whew! got a picture!
Captains log stardate 701.459
Whoa man, news here:
Took off to be home today ... been playing with my dish; hooked up my satellite meter to help, and 'Poof' .. got a big needle jump at one point .. played a bit with adjustments, went back inside and whew, I have this one channel called "Tan TV 4" (I think ,,,?) on my screen in absolute beautiful clarity ... very distinct and clear picture, and sound.
However, me thinks I'm way off course with my original assumed settings, because this is on AMC 4, and I (along with my receiver) had expected to be scanning G10. The receiver thinks it's G10.
So, ... hmm, .. it's a good start however ... I ought to be able to carefully retrace my settings to a correct reference alignment.
Tan Tv 4 comes through perfect ... though no other transmissions do. It in Korean (where's that older brother of mine who is fluent in Korean when I need him!!)
Question: Having established this [one] clear reception now, can I then assume that my dish elevation is now properly set?
I ought to be able to [manually] swing the dish east-west to establish proper alignment(s) with other satellites? correct?
Very cool equipment!
Thanks,
the "rump"
