Anyone has the instructions in aligning a Polar Mount linear jack type of dish? (Also known as H-H Mount). The difficult part would be to align the declination angle.
Thanks

I to would be very interested in this. Also as the jack/actuator is run via a vbox what additional steps would need to be taken? What is the start position of everything on a Polar Mount?

but great guide and info if it could be expanded PLEASE. G

If the box reboots when you enter sat finder or try to change satellite, I think it's a problem with the power supply.

Looks like you are looking at a minimum of 110cm dish, mate.

Thanks agrima,
Now can i put a 110cm on a wall or would a ground setup be best? been looking at a few systems and they say supplied with wall mount motor can i just put that on wall and stick a dish on it?
Anyone know of any dealers in north west area i'm in cw7
Thanks again
