I have spent last two days trying to align my motor and dish and have managed to receive astra1 and astra 1D3A but thats all I can get. could anyone please tell me what I have done wrong? I am sure the motor is set at the correct elevation and the centre line of the dish bracket lines up with the centre line on the motor pole, and the post they are attached to is definately 100% vertical.. Any advise would be much apreciated.

im guessing its missing the arc some where mate it can be a right b**ch to sort out and all, what box are u susing and are u using usals or not? -
try this guide mate its for std technomates but the basics are the same. if your mounting pole is 100% plumb and your dish is 100% central on the motor spigot and you setup correctly on your target sat you will trac the arc well enough.Comment

I am using Technomate 500 super as the reciever and not using usalsComment

any reason you are not using "usals" as once you have found one sat with that system the rest will be found automatically
the file I have sent is for the older TM500 but may helpLast edited by dick b; 3 April, 2011, 15:58.Comment

maybe a stupid question but can you use usals with any motorised system?Comment

I think all diseqc motors sold now are compatable with usals.
but only Stab ones are allowed to call it that(they invented it),all the others call it GO TO X function.what motor do you have?if its a TM2300 or TM2600 coupled with your box it will work fine on usals.just follow the guides I sent.
if you are using a 36V motor and V box I dont think they work on usals but I suspect you are using a single cable diseqc motor.Last edited by dick b; 4 April, 2011, 15:15.Comment

Enter your longditude/latitude figures for your location on your box, then send your dish/motor to Thor 0.8w.
Now adjust your dish elevation/azimuth untill you get the best possible signal from Thor, lock up all your bolts equally so not to pull it out of alignment.
Double check signal strength after everything is tight and adjust if signal as gone down.
Now when you send the motor to other satellites, you should find them no problem.
Hope this has helped mate, this is how I set motors up and it as always worked for me, just got to make sure the mast/pole is plumb like others have said.Comment

Thanks for that when you say put longitude and latitude into box do you mean using the usals setup? If so can I use usals with a technomate TM2600 motor?Comment
