M - Validation of the satellites
For each satellite, you have now to store the right position in the motor. The operation is done
for Hotbird and Atlantic Bird 3, you have to do it for Astra, etc.
Example for Astra 19° E
• Go onto the Astra reference
(1)
channel.
• Go into the DiSEqC 1.2
(2)
menu and give a number
(6)
to Astra 19°E (03 if you hesitate).
• By a continuous rotation (4) and then a step by step rotation
(5)
, make the motor turn to
obtain the maximum level and quality.
• Store
(7)
the position founded.
• Check that you receive the Astra channel. If not, it means that you stored the position of
another satellite, which broadcasts some channels at the same frequency. Try the operation
above again and make sure that your satellite dish is pointed slightly on the left from Hotbird
like shown on the Diagram M below. Do the same operations for the other satellites. When
you receive all the satellites, screw definitively all the nuts. Your installation is finished.
@
Note : The Hispasat or Turksat reception with a motorised installation is very difficult
and needs a perfect alignment. For the reception of this satellite, we advise a fixed
installation, with a particular look at the adjusting of the counter-polarization.
