    is my dish off center ???

    hi guys ive just done my first motorised sat dish install (took me about 4 months,but thats another story )
    anyway got it on 0.8w thor bbc world news signal about 95,so ive done a scan ive got 6 sats on the eastside
    and 3 sats on the westside
    on the eastside they are
    4.8e (55 services)
    9e (44 services)
    13e (634 services)
    19e (417 services)
    26e (76 services)
    28e (333 services)

    on the westside im gettin
    0.8w (153 services)
    5w (34 services)
    and 30w (135 services)

    in theory i should be gettin 42e to 42w (i got a good view) but im only gettin these sats,the pole and brackets
    are plumb,so my theory that the dish is slightly off center to the east ???
    can anyone confirm this
    my set up consists of dm500s,97'' technomate mesh dish,tm2600 motor

    tia...

      Dm500s are known not to have the strongest tuners m8..

      Take it from me i'm able to pull in a lot more when i'm using my spiderbox on my motor instead of the dm500s..

      So its possible your on the arc but the tuner isnt strong enough to be able to view the weaker sats!...

      And then there's the possibility your dish and motor may be falling off the arc do to not being correctly aligned...

      It took 3 months for me to get the arc () and the wind is always blowing it offline so its a game of constant tinkering!

      I advise people to get a black inverto ultra lnb... For weak signals its the best high gain lnb on the market...
