Do I have all these numbers right?

[SpazMachine]

I just got the perfect choice system in the mail and am starting to set it up. I have the mast nice and level and solid and am starting to put the dish mover and the dish together. I think I have figured out all the angles but I am not sure. Can someone check all this out?

My zip code is 84321 which puts my lattitute at 41.68 N and longitute 111.64 W. According to the chart I should set the angle of the Stab HH100 to 49 degrees. I have that set.

Now the dish angle is what is confusing me. The calculator gives me a p value of 42.6 so I do 42.6-(60-41) I get -23.6 Is that the angle I should put on the dish? This dish has an offset angle of 24.62. Do I have to take that into account or are the markers on the side doing that for me?

So far I have told the usals to put me on Telstar 7 TP1:RTVE Freq 03707 Pol H s/r 07174. I have a signal of 70 (pretty much no matter what) and quality of 0. Obviously I have messed something up? Anybody see what it is?

Thanks,
Cody

Your dish elevation angle is correct at 23.6 and that's what you should adjust your dish at using the scale on the back of the dish.

Your HH100 angle is wrong. You should change it to your Latitude value (41.7)

Make sure the motor, dish, feedarm, and LNBF are all pointing at true south (about 165*).

When you select a satellite, make sure you also select a "LIVE" transponder from the TP Data. To check what is live on that satellite check the Lyngsat.com charts.

Enter your Lat/Long into your receiver. Make sure your Longitude value is followed by blank and not "E". To change it from E to West, use the "PAGE UP" button on your remote.

Click OK on USALS

The Motor will move to your satellite. If your dish installation is perfect, you should see a green signal and quality when the motor stops. If not, try adjusting your motor azimuth slightly East or West until your get a green signal. Maximize your quality. Adjust your dish elevation slightlu to peak/maximize your quality.

Once quality/signal are maximized, click on "START" to start searching the channels on that satellite.

I have 736V3 receiver and I see that you said enter Lat/Long into receiver,(e,W) where do I enter that

In Channel Search Menu, Go to positioner.

Change it to DiSEqC 1.3
Click OK on DiSEqC 1.3
Enter your Lat/Long in the new window.

For West Long, use the PAGE UP key on your remote to change the LONG from E (EAST) to W (West) or just blank.
