    Great idea, I think Ill do a little metal work and add support brackets.Hopefully it will help me align this dish,spent a few hours trying to find AMC3,no luck. Checked the basics,support straight and plumb etc.

Spent a hour 2day trying to catch AMC3 by moving the whole motor to true south but its the elevation of the dish that Im having problems. If I move the dish 35 and above I...

    Pansat 2500A does not want to play.

    My machine today registers 20-30% on the level/zero quality.Checked the cables and wiring. Come to think of it all the satellites have that level, even when the antenna is disconnected from the machine. Is my pansat fried? BTW it will still accept and flash (factory flash installed) Thanks

    From IA5 to IA6

    I tried what Pete mention but got stuck on the Pansat 2500A advance scan,what is the download freq and Symbol rate for IA 6 for tp 12126 for example?? I guess if I got these I can see the quality while tweaking the dish. Thanks again

    Aligning a T5 dish for DTV's 95W,difficult??

    Hi all, with my international dish setup pointing @ Telstar 5 I get all kinds of foreign channels.My question is how hard would it be to align the dish to G3 95W. I can get a hold of a Acutrac 22 pro but what I gather its useless to find G3. My plan is to hook this dish up to a D10, open an...
