Title: Starting out Post by Mikale on Oct 15th, 2006 at 8:15pm
Hello to all members,
I am a newby. I live in East Anglia, near Colchester, Essex. I am about to try and set up my 1.2 Channel Master (Andrews) with a new H-H 1224 Supermount motor. Question; I have worked out my site location, with SatSigs calculator and came up with 51.9290 N - 0.7179 E looking at Hotbird 13E. When I double checked my location via post code, I got 51.9282 N - 0.720385 E. Are the lat and long that critical? or will my previous location be OK? I used the SatSig map for the first position. At present the dish is moved by 24" Jaeger but I am finding I have to re-correct the dish position on my receiver. My system is approx 7 years old, and the polar mount is a bit rusty with a bit too much movement. Any/all advice appreciated. Thank you in advance, Mikale System; Echostar 3600VIA, 1.2 C.M. dish, + D.C.+loader, D2Mac, |
