Brian - I actually was talking about latitude on the motor, not elevation. I had a brain fluff and confused the two words. :) FaT Air - Thanks for the transponder settings. After moving the motor and dish assembly, I was able to get a Q signal reading on 83W of 56. Unfortunately after I got...

Okay, I was unable to get the dish to find anything on 83W. Do you know what an active transponder is for that satellite? I used 11840 H 26666 but am not sure if that is still active. I tried moving the motor and dish assembly with no signal. I even tried adjusting the dish elevation without...

Okay, I think I've made a little progress. So far I am able to get to 3 satellites with the motor, but that is all. 87W SES2 - L90 Q46 97W G19 - L90 Q60 103W AMC1/3 - L90 Q72 When pressing the info button on the remote, I am noticing I have different L and Q values for each satellite I am...

Thanks RT-Cat! :) I have a question about the receiver and moving the dish motor back to zero. When I select the USALS option and then Go to Reference, the screen will show "Moving dish to reference point", but then will not go away. How long is that supposed to stay on the screen? There is...

Thanks, Fred! That worked! Michael, thanks again for the file. I'm currently moving some files off of my USB flash drive so I can copy that file in order to install it on my receiver. You'll never believe what happened. I am able to get some stations on Galaxy 19! I can't believe it. I...

I need some help, if possible, in fixing my Amiko Mini HD SE receiver. The issue started when I was attempting to move my STAB HH90 motor back to zero. I was unable to find any "Go To Reference" option on the receiver so I thought that maybe doing a reset would move the motor back to zero...

I'm not seeing the option "Go To Reference" under the various menus on the receiver. Would it be under another name, or am I just in the wrong menu perhaps?

Is there an easy way, using my receiver (Amiko Mini HD SE), to set the motor back to zero?

Disregard the "motor not moving". I guess I was confused on the instructions. I was able to get the motor to move via the receiver, so I guess the motor is not designed to move manually? :) I think I understand now that the "whole dish assembly" means rotate it where the motor is mounted to...

One other thing. I am unable to rotate the whole motor dish assembly on the pole manually. Does that mean I have something too tight? Here are a few pictures of the way the motor is mounted to the dish.

Thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it! Okay, so I have everything hooked up now, but I wanted to make sure that the latitude on my motor and elevation on my dish were set correctly. I noticed on the dishpointer website that there are two different elevations listed. On the actual...

Thanks! Since the motor doesn't have marks on the latitude precise enough to the .7 degree, would I just round up to 40 degrees, or will I just have to try to get it in between 39 and 40 and fiddle around with it until the receiver says exactly where it is? And is this similar to how I would...

How did you go about setting the altitude on your motor, and also the Geosatpro dish? When I go to dishpointer.com, here are the settings I get when choosing my motor. Do I just set the motor to the latitude listed and dish to the elevation listed? And I noticed there is also a setting on my...

Thanks guys! I downloaded the instructions from the thread that Ke4est provided. The post from Lowe's should work just fine. And in response to what T4Runner said, I am capable of reading instructions. :) I would have done that originally had some been provided with the motor. Even if the...

I don't believe the motor came with any instructions. I'll have to look online and see if I can find them. Hopefully there is something about the size of pole you need if you want attach a motor to it. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!
