- If you cannot find a sat in the fixed position it will be MUCH harder to set up the motor. Especially if you cannot aim your dish to true south. But it is possible.
-A FTA LNB is not good for the ECHO 7 sat, that sat needs what is called a CIRCULAR LNB (the ones that come off a Directv or Dishnet dish) Now, if you are
aiming to a echo 7 transponder, most likely the FTA LNB will pick up some signals from echo 7 but they will be weak. And if you do get a signal, it doesnt mean its on echo 7 (119w) but it could mean your on echo 6-8 (110w).
-The picture you sent is not what I wanted, sorry about that. If you can take a shot just a bit lower so I can see the LNB Bracket on the arm, that would be good.
-One thing i forgot to mention is make sure the lnb is farthest away from the dish on the bracket. In other words, pull the lnb away from the dish as much as possible. This puts it where the focal point should be.
-Make sure on the recevier you have it selected to G10R/ku and TP 11920 V 28066. And make sure nothing else is on like disecq and such.
- A good way to aim the dish left/right is to extremely and very slowly move it constantly about a degree a second.. you might catch a good signal.
-You must play around with the elevation, even if its off.. dont look at the markings, just look at the signal level. Adjust elevation after you have achieved the max level from left and right adjustment.
-Make sure you have your stuff connect right.. and the lnb cable is in the IF input.
-Make sure the cable you are using is RG-6.
