I've been trying to peak my motorized dish - SG2100 and 33 cm dish for a couple of days now with little success. My zip code is 02747 - south of Boston and I used 72.0W as my true south satellite and I am able to receive a signal strength of about 87% for this satellite Using USAL I can track the following satellites 58.0W, 61.5, 72.0W, 79.0W and 81.2. My SG2100 motor is set at 41.5 latitude and the dish (FORTEC) is set to an elevation of 24. Basically, I can track 15 degress east and west of my true south satellite and thats it. Where am I off - should I adjust the dish elevation or motor latitude? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
 
Double check pole for plumb, sometimes the weight of the Dish / Motor pulls it our a little.
If OK, then drive west to the last Sat you can get Quality.
Try to improve Quality, adjust the Dish Elevation Up or Down, make note which way.
