Motorised motor technomate 2300 m3 issues

[bmitie]

here is an update and its not good, i changed everything today, motor tecnomate 2300 m3, lnb and dish, But set it all up as previous, lat. elevation, pole plumb and so on moved to 0.8w for al jazeera and nothing, watching footie so no more time. I know 28east is strong so tried that and notice motor overshot so using the single button on motor, a pain. moved dish west and get 100% but thats it. I cant save it so once i go to another sat back to square one. I have time on monday soi will go back to supreme dark motor but that has play and ferret said on another post it can be adjusted but I cant find hole with grommet. I dont have a clue what I have done wrong with new motor, there is a reset hole, its a pin prick and the chances of me doing that while on ladder is pretty slim. Its on a pole above roofline but I cant get on roof anymore.

All suggestions welcome. I sold my meter a few years back so have to rely on an open window and listen for sound. And in the old days one could have a little tv on roof via rf, those were spiderbox days.

Post in thread 'Motorised satellite out of alignment'

Jun 20, 2021

Although dish alignment has been covered a few times on this thread below is a guide done by william-1 so a big thank to him for the guide, it's very comprehensive on dish alignment and fine tuning so thought it would of use. I dont agree with point 4. With a usuals motor and the correct coordinates in the receiver just send the motor to 0.8 west not zero. He as to adjust his longitude later in the guide because he used Zero so hes not tracking the arc correctly doing that.

1/ Pole must be dead vertical in 360 degrees (...

For signal tuning, I connect to the box's web interface and just use the sat finder via the button.

I use OpenATV though so it might be different on other images:

All sorted now, as posted elsewhere, it was the alignment. feeds as per pic

Thanks all for the tips and been reminded of the 3 dots,, made all the difference. That triax dish is something else knocks spots off the 1m gilbertini. As for the technommate 2300 m2 got me foxed and left for another day.
