Thanks again for the links and the help. I've got to get this actuator fixed and get this gbox going so I can start hunting. Tim

It just dawned on me that I am not getting all of the channels that I can because I am not switching polarity. I have a new LNB ordered, it just hasn't arrived yet. Thanks for the link. Looks like that repair may be a chore. Can I trouble you with a few more questions? Once I get the actuator...

I changed the settings you suggested, got the dish swung the right direction and was able to pickup G-19. Thanks for your help, Tim

Thanks for looking everything over. I finally got it yesterday. Math was not my strongest subject in school and the angles were confusing me on which direction to hold the inclinometer. It also looked as if I changed the extreme elevation, that would change the dish elevation (labeled in your...

Ok, I still have something wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction? Here is the info from dishpointer.com Your Location Latitude: 32.6001° Longitude: -96.2877° Satellite Data Name: True South / True North Distance: 36955km Dish Setup Data Motor Latitude: 32.6° Declination Angle...

Yeah, I hope it something simple like built up crud. I've got to take a better look and see if I have those bolts. I emailed Venture Manufacturing (in case it was one of theirs) and they sent me the following instructions: Check limit switch to see if the extend switch is activated. This could...

Guess I really overlooked the obvious on that one :) Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on it. I'll start with the tube and see what happens. After wading around on Google for awhile, I sent an email to Venture to see if I could get instructions on tearing it down. So I'm kinda on hold until I can get that actuator to extend, right? Thanks, Tim

Made some progress today but had to stop due to rain. I won't complain since we are in a drought. Got the cables pulled, got the motor turned around right, got some pics and more questions. I went out to dishpointer.com to try again and see if I was pointed in the right direction. I have a...

Thanks for all the replies. I picked the dish up about 120 miles from where I live. I am in North Texas and we are pretty flat up here, so I thought the angles would be about the same. I looked at dishpointer and swung it into what I thought was the true South position. I then got way ahead of...

Well, actually my first dish and I know nothing about setting them up. I found a 10' Unimesh on Craigslist and brought it home. Got it planted and the post is plumb. Needs some TLC, but I thought I would do that after I got it set back up. It also came with a Toshiba TRX-2220 receiver. I have a...
