    Help needed to set up motorised Dish

    hi guys,
    i hoping to set up my motorised system again after moving house.

    got a 1 metre dish & Technomate TM1500 & Fortecstar Motor.

    Am hoping to do it like (once dish fitted to motor) and everything is spot on using spirit level.

    Manually move motor & dish until i find 1 west with Sat bleeper than manually move dish East and store Satellites using Disqec Method

    OR can i change to usuals on TM1500 Reciever and enter my lattitude & Longittude

    eg LAT = 53.2797N (rounded off to 53.3)

    long = -2.8999W (rounded off to 2.9 W)

    And let the motor find each one in turn(Can i change back to Discqec Afterwards)

    Any help appreciated am a bit rusty on this

    Kindest Regards

      best bet is use usals and set your location in it, connect to motor and it will move to 0.8w when you select it, then look for bbc world news or sly news, then check other satellites

      when finished, select each sat and fta channel in turn, using usals, change to diseqc and move motor with left right buttons until you find that channel you just had, and store

      change back to usals and select next fta channel and sat and then change to diseqc , find it , save it , change back to usals etc

      repeat, repeat , repeat until all sats are found and storedunder both systems
