual and, sure enough, you're numbers were all correct. I can't wait to have some nice weather so I can set everything up and let you know how it all turned out.

Well, after weeks of waiting, I finally got my dish. Unfortunately, the weather is rainy/snowy so I have to wait a few days for the sky to clear up. I was searching through old posts to make sure I have all my info right so I can set everything up properly, and had a question for PSB (or...

Nagravision 2 will only effect people who are trying to get pay channels for free; in other words, people who are trying to steal service. For the legal/free channels, Nagravision 2 will have no effect. So to answer your question, it is definitely worth buying a system now.

That makes sense. I'll use 110 as my true south and will let you know when I get everything all set up. Thanks for all the help

Thanks again PSB for the quick reply. I do have an old Directv dish setup and could probably just use one of the lnbs from it. I was curious why you said that AnikF2 will be hard to use as a true south satellite. What would you recommend using as my true south?

My equipment will be arriving in the next week or two and I wanted to make sure I have all the right info to set it up correctly. I am getting the Satwork ST3688 receiver, Winegard 1 meter dish, DMSI Universal LNBF, and the SG2100 motor. I am completely new to all of this so please forgive my...

Thanks, PSB The link helped a lot. I would like to know if anyone here has tried to use a Stab motor on a 1 meter dish, and if they had good results. I've heard mixed reviews about the Stab so I am leaning towards the SG2100 but I don't want to count the Stab out just yet. If anyone with the...

Thanks SatelliteAV, I did, in fact, go for the larger size dish...the Winegard 1 meter :). After reading through so many posts of people wishing they had bought a larger dish, I figured since I'm starting from scratch, might as well go for the best dish I could afford. Unfortunately, the...

Thanks PSB, That link was very helpful. While I've got you here, I had just one more question about receivers. I have been looking at the Fortec Lifetime Ultra and the Satwork 3688 and would like your opinion on which receiver produces a better picture and which one has better weak signal...
