I checked my settings. Zip 62040. USALS screen SAT Long. 097.0 W. My Long. 038.7 W My Lat. 090.1 N.
I found a website last night that calculated the degree position of the motor to see the sat. I then went to the dish and manually moved the motor to about +7 and
IA5 immediately popped in at around 60% signal. I scanned the sat and found alot of TV and RADIO channels. Only a few had minor tiling, most I can view without much problem. This tells me that my positioning of the motor, dish and mount is pretty close.
I also went to the motor last night, and used a toothpick and pressed the RESET button while the motor was at ZERO. The light flashed from green to orange and then back to green. The motor still does not move to different birds when I choose them. I have to go to the positioner menu, select DiSEqC and then manually move the dish to bring in the sat. Otherwise, the dish does not move unless I use GOTO REF at which point it moves all the way to one side as shown in the first photo above.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or what I can try now?
Thanks!
