SilverCrest SL 65 and motorised dish setup

[BGonaSTICK]

Try enabling DiSEqC 1.2 in the motor menu again, and select Sirius 5E as a test. Now scan it. There won't be many channels you can actually watch, but it will prove your motor is working OK. Check the scale on your motor again to be happy that the dish has traversed the sky by the correct amount.

If you're setting up on Atlantic Bird 3 from your longitude at 3W, then you should really drive the motor so that the scale reads 2W before you physically align on AB3 if you want accurate tracking of the satellite arc. What you've done so far should give you some reasonable results for now though. You can always perfect it later

Check out and compare the satellite tables at sites like Lyngsat.com, Flysat.com or KingofSat.net with what your receiver actually finds during a scan to be confident you are on the correct satellite. After a while this will become second nature. These websites all indicate the channels that are FTA (usually by colour coding), and these are the ones you can test-view.
