I'm wondering regarding the paid channels, is there are way to unlock those. Where would I have to sign up to obtain those channels?

I did blind scan and got much more channels than before, I compared the list of channels (over 300 but lots of repeats) to the ones northgeorgia posted. So I think this is definitely 97.0w. There seems to be some potential for sports on 97 (I'm looking for mostly soccer), I'm also looking for...

I finally got a signal. Just used my cell <-> home phone to see if there are any specific changes in the signal sound (beep set to ON) while adjusting. Then set the transponder settings and got over 62 Q on 97.0W, up to 80 Q on a few others (although no channels found on those). Some of the...

For LONG and LAT, I entered always in decimal form. ie: 43.7 LAT, I enter via the receiver.

No problem, some really good advice as well. Thanks.

thanks, I will try what you suggest but might have to continue some other time this week. One question, when I swing it do I make sure the motor is on 0 or to the correct position (that was set via USALS) for the specific satellite?

It may seem rotated because the motor is not at 0 at the moment. I left it like that at the 97.0 satellite with the receiver (via USALS). (Usually I reset it to 0 and start all over again with South etc...and then I go to the receiver and then back for adjustments) I then very slightly moved...

For the dish bracket angle, I had it set for 23.3 and 42 previously, after tweaking and giving up that is where I left off.

give me a few minutes...

Hi jorgek, Thanks again but unfortunately I still couldn't get any signal over 10 Q on 97 nor 95 (tried both). Here is my recent setup: My latitude is pretty much the same as yours (43.7 degrees). Here is what the motor manual indicates for 43.7 (rounded to 44): Elevation angle: 46...

omg, thank you this may help me indeed. Will check first thing tomorrow using your parameters. I purchased and installed wall mount brackets and 5 ft poll since the mounting pole that came with the dish was bent out of shape when I re-clamped the motor multiple times and prevented me from...

For 1) my starting point is 97.0West. 2) 10.75 GHZ 3) I will have to recheck that on the receiver, but first I have to fix my mounting issue before I start testing again. Thanks for the response.

I have the Digiwave DGL-990D KU-Band LNBF.

Thanks, I think you're right, I remember now there is a little notch to the right of the nut on the motor. all this time I was using the center of the nut for the alignment. Looking at the manual it seems like the drawings were using the nut as well. For the dish I don't think there is a notch...

I have the latitude set at on the motor bracket as my current latitude. And for the dish angle level I set it as what the motor manual indicated at 23.3 given my latitude. The bolt/nut is a little wide for precise angle so for the given angle I position it relative to the center of the...

I did what was suggested but I wasn't able to find a satellite signal on any satellites with or without using the motor. When I had the motor set on a certain position (ie: 97w), I moved the dish itself very slowly (on its own scale/angle bracket) to various positions. I checked using a...

I'm trying to align the dish motor to get only the galaxy south west-oriented satellite signals. Here is what I did so far: I double checked the main mounting pole is vertically aligned with level. I positioned the motor (set default at 0 degrees) along with the dish to point directly to...

Thank you everyone for the response, much appreciated.

Hi, I've taken the advice of the forum members here (thank you) and decided to setup a motorized dish for picking up the Galaxy etc.. FTA satellite signals. There might be possibility that if the satellite moves too far south east, there is some siding sticking out and I'm a bit worried that...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into how to install the motor and set it up.

What are your recommendations?

Hi northg, I don't know to be honest. I just want to setup FTA with some good satellite signals from Canada and America (I live in Toronto Ontario Canada) (since the European I wanted in this thread seems to be out of the question). My budget is aimed for 2 recievers, and up to 5 satellite...

Thanks for the welcome.

Hi, I have a question regarding satellite alignment for 19.2E & 13E for my current location I found it requires: Elevation: -10.5° Azimuth (true): 268.1° Azimuth (magn.): 278.5° Dish Skew [?]: 44.8° Does -10.5 Elevation mean its below the horizon of my current location and...
