I have successfully set up my
satellite dish equipment and everything seems to work fine. When I change between dishes, the motor seems to aim to the correct dish and I get a pretty good signal for almost every satellite. Today I noticed something that I cannot seem to explain. The motor rotates and aims properly at my Southern-most satellite (Telstar 5) and all of the satellites to the West of that. However, it will not rotate any further East than my Southern-most satellite. My location is in Ruston, LA (longitude=92.6 W and latitude=32.5 N). In the DiSEqC 1.3 setup I had to set my longitude to 267.4 E, which should be equivilant to 92.6 W, and my latitude to 32.5 N. USALS seems to work perfectly for my Southern-most satellite (Telstar 5), which is 97 W and for satellites such as Galaxy 10R (123 W) and AMC 4 (101 W). For satellites East of
Telstar 5, such as AMC 5 (79 W) and AMC 3 (87 W), the motor still rotates the proper distance, but still in the Western direction. This does not make any since to me. The equipment I purchased is a Fortec Star DVB-735NA receiver, a Fortec Star FC90CM 36" pole-mount satellite dish, a Satcontroll
SM3D12 HH motor, and a Fortec Star FSKU-2v digital/analog universal KU LNBF. My setup for the Antenna Settings are as follows:
Antenna: 1
LNB Type: Universal
LNB Power: V/H
DiSEqC: Off
12V: On
Any help would really be appreciated. I want to say it must be a software problem with the receiver. My Boot Version is 1.00, APPL Version is 1.18 NT, and C.A. Version is 0.00. Has anyone else experience similar problems. Thanks for you help in advance. MDProuty
