I have it working in diseqc 1.2 mode. So far I have “found” 79,95,97,101 and 123. I had trouble last night finding 87 but I will work on that one today so I can watch BBQ U. I really appreciate everyone’s help.

Ok based on Satcom1’s response I will have to switch over to diseqc 1.2 mode. My thoughts on how to do this are: Since my dish is most likely pointing real close to true south and my true south Sat. (79) is coming in a little on my motor zero, I will use the move in the tuner to step...

Before I reset the motor this morning: While learning how to work the tuner motor controls, I some how set the south Sat. to the motor zero. When I would send a “Go To Sat Position”, the dish would always go back to zero / 79. When I would go into dish setup, pick a satellite and then push...

The 360 elite does have 2 tuners but I have only been using tuner 1.

The option I have been using is labeled USALS. There is another option that is labeled motor. It only has 3 choices instead of the 4. It has: "Store Position", "Go To Reference" and "Exit". The motor option doesn't have "Go To Sat Position"

Yes it has “Go to Reference”. That is the option I was using to get the dish to move to the individual satellites. It seemed like it would work because I would get different stations on the different satellites. The other 3 options are: “Store Position”, “Exit” and “Go To Sat Position”...

Yeah that was a typo. I fixed it in the original version.

I moved the motor to zero with the motor button and hit the motor reset. I loosened the bolts and adjusted the dish to point to true south. I then unplugged the tuner for about a minute. Once it rebooted, I told it to go to my south Sat 79°. The dish rotated clockwise about 15 marks on the...

Based on your response, I’m realizing I screwed up when I set the tuner up for the motor because when I have it go to zero it goes to my south satellite. I originally set the dish up and aligned it without the motor. When I switched the tuner and dish over to use the motor, I think I...

Because of rain and other projects, I haven’t had time to work on the dish until this evening. I have a good quality on my south Sat 79. On 79 I get KTEL, multiple NYN’s (12182 23,000) and others. I then had the motor move to G3C 95 and did a blind scan of like Satcom1 suggested...

Here is an update. I got some time last night to climb up on the roof. I made adjustments and increased my signal quality on Sat 97w. I then had the motor move the dish to 123w. I made small motor and dish adjustments for over an hour and could never get a signal quality. I now believe...

I have it mounted to a metal vent pipe that comes form the basement and then up through the edge of the roof. It is plumb. I will do a forum search on the invacom lnb weight.

Ok. From what I understand so far is: The green signal bar is pretty much worthless. I need to look at the quality bar that is on the screen when I am watching a channel. The dish probably isn’t aligned with most of the satellites even though on my true south satellite I have a...

On 123 I tried 11720 and 11800 but it didn't find any channels. On 123 I have a signal quality of 58.

This is my first FTA install and the system that I have is listed below: Sonicview 360 Elite 36” Fortec dish Invacom Quad Polar LNB SG-2100 Dish Motor I installed the system and pointed it to my south satellite (79W). I got a signal of 60 so I did a blind scan. The scan found 13...
