Well guys I got my Geosat/VisionSat motorized kit from SatelliteAV and with testing it on my deck over the last month, I have moved it to the roof last weekend with a homemade mount. I made dang sure it was plumb and then went to 95 (my TS) and got CCTV sited in. The satdishpointer website is really handy. They even have a setting for motorized setups. It worked! The only item i had to adjust was a couple of degrees up on the dish itself. I went west to each bird and BANG all are on! The only one was White Springs @ 129 and I then played with the skew. I move it a couple of degrees and it hit 60% quality. I was nervous that all other western birds would be messed up, but NO they got stronger. Now I went to all the eastern birds and they are ALL strong! This is fun! I have the entire belt dialed in except the circular ones and I really don't care for them. I made it to 58 degrees with Cubavision.
I am in Houston and I think I should be able to hit Intelsat 3R and Hispasat at 30. This is where i need the group's help. Can you hit those bird with a motorized setup or do they need separate manual dishes?
Also I forgot too add I carefully modified the FDU file with the buggy software and got all the birds entered. I download it to the receiver without any issues.
The main point is to make sure it is plumb! I really like the bubble gauge supplied it REALLY helps. Then adjust the skew on the end birds to tweak the final belt.
Thanks for the help guys!
