gently please - Positioner help

i am pretty sure its going to zero, looked at gauge under motor and its going to 0 each time i send it there, Am i doing the next stage right though do i need to insert bouquet then send the dish to Thor then move dish around to locate sat

Its its aligned to thor 100% and everything is plumb, you should be able to switch to other satellites no problem.

What the signal strength like on Thor?

Try upload mine or catseyes latest Enigma 2 settings, then switch to another strong satellite like 13, 19 or 28.2.

No its not aligned to thor where thor should be i have nothing i am off work so gonna mess a bit today

You may need to mess about with satfinder application and also may need to tweak the angle of the dish (Not the motor).

On the satfinder app, configure it so that you are locking on to Thor at 0.8W. Then see the signal strength monitor to see the strength. You will need to move the dish about.

signal appears erratic 99% down to 0% and everything in between, going back out now to have a fiddle can i clarify if select a channel say on sirius or hotbird should i be able to move dish and get reception? sounds daft i know but i am now starting to doubt everything i know.

If you select the BBC World News channel on Thor 0.8W .... That is FTA. You should get a good signal to that....

But id try locking on to the satellite...it will be a ball ache of a job alligning with out a meter....
