I have 1.3m dish and a Technomate TM-2200 motor attached to a TM-6800HD Super
During the recent gales my dish rotated on its bracket and I had to realign it.
In the process of retuning I found that I "lost" a number of the weaker TPs on 28.2 - the whole signal strength had dropped by 10-15% and almost everything on Nile 7W.
This confused me since I thought I'd aligned with Thor approximately due South !!!!
Tried again today by realigning the whole orientation of the dish and managed to get most things
back.
Can anyone advise me why this should be...is it to do with the tilt as the dish rotates and the angle (rotation polarity) of the LNB ?
How critical is the the dish points due South ?
How critical is the rotation angle of the LNB ?
