Sure Anole. I'll snap some to show the final install. Hopefully it will help someone in the future.

Just wanted to close on this. Dish was not pointed right (as everyone suspected). Lesson: don't go by the markings on the dish. Mine was close to 10% off.

So mission accomplished, I kid you not, my dish was close to 10 degrees off with its markings.

Found that my bracket from my dish has a lip on it, which was throwing off the angles. I machined the lip away and will try again tonight. Thanks for the input guys.

Thanks Tron. Dug up this old post, http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=19818&page=2 I have the same dish with the same problem. Anyone have info on how to get teh right angle from the bracket to the dish? Thanks.

I have a Digiwave 33" dish and I can't seem to calculate the correct angles to aim my dish. I have a Digipower SG-2100 and based on my latitude my declination angle is 7.55 I can't seem to locate any satellites. My info: EDMONTON, AB T5A 0A1 Canada Latitude: 53.597 N Longitude: 113.416...

Ok was able to pick up a satellite by pure luck. Please see my new thread...

We've tried several, I even tried plugging in a neighbour's BEV box and tried aiming at the BEV satellite. Nothing, doesn't even register any signal at all. Tried my Coolsat at his house and it picks up the BEV satellite, NIMIQ 82/91.

I tried several, right now we can't find anything . - 101 W° - AdventistSat - AMC 4 But can't get anything. What are the chances that we have a bad LNB?

So I removed my switch, plugged directly into the Motor, motor still runs fine, set my long./lat. for Edmonton, set to USALS, change switch type, aimed at the suggested satellites and still nothing on the bottom bar... :( I still get between 70-99 on the top bar. The pole looks plumb, but I...

Thanks for the instructions Anole. I'll try this today and report back.

Thanks for the reply, I am Edmonton, Alberta. Checked the motor manual, but it doesnt say anything about Coolsat 8000 settings. Oh and you're right, the Invacom is QPH-031. The motor manual says aim the dish true south. I'm lost after that :( Should I reset the motor and start over?
