Motorised satellite set-up?

Question

Hi All,

I pulling my hair out at the moment trying to set my motorised satellite dish up.

I have followed the instructions to the letter and still no joy, i know the system will work as when i point it at astra i get tv, all so when i tell the usals to do there bit the motor go's to the coorect degree.

i live at latitude 51.3 longditude 0.7 i have set the motor to the correct latitude and the dish to 30 degrees and i am pretty sur i am pointing true south.

i called a local dish guy today and was qouted £149 just to line the dish up!!!.

i have the dish on a pole 7ft with clear line of site and i am using a sat finder, should it really be this hard to do.

i never had any problems setting up my sky.

Please help as this is going to be a birthday present i will have to put in the bin...

Answer 1

Possibly you reversed some of the wires at the position controller.

That could cause the dish to either:

1) Rotate in the opposite direction.

2) be set 120 degrees out.

3) be set 240 degrees out.

4) stop completely.

Check your installation manual.
