    I have a manhattn 6800 with diseq 1.3
    A 0.3 db LNB
    A SM3D12 Satellite Motor
    1 Metre Dish

    My co ordinates are 52.3 Latitude & 9.1 Long

    I have set my motor angle to 52 degrees as per the instructions in the manual and my dish incline

    I have set my motor to zero and have found 8 degrees west satellite (Telecom) getting a signal value of 78% Signal with 88% Quality

    When I try to download from another satellite the dish moves ok .....
    I have tried to down load fron 5 East but get 79% signal with only 37% quality. Anything out side of this I get nothing at all.......

    On the west side I can get 5 and 12 West out to 30 West no problems but again get nothing.......


    What's happening....... I know that one I have this reading from the satellite and locked it off I am nearly there.......Please help



    Many thanks


    Jimmy

    what do you mean when you say you get nothing. can you not scan each satellite when you move to it. i would say it took me many hours to get motor set up from 30w to 30e .if the motor is not vertical you can tighten the bolts slowly by different amounts and you will get it vertical.thats what i did as the wall mount was a bit off.i have mine set up at 8w as well and i am in the midlands.i take it you have a cheapo sat finder which are a must for setting up a motor.when i was doing mine i left the sat finder connected to the motor (not recommended from what i read) and then i would quickly know how far out each satellite was. its a real tedious task setting up a motor and hopefully i will not have to do mine again.
