Any response would be helpful. And I have noticed that on AMC6 I only recieve KTEL not any other channels like that NBC channel (maybe it moved). I'm learning little by little, it will take me some time, but I thought USALS would make it easier but no luck yet. |
Use as many significant digits as you can (43.9 and 72.6) to make it as accurate as possible. If you can find someone with a GPS unit, it will be even more accurate...
Be sure to line up everything to your magnetically adjusted south, with the motor at zero. Then use USALS to move the motor to AMC6, and adjust the whole motor mount (not the dish left right) side to side to peak a working transponder, while moving the dish elevation up and down at the same time. If the pole is true, and you're locked on your highest sat, the ones to the left and right should show up.
the NBC channel comes in good for me on my 31" Fortec dish, but I changed to
Invacom LNB from the "older" fortec Universal model.
Sadoun now sells an updated Fortec LNB that should match the performance of the Invacom unit. It would be interesting to swap to that as a performance test, but I don't need 3 LNBs here and only 1 dish :lol:
Please post back your progress.
