Installing a Motorised Dish

[ptercook]

I have a motor which has an adjustable bracket which has Lattitude / Elevation settings which i believe i set to my lattitude co-ordinations of my house

however the clamp that attached the dish to the motor arm also has a an adjustable bracket this isnt labelled but has markings from 20 - 90 degree. im unsure as to what i set this value to?

help appreciated

i think i know what you mean m8 are you wondering how to set the elevation?

[ptercook]

this is the motor... on one side it has elevation on the other side lattitude.


this is the bracket that holds the dish that atached to the motor arm

im thinking it shouldnt be set to anything as it could be designed for a static dish that... mm

ill give it a go on both in terms of the settings on the dreambox
