It sounds like you have your elevation angle wrong m8
As per the guides you generaly get 1 west set and if your elevation and declanation is set correct the the other sats will pick up without problem. If either angle is out (or if the mount is not true vertical) then the dish will not follow the correct arc when motored.
Possible im gonna retry again tommorow, gonna find a plank of wood or something to sorta support my L pole so its 100% vertical, gonna also double check elevation/latitude settings although ive been advised its best too set my latitude (51) on the moter on both sides and leave the dish loose since im gonna need to move that up and down anyhow, ive been moving the entire dish and moter(both units facing straight) towards the direction of 1West I think that sounds about right?
Im gonna try diseqc 1.2 and save the sats i can find if worst comes too worst tommorow.
Either way im treating it as a hobby and new "very" learning experience for now, hopefully benefits and fun comes afterwards lol
