satellite newbie needs installation help..........

[retard]

so i just this new frotec lifetime motorized satellite and i need help with the installation.....

so i had the satellite hooked up on my apartment building roof and my satellite elvation is at 23 degrees and azimuth is at 183.3 degrees.....

on my tv i get a level of 70 but i can't get any quality no matter what i do..... i have tried moving the dish all over the place and i still can't get any quality......

my zip code is 49009
lat : 42.26
log : 85.6

oh yeah i didn't tilt the LNB at all....

so does anyone have any ideas to what i am doing wrong..... why can't i get any quality........

Setting motorized dish is different than the fixed one.
Below is the link where you can find instrucion of setting the dish up:

well i have 2 or the 3 angles....
i don't have the mount angle thou....
the chart on that site isn't for the stab mount...... or are they the same thing...

[dtsexpert]

The link I gave you does have info for Stab. People, please do some reading before asking questions.
Basically, there are 2 elevation angles you need to set:
1. The Stab mount = your Latitude
2. The dish = use the formular. Check out the link I gave you.

Once all the elevation angles are set, aim your dish at your duesouth satellite.

:?:
am i to assume that the STAB mount uses the same angle as the moteck mount?

[dtsexpert]

The elevation angle for both SG2100 and Stab are the same which is your LAT.
The only difference is the dish elevation angle. For the Stab, check out the link for the formular.
Stab manual does have the formular. You can follow the instruction here or the manual. Both should work if you follow step by step.
Good luck,
Michael
