FTA Installation - Would like a bit of help!

[tvdxer]

Hello. I recently purchased a FTA setup (from Sadoun) consisting of an 80cm Fortec Star dish, 0.5 dB Fortec Star Universal LNB, Fortec Lifetime Ultra receiver, generic satellite strength meter, and STAB HH-120 H-H motor. I have the installation mostly together now, the motor running and all, except for one step (other than having to run it to my room). I need to set the elevation. I believe I set it to 23° using the formula provided by the H-H manufacturer/Sadoun website and my latitude, which isn't a problem. I did move the dish to IA-6 (93° W as opposed to my 92.3° W longitude). Do I need to move it back to 92.3° W to use the 23° elevation setting? How would I accomplish this (by creating a dummy satellite)? Thanks!

At this point I would just stick to the settings you have right now if you are sure you are right, the satellite meter will not work with the universal LNBF so if you are using that to search for the satellite switch over to using the TV and the antenna set up screen to watch for signal quality, on IA6 I would use the below channel/TP to search for quality....
