    Hello managers and dear friends, I have an offset rotary dish (premium motor) and I always adjust it carefully. A few days ago, the wind was very strong and stormy and destroyed the whole dish and the base. I went and opened it completely and leveled the base again, then I installed the motor on it, then I started to adjust and get the directions of the satellites. Then, due to the fact that I was taking the directions manually, the quality of the signals in different directions was very low. Then when I pushed or pulled the upper and lower parts of the dish, the quality of the signal went down. But when I pushed or pulled the sides of the dish, the quality of the signal increased. What do you think is my problem? Help me please

    you need to move the entire dish and its motor, either left or right (east or west) to get better signal.

    Slow on steady checking signal on multiple channels each time.

    Repeat the test on many satellites as well, one far east, one far west, and one about in the middle.

    Keep tweaking the dish until you get good signal across the full arc.

    Remember this is a slow careful process, it should not be done in a rush.


    What dish, motor and mount is it ? Pictures always help..... i hope the dish itself is not damaged from the wind and falling down....... good luck

    I replied to your first post as you typed the 2nd.....

    Measure on the sides of your mounting pole, at 4 points around it front, back , left, right..... (you get the idea.)

    (the top where you are currently measuring may not have been cut at a perfect 90 degrees to the mounting surface itself)

    Hello, managers and dear friends, regarding the above problem, when I said that I noticed something today, I told you that maybe there will be a solution for my problem. Today, when I adjusted the turntable base according to picture 1 and 2 and installed the motor and the dish on it and set the motor and the dish exactly to the south, then I started to adjust the direction, the signal quality was still low. Then, as the engine and dish were mounted on the base, I put the level on the engine and saw picture 3. Now, do you think there is a problem in aligning the base, motor and my dish or not? Please guide me how to fix this problem according to the things I mentioned. I will be grateful.
