I got my motor installed.

Works great, only had to adjust the elevation on the dish 3* from where the instructions said put it.

(I didn't exactly follow instructions as posted with the true south etc., I used G10R )


edit: I do have a problem though, when I use a switch


Recv---- 22k sw - on--- motor dish-- diseqc "A"
.........................- off--- sta. dish --- diseqc "b"

set up like that, the dish won't move.

take out the 22k switch and everything works fine. I tried 2 switches.... what am I doing wrong?

:up :up :up
Good for you. I also used G10 when i set mine up 'cause my TS sat ended up being lined up perfectly with a very large pine tree. Its great to see the dish swing around and actually see the quality bar light up.

If its a Universal LNBF it will not work with a 22khz switch!

 

[Mr Tony]

put the switches between the LNB's (dishes) and the motor.


receiver---motor----22k---diseqc----LNB

I just used a diseqc and left the 22khz out....

It works wonderfully!

I am using an invacom quad lnb and it gets the free music, and picks up G10R like no one's business.

My next move is a larger dish, I think it'll be easy changing out the dish because the motor is already set up correctly.

Thanks all for the help, I now too have an awesome setup!

The original plan involved using the quad to feed the E* reciever, but now that the dish moves, it sorta doesn't make sense to eliminate that dish.
(Plus I couldn't figure out how to mount 8 LNB's to one dish)

Ok, problem... the tube the dish mounts on wobbles a little on the hub it's mounted to, it's enough to loose signal completely.

I tightened up the bolt as tight as I feel comfortable doing, but it's still wobbly...

Help?
