With a sg-2100 motor you need to subtract your declination from the motor shaft angle. The shaft angle is 30 degrees, so 30-4.377=25.6. so you need to set the elevation on the dish scale, not the motor scale to 25.6. You said you can get galaxy 10 but not Hispasat, there is a lot of territory between the two, can you get other satellites, just not Hispasat?
yes i can get pas9,amazonas,IA-5,amc3,T-6, and several others,but,quality on T-6 PBS channels is only around 68% and breaking up too,IA-5 i have a sub for inxworld and quality isn't good on that sat either around 70%, i'm using the invacom circular/linear lnb that i purchased from sadoun and if i get a 95 to 97% quality signal on 82 ( just to check for proper tracking ) then 119 is only around 72 to 76 % and i totally lose G10 and still wouldn't have hispasat either. today i got hispasat @ 97% quality while trying to adjust the dish,but,had nothing on G10 or 119.
