I have been being helped here with this
installation, and thanks to this forum, I watched the sun all day this past Monday knowing it was following very close to the needed arc of view and selected a spot for my dish.
I set a 2 3/8 galvanized fence post in about 22" - 24" of concrete and it is perfectly level and plumb all around the post and on the top.
I aimed at what I thought to be true south but was seeing
IA5, so, I backed up a few degrees and tried IA5 and needed minimal adjustment for 70% signal. There is no separate on screen meter for quality, but, the bar changed color like it has for all the rest of the sats.
Most of the sats I have tried to view have been right on. A couple though, I had to change from USALS to DiSEqc and bump the dish left or right one to two bumps of the button.
However, some sats just have ZERO signal, 99 being one of them. Lyngsat shows it as Galaxy 16, but, my receiver shows it as G4 I think. But, I cannot figure out why it is not hitting some of the sats but, is hitting many others. The farthest east I have tried is PAS 9 and it hit right on.
The ones I have are: IA5, G10, AMC4 & 5, IA13, G11, G3 & PAS9.
Have tried AMC 1 & 3 with the range of 13% - 26% by bumping it two to three bumps east or west depending upon which one I am trying. I have also tried pulling up and down on the dish to peak the ones above that I do have, and the AMC's when I have hit the 13-26% range.
Anything else to try? Thanks.
