New and need help
I am kmax but go by Max. I was once up on this Dtv stuff. NOT any more.
I live in Oklahoma and have the south and west sky open. I bought a signal finder but cannot for the life of me get a signal. Or do I know a good bird to try to find. I have one of those motorized 36" dish. I think maybe the elevation is off or something. I have tried 20+ times with no luck._max
Please help if you can
Thanks

Re: Need help from some pros
You should point your dish to your true south first by hand so after that you will work with your motor flawless.
check the post #8 here http://www.abadss.com/forum/29-fta-a...d-33-dish.html
try to setup to the right position. |
