just a bracket on which is placed on the the back of triax 1.1
i did not move my dish very far would i have to still
set my dish up again longitude, latitude

Did you Check Plumb Levels of the Mounting Bracket ?

Removing the Dish and Motor + Bracket is one thing.....


Getting It Plumb Mounted on the Wall is entirely another thing...

I would NOT interfere with Setting of the STB but try and get the Mount Brackets PROPERLY SETUP before tinkling with anything else....


I.E What Ever sat you were looking at before moving try and tune in to this again with your Signal Finder (Ear Piece or Signal Meter) to get the levels back to where you left off.....

This is all that comes to mind an the moment Marco....

Best Of Luck.....

mate you will still need to allign your dish but long/lat will be near as makes no difference the same

Thanks Very Much for Reply Plessy, Simon Much appreciated
I moved my dish From the wall outside my house.
to a pole i am setting up my wires from
Motor to receiver If you know what i mean.
i have got a sat finder and a pair of walky talkys
sat finder and walkys
the receiever i use to try and get quality and signal is hummy

not a big job if you had the dish pointed at say 1w then all that is needed is to move the whole unit east west untill you find that sat the long lat will be the same make sure the pole is vertical

[echelon]

as mentioned above you would normally leave the dish elevation and motor elevation alone , just put the whole gamut onto the pole and tell the motor to go to 1 west by operating a receiver that worked before ( your hummy ? ) and look for the fta channels like bbc news , once its stopped rotating , move the whole assemble around the pole until bbc news comes up , tighten the bolts whilst on bbc news , then try 28e and 30w and 39e or 42e and maybe something like 45w if you can , then check positions in between if ok up to now

bear in mind that you may have to slightly tweak the dish or motor for best possible signals aross the sat range , but as long as you never disassembled it from the wall the assembly is still valid , as is your usals position ( if using usals and not diseqc )

Thanks for Replys
i moved my dish about 20 to 30 foot

Hey Marco ?

Just One Other thought that came to mind ?

Is the Wall that you are relocating your Dish To "Parallel" to the one you removed it from ?


If So then this will be a very easy task for you ! i.e. No Fooling around with the motor on the pole ?

But if the wall/location that your are moving to is not on the same angle then you will have to play with the East/West Motor mount of the motor But Not the Dish elevation or the settings within your Hummy.......


Blimey ! It always startes out as a simple job, but gets complicated as time goes on....

hope you get it sorted :)

also use dishpointer to determine the satellites in relation to your mounting point and also to get bearings from local landmarks like trees or houses etc, it will also show you obstacles if any are there
