Galaxy 19 not on the sat list in Coolsat 6100. Need help with setup

[polgyver]

Brian, your directions really helped, especially using angle finder on the LNB arm. Though my mast was plumb, the scale on the antenna was at least 8 degrees off.

Now re. mast, is there a better solution for mounting them on Juliette type balcony, especially when I need to have it above the window line to avoid blocking sun for my neighbors?
Unfortunately landlord will not let me drill into walls. Right now I have a 6' pipe with that mount on top.

So, another newbie reported that he had problem with elevation scale on the dish (at least 8 degrees off !). Earlier in this thread, there was a link to Duke Pittsburgh thread, where he reported his elevation scale was 11 degrees off. Isn't it a pattern? It looks that newbies have difficulty with finding PROPER markings on the dish, when setting up the dish's elevation. Newbies lose hours of time in aiming the dishes, while good-intentioned and very friendly, experienced members try to find and offer advice how to fix the problem. Seems we need a good "sticky" post to address this elevation problem.

Apollo,

Haven't heard anything from you in a while. How are you making out with your dish alignment?

If you are still having trouble and willing to spend a few bucks, you could contact a sat installer in your area. Brian from SatAV has a free installer locater service you might try.
