47.5 N to be exact. Thanks.

Alright guys. So I ended up having to pay a guy to set it up for me. He couldn't do motorized but what we did was put the motor on and aimed for Galaxy 19. I think the quality bar is 80-90% now. Here is my current set up: Motor latitude: 48 Dish elevation: 15 Skew: negative (LNB has no marking...

So this is a brand new house. I assume the wall plate works because before we had cable internet running through it.

Q is always zero. I heard it takes 30 secs to get the signal? I got the coax running from the LNB and then connecting it to a coax cable on the outside wall. Then I connected the receiver to the wall plate.

OK so right now I'm aiming for 97W on a fixed set up. My settings are: elevation = 30.1 Azimuth = 147.3 Skew = -21.4 LNB. I turned this clockwise. Elevation. You can't see it but the number marking is for 30. Satellite says intelsat but it is actually 97W The next few pictures is me...

Does it matter if the names of the satellites aren't up to date. For example, 123W actually says Galaxy 10R. I downloaded the firmware from sonicview website and updated already.

In 7th grade I rode on one of those small, "special" yellow buses. LOL. It was kinda embarrassing.

would like to own a GEOSATpro 90cm dish to watch these channels: Vietnamese channels on 97W

Alright so I took the motor out to do a fixed set up and nothing. Do you guys thing it's the receiver? I bought it new. I've seen some posts where Sonicview wouldn't get signal. I wonder if there is a DTV receiver than can receive FTA signal? I may borrow one from someone I know if I can.

chapelrun, I have the SG2100. I used the same website but not able to get anything. Did you use all the same exact settings that this website gave you like I did?

The 41 deg, you mean the motor elevation angle right? The motor's booklet has 48 latitude with motor angle of 42. I do have a question about dishpointer.com though. When I put my address in, the green line runs straight down my house. But the compass wants me to go west a little bit.

I understand that it has to be plumb. My question is is there a difference between adjusting the plumb with vs without the dish attached. The reason I asked is I initially mounted the pole plumb without the dish. Now I just had to adjust the pole but I left the dish attached to the pole. Thanks.

The instructions from the motor's booklet made it sounds easy. However, did anyone tried this method before? The thing is the website has 2 boxes that the booklet didn't: motor tube angle and antennae bracket elevation.

Thanks. What do you think of picture 1 vs 2 though? I mean it's really weird because one side is pretty plumb it seems like and the other side is not so much.

1. Dishpointer wants me to set the motor elevation/altitude angle at 47.5 degrees. While the instruction booklet for the motor says that for latitude of 47, I should have the motor elevation angle at 43? 2. I rechecked the pole. Picture 1 is the measurement I used when I mounted it and this is...
