Hi All,

I just install my c-band dish and I read a lot of good thing that I definitively need to take in consideration to be able to be up and running in no time. One of the things I saw in different posts that the actuator motor is set to the right side of the dish and I do have it in the left side. I don't if for people on the west coast is different than east coast.

Any information will be greatly appreciate it.

Best Regards,
pmasterp

Install the motor on the side of your lowest satellite position. If the lowest elevation satellites are on the East side of the arc, install the actuator on the East side of the dish. If the lowest satellites are on the West side of the arc, install the actuator on the West side of the dish.

That's the clearest explanation I've seen on the subject.
