Right I have setup my dish to thor 1w and everything is good until i move it via the motor to any other satalite i get nothing

If someone could go over my settings i would really appreciate it

via multi map i get the following for :

Lat: 53:33:38N (53.56057)
Lon: 2:27:10W (-2.45276)

So into my reciever im putting lat = 53.6 and lon = 2.5W

Is that correct?

My other issue is me actual dish

I have 2 scales, one on the motor and one on the dish. I think this is where im doing something wrong. Either i'm out on setting these but then i think i cant be cos im getting a picture on thor

Any help is much appreciated

is the pole perpendicular meaning perfectly straight in both axis
because if it isnt this will knock it out on the sats
u have to set it up pointing to true south and then drive to thor
 
yes was back up the ladder yesterday to check that it was perfectly striaght
 
sounds like u have got the scale on the dish set up wrong, so u are missing rest of sats search for sat instalation in search box u will find all the info u need there, stick with it though u will get there in the end
 
Have you set the motor bracket to 53.6 as well, as this will determine the pitch of the arc when your dish moves.
This needs to be set to your lattitude as your "view" of the sats changes the further north or south you are.
You could be spot on when in the middle of the arc (Thor) but then too high or too low for the rest of the arc.

If i set the one on the motor to 53.6 what do i set the one on the dish too?

No mate the one on your motor should be ur lattitude and the one on ur dish should be you DISH ELEVATION this should be set the the manufactors settings for ur area


Hope this helps.
