Thanks guys. I looked at that link and that is more or less the instructions that were provided with the equipment. Wescopc That is exactly how my dish/motor look. I just got a little satellite signal meter, but I've not yet really gotten a chance to use it. I have to work all weekend, so I...

I did follow the motor directions to the T. However, the instructions for the dish had me put the dish bracket on one way, but in order to be able to attach the dish to the motor I had to rotate the bracket 180 degrees. That's why I'm not so sure the angle scale on the dish bracket is correct...

Well guys, I won't be starting a career in satellite dish installation any time soon.I got my system, but have been completely unsuccessful in finding a satellite. I have 90cm geosatpro dish / gs-120 geosatpro motor / fortec mercury II receiver.I'm temporarily in Waco, TX (lat-97.1 long-37.1)...

Thanks guys, some of my OTA digital channels to the south aren't so good, and I suspect it may be due to the lines. Anyways, that's why I was curious. Only time will tell.

As some of you guys know I'm pretty new here. I'm waiting on my system to arrive (any day now.) To get to the point, I was curious if have to worry about electromagnetic interference with a satellite system. I have a set of high tension power lines south of me. It occured to me today as I was...

Thanks turbosat. I'll let ya'll know how things are going once I get my system.Later

Do you guys know off the top of your heads of any NBC channels on FTA Ku band. I've been browsing the sat's listed on lyngsat but haven't seen any NBC channels yet (other than feeds). My TV antenna just tries and tries but cannot get a decent signal for the local NBC, and I'm DESPERATE to watch...

Thanks Iceberg. I think I'll go ahead and try out a motor after all. Hey Turbosat, is AMC-6 the most eastern satellite you pick up in Bama? (just curious) Thanks again for the kind words and helpful info, fellas.

I want to get a motor for my dish eventually. I'm waiting on my first system and decided not to get a motor right away. I guess I was scared off by all of the "hobbyist item" and "no technical support" talk. My question is, are the motors that much harder to set up? I just have the feeling that...

Hey guys, I've been casually looking into the FTA satellite scene for about a year. Now I've finally taken the plunge, I've ordered a system online (now I just have to play the waiting game 'til it arrives.) Anyway, you guys have an awesome site here, and there are so many people that seem to...
