I have my dish pointed only at IA5. I pick up a dozen good Arabic channels. Great material to practice the language.

I sit on IA5 overnight. One of the Arabic channels has a cool japanese cartoon dubbed in Arabic (and I actually understand a lot of it) called Hazeem alRahd. I watch it everynight before going to bed. Nothing like battleships in space shooting at each other.

neil, I just setup my Fortec ultra using AMC 3 (Indianapolis) and had the same problems as you did. I fixed it by first setting the USALS and then finding the AMC3. When I switched the dish to IA5, it found the signal with no probelm. I read that you can only be 5 degrees off the true south...

Thanks for all the help. Unfortunately I cannot roof mount. We have a walk out basement and a steep roof. 3 stories up is not a fun trip. I want to be able to adjust the dish when needed too. I am going to try and side mount with the stabilizers. Looks like I will check out those channels.

thanks Chris. After some tinkering, I finally got my sat installed and the USALS actually worked.

Thanks to both of you. I have an HOA and don't even know if the pole mounted is allowed. Oops. But I still think I'll mount it on the house (and with the stabilizes.) I will try to put holes in the same row of vinyl siding. I did get it to work last night and picked up AMC3 and IA5...

I have a question for the installers. Right now I have my new sat clamped to a ~2.5" fence post in the ground. I'm not really happy with the way it looks so I'm looking for alternatives. I noticed Sadoun sent me on those brackets with the arm that sticks up at 45 degrees then bends again at...

I have an SM3D12 motor. I have found my true south sat (AMC3) but I realize this morning I goofed my setup. I had frost on the brain :) I was going to use the ticks on the arm to swing the dish to IA5 during installation (since I'm doing it myselft). Since I bought the dish to pickup Arabic...

Do the degree marks on the clockwise and counterclockwise arm of the motor = the same degree rotation on the azimuth? ie. If my true south is 184 and IA5 is 197, should my disk rotate 13 degree clockwise? Or does the rotate account for the longitude differences? Jeff (Azeem)
