Your Dish/motor angles are correct for your location.
Trouble shooting steps:
Make sure
1- The post is vertical and solid.
2- The mount - dish - lnbf feedarm - and LNBF are all pointing to TRUE SOUTH.
3- On SBS6 there are no active or LIVE transponders. Try using another satellite. I recommend AMC 5 at 79.0°W whic has 2 live transponders per lyngsat.com (11742 V 11110, and 12185 H 15000)
4- On the Fortec Star receiver, select AMC 5 from the satellites list.
5- Go to TP DATA and select the transponder that has a frequency similar to the above. If not found, go to the TP that says USERS Defined and enter one of the frequencies, polarity, and symbol rate above.
6- Go to POSITIONER and change it to DiSEqC 1.3
7- Click OK on DiSEqC 1.3 and enter you Long / Lat
8- Make sure your Long has a "W" for west after the value. To switch between W and E, use the "page up" button on the remote
9- Click on USALS
10- The motor should move the dish to AMC 5.
11- After the dish stops moving, chech the signal and quality. If not GREEN, use your hands to change the motor azimuth slowly East or West until you see the GREEN bars. Maximize it and then tighten the motor on the post.
12- Click on START and scan the satellite for any available channels.
13- Go back to the CHANNEL SEARCH screen.
14- Select another satellite (i.e. Galaxy 3C, T5, or any other satellite)
15- Scroll down to the TP DATA and select one of the LIVE transponders on that satellite.
16- Go to positioner, click on DiSEqC 1.3 and then click on USALS
17- After the dish stops moving, you should see GREEN signal and quality.
18- If not, try adjusting the dish elevation a little.
19- Click on START and scan the satellite.
20- Repeat for other satellites
As far as the cable run, it is too long. Make sure you have RG6 cable. You might want to run an RG11 cable for this length. Anyone else has any suggestions for RAMBO??
