Finally got the HH120 Motor and the ViewSat to work, but cannot fine tune enough to get any channels at all on Intelsat 5 97.0W which is my South Satellite for Winnipeg. The Fortec Star 1 meter dish is set exactly for Dish Elevation of 23 degrees (22.7 is the required setting). The Latitude setting on the HH120 Motor is set exactly for 49.9 as per Stab Web site.
Took a small TV and ViewSat Rx on roof today and tried to fine tune for IA5, with no luck. Then I ran Invacom "L" Port directly to LNB In on Motor, and ran Receiver Out of Motor to ViewSat. Did notice that signal Tp levels from the motor up on roof were much higher around 55 to 60, compared to 30 to 40 in house. Moved dish and motor together to try and peak the dish, but after 1.5 hours and frozen fingers, gave up. I can see some high Tp values of "S" and "Q" for 12115 & 12122also 12090, but they are really erratic. Also even when I took OFF the Coax to Viewsat I still saw some high S and Q levels on Tp's 12115 & 12122, how is that even possible?
The Stab HH120 motor works fine, settings for motor Longitude and Lattitude are correct in USALS in the ViewSat. Back in the house, just for an experiment I manually selected sat 61.5 in USALS and went outside & saw the motor drive way over to the left, but again no satellite channels. Can anyone suggest how to fine tune this dish and motor combination to get sat channels on IA5 97.0W? I've read in the Stab Manual that once I have this South Satellite setup all the rest will be easy?
These were my Antenna Settings for ViewSat up on the Roof:
Satellite: Intelsat 5 97.0W
LNB Power: On
LNB Type: Standard
LNB Freq: 10750
22kHz: Off
Search Option: All
DisEqc: None
Motor: USALS
Legacy Sw: None
Any help would be very much appreciated.
