    dish alignment issue

    I'm wondering regarding the paid channels, is there are way to unlock those. Where would I have to sign up to obtain those channels?

    dish alignment issue

    I did blind scan and got much more channels than before, I compared the list of channels (over 300 but lots of repeats) to the ones northgeorgia posted. So I think this is definitely 97.0w. There seems to be some potential for sports on 97 (I'm looking for mostly soccer), I'm also looking for...

    dish alignment issue

    I finally got a signal. Just used my cell <-> home phone to see if there are any specific changes in the signal sound (beep set to ON) while adjusting. Then set the transponder settings and got over 62 Q on 97.0W, up to 80 Q on a few others (although no channels found on those). Some of the...

    dish alignment issue

    For LONG and LAT, I entered always in decimal form. ie: 43.7 LAT, I enter via the receiver.

    dish alignment issue

    thanks, I will try what you suggest but might have to continue some other time this week. One question, when I swing it do I make sure the motor is on 0 or to the correct position (that was set via USALS) for the specific satellite?

    dish alignment issue

    It may seem rotated because the motor is not at 0 at the moment. I left it like that at the 97.0 satellite with the receiver (via USALS). (Usually I reset it to 0 and start all over again with South etc...and then I go to the receiver and then back for adjustments) I then very slightly moved...

    dish alignment issue

    For the dish bracket angle, I had it set for 23.3 and 42 previously, after tweaking and giving up that is where I left off.

    dish alignment issue

    Hi jorgek, Thanks again but unfortunately I still couldn't get any signal over 10 Q on 97 nor 95 (tried both). Here is my recent setup: My latitude is pretty much the same as yours (43.7 degrees). Here is what the motor manual indicates for 43.7 (rounded to 44): Elevation angle: 46...

    dish alignment issue

    omg, thank you this may help me indeed. Will check first thing tomorrow using your parameters. I purchased and installed wall mount brackets and 5 ft poll since the mounting pole that came with the dish was bent out of shape when I re-clamped the motor multiple times and prevented me from...

    dish alignment issue

    For 1) my starting point is 97.0West. 2) 10.75 GHZ 3) I will have to recheck that on the receiver, but first I have to fix my mounting issue before I start testing again. Thanks for the response.

    dish alignment issue

    Thanks, I think you're right, I remember now there is a little notch to the right of the nut on the motor. all this time I was using the center of the nut for the alignment. Looking at the manual it seems like the drawings were using the nut as well. For the dish I don't think there is a notch...
