    HH Motor Install, Frustration and Recommendations?

    I had a STAB HH120 that was awesome. Never missed a position and ran like a champ for years. That would be my best HH I've ever used. Does anyone in the US sell STAB anymore? I've got 4-5 Chinese HH motors in the basement that are garbage. I have a SG2100 on the roof now that doesn't work well...

    Satellite AV Contest - GEOSATpro microHD - Enter to Win - Drawing on 6/11/2012

    Pictures Inside - Help With Low Quality + OmegaSat DSB5701 + LNB

    Can you take a photo of the area your dish is pointing at? To me this sounds like a tree issue. The wind blowing the leaves into the path of the satellite signal. On calmer days signal is OK, but when there is a little more wind loss of signal.

    All strength no quality.

    I know this sounds stupid but I've done this before when switching receivers to test. My one receiver has the LNB IN connection on top and my other receiver has the LNB IN connection on the bottom and I just quickly swapped the cable. Took me an hour to find out why my motor wasn't moving the...

    Yep that is a lot of trees. Maybe do a site survey with a home made clinometer to make sure what sats you can see. http://www.virtualmaths.org/activities/topic_shapes/theod2/resources/clinometer.pdf

    Is this the only cable going outside? Are there other cables coming in to the house? You also mentioned this: Although here, I haven't done the math to see if I'm over the tree line, where as the first bird I know I am. What is your southern most satellite? That should be the highest in the...
