New setup

[bungouk]

no matter wat i do the the quality stays on 20% i havent been able to lock onto any satellites yet.

you should put 52.3 north on both the motor and in the box and 0.2 West in the box.

You could have atleast said thanks for the warning. Unless you dont mind people knowing where you live.

Thanks for letting me know

can you connect the box up to your sky dish?and then scan some FTA channels in on 28.2east then you can use this to set the motor up.the co-ordinates must still be entered correctly for this to work.but I have given details of how to do this in the guide I sent you, did you recieve it?

[bungouk]

yes thanks got the guide just reading it now

[bungouk]

I must be doing something wrong as i cant get anything thanks for all the suggestions.
Dont suppose any of you live near huntingdon cambridgeshire

A lot of it is trial and error m8. Double check EVERYTHING. If you pole is slightly out of plumb its enough for you to miss the satellites. Make sure all your leads are well fitted, f connectors everything.

signing off now back tomorrow. did you try connecting the box to the sky dish? hope to hear it up and running when I look .

[bungouk]

Well still cant sort it how ever i do have someone coming over in the morning to install it for me.
Only costing ?45 dont think that was to bad.

Bung Ive been there mate,took me 3 days

The good men on this forum got me there,I was smacking my head against the wall too.
You learn so much more doing it yourself.

Get that "the dish aint high enough" out of your head mate...these satellites are 1000s of miles away,I dont think another 8 or 9 foot is going to matter pal.

I could of got you there using noobs terms and instructions but seeing as youre getting a bloke in,theres no need.

Hope he sorts it for,GL Mate

just checked the guide I posted and opens ok for me dont forget it needs unzipping,its also best to download using "firefox" as internet explorer corrupts the file sometimes.

you can get it open with internet explorer showing "corrupt" but it takes abit of work and you need 7-ZIP you can get this free off the net(just click decline on the ads).
heres how.
down load zip file and right click goto 7-zip extract files>ok right click again>and right click on open thenright click again>7-zip extract files>ok then keep double left click til files open.
