Hi,

Go to motorised setting and select USALS, then in Position setting enter your latitude and longitude.

Then send the dish to Thor 0.8W. The motor should end up very close to zero.

Set the scale on the side of the motor to your LATITUDE. As long as the pole is vertcal, adjustment of the dish, and moving the whole lot round the pole for best signal on 11325H, should get you the 'ARC'

The motor body, will end up pointing due SOUTH.

hi i have do that but its more like 50 not 0! i have my lon/lat in USALS ! but i must have put them in wrong . in right lon to lon lat to lat . but am lost what to do ! i have 000.0 for lon and 00.0 for lat from start . i put in frist numbers is that right or do i put in 2and? lon/lat off multimap.com

you would put in latitude 54.5 and select north and then longitude you would enter 1.4 and select west

then save the settings

next select thor satellite press on the go to satellite

next align up on thor buy using the bbc world transponder 11325h from a viewable tv, if you don't have a signal meter

problem on 28e got 27.5e what is that? i want 28e not that

[wod]

in the motorised setting you should be able to edit the satellite position to 28e, strange that they are half a degree out in the receiver settings

i've this receiver, have you patched it?
I found that when you patched it (with any Patch) all sats said east ... you can either master reset it which will bring you back the original satellite list, OR amend them all in satellite set-up....

[wod]

strange bug that as my technomate tm1500 has never done this when patched

find thor 1west and get the best signal and tighten up

then reset the receiver and enter the usals cordinates again

I think you may have downloaded a channel list too, and someone has been tweaking the sat positions. In Motorised settings, you can simply change it back to 28.2.E

ok lads i have bean on with motor dish + tm since my last post ! cant get 28e at all just 27.5e ? all sats come up as east not west ie 12.5e + transponders are all messed up ? got thor but only have 14 channles! should be about 150+ channles? i am getting the 14 on a 60cm dish so if i can 14 i should get them all ? as for the tm3100d just new out of the box but the shop did patch it! and i have put lon/lat in but think its still out about 2/4 clicks out. more ladders oh no! will have to make some t&ks tomorrow that craplan thing is sh%t so is the dish!
