im replacing a 1.2m plus jack with a 65cm on diseqc. i have not installed a diseqc motor before and all guides i see are for other areas or just poor.
its mounted to a heavy vertical iron tripod that is magnetic enough to thow a compass out.
im not used to ofset dishes either, all my others are big PF with jacks.
mainly i want this little baby dish for sky news, bbc news, france24, aljazeera, etc mostly on astra1k or hotbird. the location is an upper flat roof section that can see almost the full arc down to hispasat just over the ridge tiles.
i have a v8 finder with the tv screen. my nearest to damnit south satellite is badr4/eshail2 with is my allighnment point for my 2 big 2.4m PF dishes although that constellation is going to be very weak on a tiny 65cm offset.
please help get this running right, i already spent 2 days on the roof. i need to know where to set the actual dish elevtion bracket, the motor elevation, and perhaps a way to confirm south more precisely as the compass spins when it gets near.
