Default Re: Complete satellite system for a newbie

Because if the new dish has been sited blocking the Sky dish one of them has to be moved, that is if you want to use both of them.
To track the satellite arc correctly you need to get the basics right, if the pole is plumb, on your new dish, and the dish is connected correctly, I'd move the Sky dish, as it's easier to move, being smaller and a fixed dish.
The first things I'd check, on your motorised dish, is the angle of elevation, as it might not be right, but it's difficult to tell from photographs.

In addition to what Mickha says, until you have more experience it is easier to start at the beginning again and go through everything step by step to make sure it works, than try and figure out where you went wrong. My first attempt at motorising my TD110 was a bit of a disaster, so I took it down and started again. Now I have done a few I can usually figure out what adjustment needs to be made to make it work. Once you have the dish and motor off make sure the pole is plumb, if it is no need to take it off if you are going to move your sky dish. Next thing to check is that the dish is lined up with the centre spline of the motor. Pick one of the guides and follow it step by step, you will get there with it.
