FIX YOUR FTA RECEVIERS
|
ok guys,as we know,epg for bev still pretty much is no good.
here is a tip to get a much better epg for bev:
push menu/installation/edit tp-satellite/click on the nimiq you have (1 or 2 for 91/82) push OK on remote/rename.
rename your bev bird to: ECHO 1/KU (all caps and the space between echo and one are impotant,this "space" is located at the top right corner just before the "!" symbol. you can use any number in place of "1" just be sure it is not the same as anyother echo bird your pointed at)
push OK on remote to save.now push power button on remote off then on.
wait 10-20 secs to see a MUCH better epg for bev.
BUT!!!!!!!! DO NOT FORGET TO CHANGE THE NAME BACK AS IT WAS BEFORE YOU SCAN NEXT TIME!!!!
then repete this quide.
enjoy.

FTA Dish Motor alignment
1. Find out your Latitude and Longitude (i found mine online by entering my postal code)
2. Use a level and make sure your dish mounting pole is plumb.....this is important, take the time, be fussy and get it plumb.
3. Mount the dish motor, so that the dish motor shaft is vertically plumb (use a level).
4. make sure the motor shaft is in the ZERO (center) position
5. Mount the dish to the motor shaft
6. Go to WWW.LYNGSAT.COM and find a bird thats close to your Longitude. my longitude was 80.........so i picked AMC5 which is 79
7. Aim the dish, use the dish to adjust for elevation (dont adjust the motors evelevation....leave it vertically plumb), Losen the motor mount bolts to adjust the dish from side to side(be sure the motor shaft stays in the ZERO position), adjust to get the best signal quality possible for the bird that corresponds to your Longitutde.
8. Once locked on, tighten everything up.
9. Now if you use USALS with your receiver you should be able to hit everything you aim for. This method has worked for me and im able to move to 11 birds with no trouble or fine tunning using USALS with a 33" dish.
Note: if you cant find a bird that bang on to you Longitude.......find the one that is closest to it.
Most recomend that you adjust your elevation using a combination of the dish and the motor together to achieve the desired elevation. This method is more complicated and tricky and not necessary........if your pole is plumb and your motor shaft is vertically plumb you will get desireable results

Before start in this hobby, may sure at least you read a minimun of post to collect the necessary information to begin a project.
Basic elements : Compas or Brujula(spanish),valors of your location ex: long and latitud,see if you have clear visibility in the sky space where you need set your antenna .
Un FTA receiver,for domestics need a D500 or DT oval with 2 lnb separates if a dish pro lnb you can use it.
For international you need at least a 30'' with a linear LNB if mayor of 30'' is better quality.
The settings for miami ex: is 240 azimuth,139 skew and 41 of elevacion,this last is aproximatly depends in some places you need a little ajust of elevation this is for D500
A good tool for take information about sats is lyngsat.com there you found all about sats locations anyway you can use other place if you have one.
Some tools used to install a system are Drill,cube of diferents sizes,screw of wood or concrete (blues)
Each receiver come available to see FTA,other use is onder you own risk and never have warranty.
Hre in the diferents section you can found everything to put on the air many marks of receiver ,only take a little time and read inside our posts and Threads.
We are available to help you anytime. |
