I just recently purchased a Fortec Lifetime system with a 36" dish and a Powertech DG 240 motor. When I first purchased the system it was without the motor and it took just minutes to find any satellite. I put the motor on and at first had trouble, but then dialed in 5 satellites, but my favorite satellite (Galaxy 10R 123W) I can't get. I took the motor back off and hit it within minutes. With the motor I hit 87W, 93W, 95W, 99W and 127W. My location is Lat: 39.9 Long: -82.0 Motor angle 40, Azimuth 187.7 (using compass) declination is 6.3 and dish elevation should be 29. Any helpful tips?
