I have a 1 M dish from SatelliteAV. The motor and the dish were bought at the same time. My due South or center satellite is 91W. Live close to New Orleans. The motor latitude is set at 30 degrees just like my location, and the dish elevation was set per Dishpointer instructions.
According to Dishpointer.com: Elevation 54.7 degrees
Azimuth 182.4 True (183.0 Mag)
Skew 2.1 clockwise ( it is motorized so it set a Zero degrees)
After my first posting, I went outside and played and adjusted the Dish Elevation which as suspected, the printed scale on the dish was defenitely off for almost 3.5 degrees. Used a mechanical inclinomete as well as a digital one. Was able to find two ABC news Channel (91W ) while trying to locate 95W.
The mosquitos were hungry, so I called it a day for now. Will give it another try tomorrow.
