Afn satellite dish setup

The LNB according to satsig was to be placed at 45 degrees and that is where I put it. I will try tonight to adjust it back to 0 degrees and see what happens. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

It's pretty dark out there where the dish is so they won't come out well until daylight comes. Thanks -. Well I found a dish, 2 meter, put the lnb on it and no change in results. Can anyone verify that the lb will work with the new bird? Unfortunately there isn't anyone that I know of here outside of the AFN crew that disperses the signal everyone uses antennas to point to that I could use as a reference.

Getting anywhere near that place is trying at best. That is my next step to go over there and see what they have theirs pointed at. I did take a picture at night of the dish. The LNB is set to zero straight vertical with the coax connectors down and have still yet to get signal.

JPG Ralph, I am hoping that you have the azimuth and elevation switched in your reply.. I am actually in Tallil and not baghdad. I used the same site you referenced to get the parameters based on my GPS location. I'll get a better pic of the LNB.

My problem with this particular dish is that I can't get it to 36 degrees without rigging the base, I suppose this could be a problem as well considering the mast is no longer plumb when I do that. It took some adjusting just to get the base of the dish plumb on the mast, it was around 86 degrees instead of My Location Berkshire.

Looking at that photo, your dish is an offset dish it has around 24 degrees of elevation when the dish face is vertical , at the moment it is pretty near pointing straight up, elevation from your location is Address: tallil, iraq Latitude: Here are some more pics.

Thanks for the heads up on the elevation offset. According to my math using the tiltmeter it should be at 51 degrees? I think it just hit me.. So the tilt meter should read 78 degrees elevation for the eurobird 9a right? Yes brother I have many friends using Eutelsat 9A at 9e Satellite in zambia, though you need autorole powerVU receiver to opening the channels flawlessly.

Also help confirm the sizes of dishes to be used in tracking the satellites I wish to list unto you Badr7 26e beoutQ sports package,Hotbird 13e,Hipasat 13w,Amos 4w,Asiasat I will be impatiently waiting for your reply Sir. I was later informed that the company is now out of business.
