NEW UPDATE:
I spent few hours this Sunday at the roof
I installed the actuator, it was a little hard, but i think i did it well. I carefully did not thigh the bolts of the actuator, only thight enough to not move while retracting or extending.
Since the satellites i want to track begins at, i think, 40w all the way up to the 135w, i fully retract the actuator until i think is the 40w satellite located.
But when i fully extend the 36" actuator, i had a this problem:
The actuator somehow bumps with the polar base. And its not even fully extended yet.
I think, but its just my guess im not very sure, that when the actuator and the polar base hit each other, the dish is pointing somewhere at 140-145w, if thats the case, and since there is nothing more far west than 135w, then i think i will be ok.
If i can reach the 135w without the actuator hitting the polar base, then i think everything is fine then.
But i will know that until i test that satellite.
After that i point my dish to, what i think is my zenith satellite, and proceed to conect the FTA Receiver.
And guess what guys????
Whitout anything else, just connecting the reciever, i pick up the 99w!!!!
WOW! what a GREAT feeling i had when i watched the signal quality in the 72% more less!
I found like 70 channels in the 99w:
Even the weak transponder at 4120H 30000 showed 70%
Then, using the ASC1 i pressed a few times (like 12 or 15 pules) the button to the west, and i got the 101W:
i dont remembered how many channel i got at 101, but it was a lot of channels too
I press the west button again a few more times, and also got the 103W!!
i found this Univision Feed at 103W:
Then the night fall and i couldnt continue, i was also very tired, so i stoped everything and rest:
Thank you guys for all your help!!!
I am REALLY REALLY happy today with my installation progress.
Its taking a LOT of days to finish the whole installation, but that feeling when you have done the work with your own hand is priceless! And when you watch on the tv your first satellite signal pick, its priceless also!
In the next days, i will try to do, in the opinion of the majority, what is the most difficult part of everything, that is, finding all the satellites, and fine tuning the installation.... I hope it wont take another 15 or 20 days
.
Any advice, comment or whatever you wanna say about my installation would be accepted, and i really appreciate your help guys!
Thank you!
Today, im happy
