I have a 36" Von weis actuator. I have it centered on 72W. I can tune as far east as 20W. How far west should I be able to go? Is there a way I can adjust the actuator to not go as far east but go further west?

You can loosen the actuator ball split clamp and slide it in or further out, but you'll have to reset your satellite positions as they will be off.
