hi guys got a m8 fit my dish last year now its gone out of line think he set it up wrong here are settings i got from sat pointer

Motor Latitude: 53.0°
Declination Angle: 7.6°
Dish Elevation: --° <<wots that mean looked on motor on between 25 56 that write
Elevation: 29.4°
Azimuth (true): 180.0°
Azimuth (magn.): 182.7°
LNB Skew [?]: 0.0°
Turn counter-clockwise standing behind the dishTurn clockwise standing behind the dish
Dish Skew [?]: 90.0°
Turn counter-clockwise standing behind the dishTurn clockwise standing behind the dish

long and lat are in on my box
i think dish angle needs moving down a bit

i cant get any any sats like 30w or 16 east only sky etc
needs setting up right its tm 2300 motor with 1 meter dish located in stoke

when he set it up was it working then
if yes then he hasnt set it up wrong
if its never worked then yes he has set it wrong
but anything can cause a motor to go out of alinement

Good stuff, the bolts want to be nice and tight, but don't over do it or you can distort the bracket

You mean Abu Dubai Sports on 26e ? Your looking at 3m+ for that m8

The other problem with Abu Dhabi Sports on 26e BADR6 is the card paired Humax receivers are less sensitive & they might be messing with it or the way the receivers work.... so to get through every 3pm in all weather conditions we just didn't bother spending too long trying & just swapped to Viasat for the pubs fast and that has problems with some of the HD channels & receivers so some of the big dishes have been swung round from Nilesat to 4.8e just in case.

Still love to get it up here though... just no time to mess with it atm.
