1.8 channel master new dish set up.

[TJLOWE1]

A quick update,
How many of you have undone a couple of nuts to get better signal strength ?? well folish me , i've done that "AGAIN" !!! .
I told my girl friend i was happy with the dish and what it was giving me, then i changed my mind,went outside and ajusted a few things. needless to say, THE DISH AIN'T TRACKING THER ARC CORRECTLY NOW. !!.
Luckily i won't be beaten, and tomorrow dinner time i'll be back on the job !


i'll keep you all informed ( time for a beer now !! )

Well,
I have to agree with people, the dish is great,i feel i'm tracking the arc virtually 99.9 %, it takes a lot of time and calmness to get things set up as the slightest movement throws thing out, it's a very sensitive dish, all i've got to do now is program the box with the sat positions and scan the sats in and see what i get. !

The sat i've done is 7w so far and all you in the uk know how difficult it is to receive ANY h transponders, but here's the ones i have so far, 12034,11766,11804,11881,11919,119 58,11996,12073,12303,11843,12149, 12226, --The only ones i loose during the day are the last 3, the others are excellent viewing quality, with NO break up. V's are No problem at all. -- (spiderbox, Location Stoke on Trent,The Midlands.)

In my opinion money very well spent.

:respect-044: -- well done

you sound like you got it spot on now -- if you are getting all those H tps from your location -- i know only too well that it takes time and patience to get a 1.8 c.m. spot oin --
what l.n.b. and feed are you using -- out of interest ?

regards c.c.

i'm using a matched feedhorn with C120 0.3dB Inverto LNB, i think i started the job like 2/3 weeks ago, but well worth getting it right. (which means pulling one's hair out on more than 1 occasion. )

thanks for the reply --

yes - that,s the same feed and l.n.b. that i,v found to give the best results on my 1.8 - c.m. -- so far .
i,v never had any problems with my dish / mount setup -- since i got it setup right -
as you found out - it is very sensitive to slight adjustments --
but like i did - when i set up mine -- you will have gained a great deal of knowledge of installations . l.o.l.
