    Is arc too high or too low?

    If both *ends* are off, rather than azimuth/needing to go east or west a bit See Tron's post above re: Declination angle When you changed motors from the SG6000 to the HH90, you probably needed to change the bracket on the back of the dish itself (Mine is different for the HH90and the DG380B...

    this motor is driving me nuts!

    I'm keeping it for another dish, but Sadoun must be shipping now to fill backorders, which this was

    Local Channels, Radius

    In my experience, it isn't so much a radius as the nearest market, and not all channels from that market are necessarily included I'm out in the Country between a triangle of cities 60 miles one way is Austin, Tx, they included most of those but not all as local I'm also 60 miles from...

    Total newbie here

    The only reason I consider multiple upgrades is that before I knew better, I bought Sadoun's C band motorized kit, and that's what it contains, a 6' prime focus. I'd have been thrilled to buy a kit with a 8'/10'/12'/15' mesh dish and MicroHD, but I didn't find any so ... that's what I got...

    I re-read ... Reducing a 6" pipe to a 3" pipe isn't tough, been doing things like that for over 45 years. In fact, a person could sink a 12" pipe into the ground, set it in concrete, and have it stick a few feet above ground, and pour concrete into that pipe and set any diameter pipe inside...

    this motor is driving me nuts!

    You old-timers/experienced guys will get a laugh out of me wasting a day but ... What would be nice is if The manual for the HH90 had had in the directions for setting up *dish* elevation when setting up USALs which they omitted, but included in the section for setting up DiSEqC1.2 The motor...
