How to align cband dish is south fl

[qwerty81]

I got 99 degrees sat. Ok measured and ring is approx off by 1/32 at 4 o'clock when is measure down the throat its off by about 1/8 is that ok I have the scaler that came with the bsc621, and I think its a piece of crap to much movement and one fixing screw.

For C Band, it's probably OK, but best to be exact, especially for Ku.
You probably just need to tweak everything to get a better Signal.

Should I purcase an LNB with a servo motor for skew adjustment? Or is the BSC621 that I have sufficent? I am trying to get dvb hd sportsfeeds and I want to be as accurate as possible.

I would motorize.

Has anyone motorize one of these stationary fortec dishes?

I dont believe they sell the polar mount alone. I got it working now on cband needed to take out one screy on each feeder arm and then rotate lnb with holder to get it to work. I'll show pic if needed for anyone who goes thru this.

Lak7, Thank you for your help along with the others who chimed in.

Can any of you tell me which sats these are, I wanna go wild feed hunting and it seems a lot are on analog, and after this fiasco I LOVE ANALOG so easy to tune!!!!!!

I have some of those old sat designations programmed into my Toshiba, maybe someone else can help with the ones I don't know.

T5 = G25 @ 97W
T6 = G26 @ 93W
G3 = G3 @ 95W
G6 = ???
G7 = G11 @ 91W
W3 = AMC3 @ 87W
W4 = AMC4 @ 101W
F2 = ???
