    STAB HH90 - OK to use the mount included with my 90cm dish?

    I'm not seeing the option "Go To Reference" under the various menus on the receiver. Would it be under another name, or am I just in the wrong menu perhaps?

    STAB HH90 - OK to use the mount included with my 90cm dish?

    Is there an easy way, using my receiver (Amiko Mini HD SE), to set the motor back to zero?

    STAB HH90 - OK to use the mount included with my 90cm dish?

    Disregard the "motor not moving". I guess I was confused on the instructions. I was able to get the motor to move via the receiver, so I guess the motor is not designed to move manually? :) I think I understand now that the "whole dish assembly" means rotate it where the motor is mounted to...

    STAB HH90 - OK to use the mount included with my 90cm dish?

    One other thing. I am unable to rotate the whole motor dish assembly on the pole manually. Does that mean I have something too tight? Here are a few pictures of the way the motor is mounted to the dish.

    STAB HH90 - OK to use the mount included with my 90cm dish?

    Thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it! Okay, so I have everything hooked up now, but I wanted to make sure that the latitude on my motor and elevation on my dish were set correctly. I noticed on the dishpointer website that there are two different elevations listed. On the actual...

    STAB HH90 - OK to use the mount included with my 90cm dish?

    Thanks! Since the motor doesn't have marks on the latitude precise enough to the .7 degree, would I just round up to 40 degrees, or will I just have to try to get it in between 39 and 40 and fiddle around with it until the receiver says exactly where it is? And is this similar to how I would...

    STAB HH90 - OK to use the mount included with my 90cm dish?

    How did you go about setting the altitude on your motor, and also the Geosatpro dish? When I go to dishpointer.com, here are the settings I get when choosing my motor. Do I just set the motor to the latitude listed and dish to the elevation listed? And I noticed there is also a setting on my...

    Thanks guys! I downloaded the instructions from the thread that Ke4est provided. The post from Lowe's should work just fine. And in response to what T4Runner said, I am capable of reading instructions. :) I would have done that originally had some been provided with the motor. Even if the...

    I don't believe the motor came with any instructions. I'll have to look online and see if I can find them. Hopefully there is something about the size of pole you need if you want attach a motor to it. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    Questions For First Time FTA Install

    I'm thinking about going with this one since it's treated and looks nice. Is it overkill and/or overpriced? http://www.lowes.com/pd_578769-215-65547_0__?productId=50120783 What is a recommended diameter for the hole to be dug to? Also, does the Geosatpro 36" dish easily mount to a pole of...

    Questions For First Time FTA Install

    Thanks for the info guys! No bucket it is! :) I noticed on Lowe's website that there are different types of fence post available, 17 gauge and 16 gauge. 16 is more expensive, I assume because it's thicker? Is there one you would recommend over the other? Also some are uncoated and others...

    Questions For First Time FTA Install

    I looked at a few different threads on ground pole installs. One gentleman ended up digging a hole big enough for a 5 gallon bucket, then in the garage he put the mounting post in the 5 gallon bucket and slowly added the concrete, making sure the post stayed level and centered. After the...

    Questions For First Time FTA Install

    I'm ready to go to Lowes and buy a post, cement, etc. More questions. :) 1. Is there a certain type/brand of cement mix that you recommend? 2. I noticed you recommend an 8 foot 2-3/8" galvanized fence post. Is there an advantage of having an 8 foot post as compared to say, a 5 or 6 foot...

    Questions For First Time FTA Install

    Well, I think I've finally decided to do a ground installation. According to the SatelliteAR app on my phone, I am unable to do it in the backyard because the dish would face the house and no clear the roof (unless it is about 10 feet or more away) which is too far into the yard. So I will...

    Okay, so it's been quite a while since I've posted on here. I have all my equipment now (at least I hope so). :) I have a question regarding mounting the Geosatpro 36" dish on my roof and have attached a couple of photos. Will I be able to use the mount to attach both the rotor and the dish...

    Thanks for the info. I will do a little research and see what I can find regarding a tripod and pole and then run it by you guys to see what you think. I'm thinking that putting it where the old dish was might be a good idea. I wouldn't be able to use anything that's existing currently, other...

    Okay. I may end up getting one as a second receiver down the road. I appreciate the info. Well, unfortunately it looks as if I may have to end up doing a roof install. I used a satellite finder app on my smartphone called Satellite AR, and according to the app, in order to mount the...
