Also, what elevation on the dish scale do I set it to?

Can someone also help me with setting up my DM910 (http://www.dmsiusa.com/dm910.htm) dish motor with the Fortec 80CM dish. On the DM910 motor, it shows the elevation of the motor on one side and latitude on the other side. Which one do I use?

I have the following setup: Captiveworks CW-600S Premium, Fortec Star 80CM dish, DM910 motor and linear Ku-band LBNF. Can someone tell me what my True South satellite is for San Diego 92117?

Actually, it was in "Auto" mode. I changed it to NTSC and now it works fine. Thanks.

OK, I've finally got some quality readings on Galaxy 10R. Thanks to all for your inputs. However, I had to set my dish elevation to 7 degrees higher than what is called for by the satellite from my location. I am using a Fortec Star 80CM dish. The pole is as plumb as I can get it. I was...

Almost everytime that I turn on the receiver the screen just rolls vertically. It looks like the vertical adjustment is off. Anyone know how to fix this?

The LNBF is a Megasat MS1075 with: LO: 10.750 RF: 11.70/12.20GHz GAIN: 55dB N.F.: 0.4dB Could you tell me if this is a universal LNBF?

Just to confirm what I see on the TV screen coming off the CaptiveWorks: Antenna Setting screen: Sat Name: 33 Ku_Telestar 5 (97W) Transponder: 11966/H/22000/Auto LNB Freq: 10750 22KHz: OFF Diseqc#: None (since I'm not connected to a switch at the moment) Motorized system: None

I set the elevation to 46 degrees, here is the picture: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/plee33xg/dish4.jpg I tried slowly scanning the horizon from 90 to 270 but could not find Telstar 5. I get 0 quality and 73% signal all the way through.

Actually, the mast is level. It's just look like it's not by the way I took the picture. I will post a better picture. See: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/plee33xg/dish3.jpg

Even when I have the mast level. The dish is still pointing down on the lowest setting. But when I have it set to 45 degrees the dish still looks like it is pointing to only 20 degrees. It just doesn't look right to me. Is that normal for the dish to point down on the lowest setting (10...

Can someone help me with the elevation of the Fortec Dish? When I have it on the lowest angle 10" (taken off the bracket mount) the dish looks like it is pointing towards the ground. Did I not install the dish right? See the following links for pics...

I forgot to mention when I first got my dish it came with a DSS circular dual LNBF. Not knowing much about LNBF at the time. I was trying to get Telstar5 and Galaxy 10R. Of cource, I could not get any of those channels but I was able to get good quality readings on almost all the circular...

I am new to FTA and would like help in setting up the following: Captiveworks CW-600S Premium, Fortec Star 80CM dish and linear Ku-band LBNF. I do not have a motor yet. I have tried every angle possible and scanned the horizon but could not get any quality reading. I am getting 60 to 80%...
