Hi,

I got motorized system from sadoun 3 weeks ago and tried to set it up in the past three weeks with no success.

During the initial setup, I move my dish from true south (195.7 on compass reading) to west using USALS and found Galaxy 11 (91W) gave best signal level (~13-19%). And then I micro-adjusted my true south and dish elevation to achieve maximum signal strength (~33%). I did full power scan and were able to see more than 80 channels. These channels turned to be on IA 5 (97W) but the receiver showed as G11. I also did full power scan of other satellites but only got some channels from adjacent satellites.

I guess I had several degrees off from true south so I carefully turned my alignment towards east for several degrees. Then I got my motor to the reference (0 degree) and reset my receiver. This time I directly move my dish to IA 5 using USALS. I chose a TP which should have signal and micro-adjusted alignment. I still got very weak signal (26%) but that was the maximum strength I could get. Then I did full power scan and it turned out I got channels from AMC4 (101W). I let dish move towards IA6 (93W) and it gave me IA 5 channels. Do not think I am done (I do not mind of wrong name of satellites as long as I have channels), I can only pick up channels of satellites in 90sW. No signals from other satellites.

So something goes wrong here. I called Sadoun tech support and they did not have explanation but guess that I might have a bad receiver.

I have Fortech Lifetime Classic NA, 90mm dish, STAB HH90 motor, Invacom UNI LNBF, 5' tripod. In addition, I have compass and angle locator from Sadoun.

My position is 42.3N and 71.4W (Boston suburban). I set my motor elevation 42.3 and dish elevation 38.5.

Please help!!! I truly appreciate!
