30 inch dish!!!

[monkeyu]

Good morning! I like to have diagram on how too hook up 110,119,129,82,91 on one dish and only one reciever! Also include switchs too! Thank u!!

I think you would have to be in a location where you probably need a 12" dish per satellite to get all those on 1 30" dish. Get a motor and if that dish is good enough for all those sats you will get them no problem. Get a SG-2100 motor, they are fairly cheap and work great. Then you only need 1 LNB too and no switch.

Saulin!! Very good idea! I have ordered one! But do to the mail strick its not moving!! So i am changeing the dish size to 39 inch dish now to recieve all the the satellites i want till my motor is here!! so any diagrams and switchs in pictures will be great help!!

Motors are bit tricky to setup the first time. You need to find your longitude and latitude using
http://www.dishpointer.com/. Then you need to make sure that the pole where the motor is going to go is straight up. As level as possible so that the motor can pick up all sats with the best signal possible. This is where I had issues because my motor and dish are mounted on a tripod.

Then depending on your longitude you have to aim for the sat closest to you. For me my longitude is 113.4 so I had to aim at Satmex 6 at 113W but I can't hit that sat, so I instead aimed at 110W and adjusted my motor a few degrees. It does take some reading, so look for a guide on setting up the SG-2100, there are some on the internet. Do some reading so you have a good idea of what you need to do when you get the motor.

Right now if I was to set another one up. I would do it my way.

Set the pole as straight as possible. Use the settings recommended on the manual for the SG-2100 as close as possible. But since I can't hit 113W, I would aim for 110W and manually move the dish so I have perfect signal on 110W.

Then I would turn the LNB power off using the receiver. Then set my coordinates on the receiver for my location. exactly what my longitude and latitude is. And choose to move the motor to 110W using those coordinates. Of course since the LNB power is off, the motor doesn't move but the receiver thinks it moved it. It doesn't matter because you already have the signal at 110W. Now you turn the LNB power on and your motor should be locked on 110W using your coordinates. The receiver should be able to hit all the sats you can hit with very good signal on all of them. This is not how the manual says to set it up, but I tested it and it works really good as long as your Dish is big enough for the satellites you plan to catch you should have no issues getting good signal on all of them. 39" is a very good size for a motor dish :)

Hi Saulin! I Have question for u! I am trying to figure out how i am suppossed to change over to the Motech SG 2100 fron HH100 stab! Because the elevation and set up is different to change over? I was trying to up load picture to show u! But i couldn"t make it work!! Hope to here from u soon!!!

[saulin]

You have the HH100 installed right now? You could have used that one too.

The manual for the SG-2100 has the elevation setting according to your location.

i have 129-119-110-91-82 on a elliptical 18x24 inch dish here .

Crazy! I was thinking of getting a 29.5x35.4 elliptical dish, the one that digiwave makes.

But since I need minimum 36" just for 129 I doubt that I would get 82/91/110/119/129. I should be able to get 110/119/129 though. Someone here has an Ariza Elliptical dish. I know it's 36 but I don't know by what, probably 24-25 though, it looks very elliptical. And he gets 110/119/129 and 129 is as strong as it's on my 36" offset dish

You guys get good signal for Bev there in the States. Here in Canada the Dish Network signal can be very weak. I'm still in a good spot. Further North you may need a 140cm dish or bigger for 110 or 129

The HH100 STAB motor is shot!!! Gears are gone and extra!!! Just trying to fiure how to adjust this dish with the old bracket to the motech SG 2100 that i supposed to get with the motor!!!
