[podgey3874]

hi just had my sat dish moved on to a new property wan to pick up 7w belive i can get it in my area
if i nudge east 8 times i pick up some transponders with about 50 percent signal on there but not all transponders what do i need to do to save this postion and also pick up the transponders on that sat i am missing i have a 1m motorrised black ultra lnba 5402 hd in wakefield

There's no way you will pick up 7W in Wakefield with a 1m dish. Are you sure it's not 7E. You would need a 4-5m metre dish.

Mean 7.3

Meant 7.3 eutelsat

You should be able to Pick this up although you will have only a small rain fade margin due to the dish size, I installed a Motorised system in Warrington at the weekend on a TD110 and that pulls it in no problem. you have to factor in your area and any RF Interference LOS issues etc...

Well I am picking some channels up asI have said but had to nudge east I noticed a had to nudge with 8 presses to east but when I do this and save the position it changes my motor to 1.2 for this satellite is it ok to do this or is there a better way I read somewhere about changing the longitude and latitude

You mean bodge it because the install is not 100% in the first place.

[podgey3874]

Exactly but this is not what am wanting to do as I myself see this as a bodged way of saving the satellite
My installer is coming to realign on Wednesday so just wanted to no what a should be telling him as when he first came he didn't no a lot about 5402hd receivers
I notice he fitted me with a black ultra lnb and has used ctfc-t10 sat cable

you should have got someone decent to do the job in the first place and this second call would never have happened, An installer should be able to configure at least 90% of the receivers available today on the market and not just fumble along. This is getting as bad as the Clone receivers Buy Cheap - Buy Twice almost anyway. Listen you pay peanuts you get ladder monkeys simple.

Not Slating you mate just stating a Fact, It may have been prudent to ask on here if anyone could have recommended an installer in your area for a start or you could have attempted it yourself, Plenty of guides for installing a motorised dish on the forum and if you got stuck plenty of members are here to give you a helping hand

I personally have never understood why folk don't ask about installations more. My first installation was my multi lnb and having never set up a dish before never yet had to ask a question that had never been asked and answered previously. It was just a matter of grabbing all the info and using a bit of common sense compiling it into something that made sense to me. My android phone and dm satfinder were an absoloute god send saving miles of up and down ladders
