Read the post " 10east on a motorised system " posted by "far " in GENERAL SATELITTE CHAT last post,, many helpful tips...


If the tube is hollow but sealed at one end then down,,, otherwise it collects rain and other sh¤t

As skomedal says.. Down is good :D

Have just checked on HI SAT
Seems the rotor ( dish holder ) must be UP...

So sorry for wrong info

Dish elevation adjustment ( the long slot ) down

[^^COMPASS^^]

A general rule of thumb if your not sure is look where lnb & receiver connections are these should be pointing downwards to prevent water entering.

hope this helps ;)
