ok, I am new to this FTA setup stuff, but I have gathered and installed all my equipment.
mounting pole is perfectly vertical.
DMS SG2100 motor
Fortec 80P 31" dish
Invacom QPH-031 LNB
Twinhan DVB card
all new cabling
Everything aligned at true south
Motor tilted at latitude setting 41 degrees
dish elevation at 24 degrees
LOCATION: Fort Wayne, IN ZIP: 46825
cabling is as follows:
DVB card --- Motor --- DisEqC switch ---LNB
Using Mytheatre for interface to card
DisEqC commands to motor work, motor turns east & west when I use the position console in Mytheatre
I used a generic satellite signal meter to help fine tune the alignment.
signal meter seems to receive multiple satellite signals as I manually move the motor east and west using the manual controls on the underside of the motor.
I have two questions: what is my true south satellite? in Mytheatre, there are several to choose from, but I do not understand the position degrees in the menu, and I have no idea what satellite I am currently aiming at....
perhaps my true south satellite is not even listed in Mytheatre, if that is the case, where can I find the files (.ini) to update the locations in Mytheatre ?
second question: have I set everything up right? are there any recommendations....?
I know that this may have been the wrong forum to post the questions about the DVB card and Mytheatre, but at this point any help is appreciated, and condsidering that I have not gotten a signal in Mytheatre, perhaps my latitude or alignment settings are off...
Thank you.
